So I have been studying and trying to digest all the info on LS3. I finally took practice exam A last night, I felt like I wasn't 100% sure of 75% of them!! I thought, I must have got like a 35%...NO...got an 81%!!!! I had to do a triple take! Stillgoing to study my butt off. Any advice for that test? Things I should really go over??

Taking it on 3/16 and then I'll be awaiting my FCCA!!

I'm taking it TODAY at 2PM EST! I have the practice exams down pat this time since its a retake for me. Just remember to skip the ones you absolutely do not know when taking the real exam and save those for last. It worked great for me on LS2 which I passed about 2 weeks ago on the first attempt. I have LS3 (today) and Chronicity in 2 weeks left before FCCA. Pray that I pass today so I can move forward! Based on your practice exam score, I'd say you are pretty much good to go :)

1 dosage calc question based on weight, 3 or 4 "select all that apply" and some carryover from LS2 were on my exam. I had 1 question that required you to rank the disease process of a particular disease. The practice exams are great for this one but were not good enough for me the first time, but were a great help this time and I got a B. Know those rationales and it will help, I promise. PRIORITY is a big thing! A few medication questions, most were well known drugs. Spinal cord injuries were a big deal this time. Its 80% nursing care and 20% facts/or s/s. If you have read the practice exams and you keep seeing a complication associated with musculoskeletal injuries, yep....its a biggie on the exam also, you need to know it. Hope that was not to clear and at the same time clear enough to help you without violating anything.
