A & P

[Irish Angel]

Beginning my first course A & P. I have had it before and just barely missed the cut off. A little nervous about it. Any pointers out there? What did you find most helpful, not helpful?

Are you taking the exam or doing the online course?

[Irish Angel]

Doing exam!

EC practice exams were helpful. Some people like notes from Studygroup101.com. There are great podcasts and videos on YouTube if you like audio or video - Google Gerald Cizadlo and Marian Diamond. I had the recommended A&P book (bought used, cheap cheap because someone spilled what I hope was Kool-aid on it, lol) for areas where I needed heavier review.

I could have studied forever, but I finally forced myself to pay for and schedule the exam, effectively giving myself a deadline. I highly recommend getting your exam scheduled at the start of your studies. Good luck!

Thank you, I was thinking I need to go ahead and schedule exam otherwise I will put it off. I did order the Studygroup101. I planned to buy one of the practice exams prior to study to see where I was on things and then another afterwards. Thank you for your info.

Just to clarify, the EC practice exams are purchased as a set - you get both, but can take them separately. :)

Hello Irish Angel,

I am also just begining A&P, the volume of information is so intimidating! I've had the books and study guides for two months and have not made much progress. Would you like to study together? I could use some motivation and encouragement. If so, my email is [email protected]. Good luck with your studies !

[Irish Angel]

Sure we can, the more the merrier right?! So as of right now I am obtaining study material so that I can study. I have seen where ppl talk about studygroup101 so I was thinking about starting there. I just bought the cd and got it today.

Okay, I have SG101 already...shoot me an email and hopefully we can come up with some sort of plan.
