I uhhhhhh studied for 2 hours. I basically took the excelsior pre and post study test. I DO NOT recommend doing this, and WILL NOT do this for anymore of the tests.

I walked in to door prepared for anything. I did not realize there was 160 questions or I would have studied longer. For some reason I thought there was only 60. I almost cried. I literally bit off some nails waiting for the test results.

I highly recommend the tests thru excelsior. There were several questions that were VERY similar.

Good luck!!!:monkeydance:

When I took the tests (1997-1999) once I clicked done with the test I could scroll down a little further and see my grade immediately.

It is still the same way, just my computer was very slow. I was also having problems with my mouse. It needed to be cleaned, and I knew if I started to take it apart to clean they would throw me out. :lol2:

I do plan on studing more for this test. I got the book and plan on taking it in 2-3 weeks.

TX----how long are you planning on studing?
