Is there anyone else out there who is currently studying for the CCRN exam and would like to start a thread as perhaps a study and support group? I have just applied for the exam and have not yet set a date, but about in 3 months is when I will be taking it. I would love to be in communication with others in the same boat! I hope there is at least one other nurse out there! Thanks!

131/150 = 87%

I was getting about 78% on my practice tests but I reviewed the material I kept getting wrong and this test was better. I'm starting to memorize the answers though. What percentage do I need to pass the test?

WAY TO GO!!! Inculbliss!! You are going to do GREAT!! Passing is 70% and it is OK if you are memorizing some of the answers because those same or similar questions will be there on the actual exam and if you know WHY those are the right anwers (in other words, understand the rationales) that is what matters. NO ONE on this entire thread has ever done worse on the actual exam than on the Dennison quizzes, if anything people do a little better. Personally, I was getting 80% on the quizzes and I got 80% on the exam. So don't worry, you will PASS!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Be calm, be confident.... you are already a CCRN certified nurse!!! No doubt about it!!!
