No matter how smart you are, You still have to put some effort into studying fot the test. I think you will pass the next time since you have some study material. I also recommend the EC pratice test. They really measure how well you are doing and some of the questions are on the actual test. My advice is to make sure you know the material in the study guide before you take the test. I think you plan is good. Good Luck!

Come join us on the distant Learning board under the students tab. There are alot of EC grad and people doing the program over there. I graduated from EC Feb 2008. It took me a year to complete the program. Its a great alternative for the crazy wait list to get into regular nursing programs in NC.
