I wasn't sure whether it would be worth the $65 or not, but I'm so glad I did it now. I got a 78% and I know where my weak areas are now, so I will spend more time in those areas. I encourage anyone who's debating it to go ahead with the practice exams as it has proven useful to me! :)

I hope to be ready for my real exam by the end of the month! Woohoo!

I typically scored in the 70s on Form A and the 80s on Form B, and got A's on most of the exams. Great job!! :)

Y'all are lucky. When I was doing the EC program, they only had practice exams for NC 1-3. I would have done them for all my exams, if they had been available. They were soooo worth the money. :twocents:

I was wondering if the Health safety exam was true to the guide that they give you. I recently failed out of my last semester of conventional nursing by 1/2 a point. I really do not have the money to pay for a practice exam and was hoping that the guide covers everything that is in the exam. Please advise.

Thank you.

they are definitely worth the money. my policy was if i made a 60 or better than i took the real thing. the practice test were always harder than the real test....

Thank you to everyone that responded. Just finished my form A and was not happy with my results. I received at 63.. Yuck.. Next time I need to do this without screaming kids around me. Any advise as for studing. Looking over my results, I narrowed my answers down, but as usually chose the wrong answer. Just stupid mistakes.

First of all...You are doing the right thing. Reviewing the answers and rationales are a big help. On the 15th of Oct. I took practice B for NC3, and I made a 67...I thought man...I know this stuff better than that. I calmed myself down, and reviewed the material, and I felt better. I made an A on the actual test...So you are probably doing much better than you believe you are. Good Luck to you! You can do this.:wink2: Traci
