The A& P Exam covers a lot of material-I used Cliffs Notes, materials from EBay(search Excelsior College),A&P for Dummies,an NCLEX review book & an A&P textbook(pictures helped)-know your systems-their basic structure,how they work & relate to each other

I studied 1-2hrs/day,about 6 weeks-you are not expected to know everything,try to keep it in perspective

Best of luck to you

hello there,

ec's a&p exam was the first i took. i figured if i could pass it for 6 credits, i could do the rest of the program. i passed the exam with an A. i about fell out of my chair when i saw that pop on the screen...lol!

i did study a lot. i used my LPN a&p book, found some study notes online, and got a list of 100 things to know for a&p, which helped some. i really didn't concentrate on anatomy, like learning every muscle, etc. my exam was way more physiology than anything.

i can look to see if i have some of my notes, i'm sure i do, i have saved everything i had. i'm a packrat. if you are interested, i will share my stuff and help you. just pm me, i'll be glad to help you.

I also used the A&P Cliff's Notes. I thought they were a great study tool.

It's a tough exam but passable. Good luck to you!

I am glad to know you purchased the Excelsior practice exams for A&P. That was a big help to me. I also went to some of the Yahoo/Excelsior College sites and downloaded a bunch of practice exams. You can also find "100 things to know" type notes for A&P also. Most of the Yahoo sites require permission to join, so it may take a few days before you can do this. It took me a LONG time to complete this course (months...and months..and months) ...longer than any other EC course, and that was studying 2 hours a day, minimum. Hats off to anyone who can do it faster. Six weeks is incredible! I think A&P and Microbi were the two hardest and longest courses. I have a HUGE file of notes for A&P if you would like them, PM me. Good luck!
