I am going to take my OCN certification exam in late May. I've bought the Corp Cirriculum book and study guide which I am slowly working my way through.

I was just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions on how to prepare for the test in the most efficient manner.

Also, any comments on the test content concentration and difficulty would be appreciated.

THanks

I took the OCN exam about a year ago. I prepared the same way that you are....got a study guide book and slowly went through it. The best advice I can give you is that it is very similar to the Boards. As long as you are a good test taker and know how to decipher questions, as well as have a solid background of knowledge in oncology, you will do absolutly fine. Overall, i didn't think the test was all that bad.

Are there any specific review books that you would suggest? Is there one book that is better than the other or are they all about the same???

Thanks!
