Across Life Span 2/NC5

Hello all...

Sort of venting and sharing my experience. eek

I took my Across Life Span/NC5 exam yesterday and failed. :banghead: I have passed 8 tests so far and wasn't happy failing this one (who would be). Ya, it's a bump in the road but I have already come up with a plan to get me back on track. I would love to be done by December so I can be CPNE eligible.

I looked at the percentages of each section on the Excelsior content outline. I saw that 40% was for Behavioral Responses and that was where I focused the most...didn't think much of Cognitive assessment because it's only 10%. I did study regulatory pretty good but then since metabolic was the last section I only skimmed it because my test was nearing. Well, my lower scores was Cognitive and metabolic...don't be fooled by the percentages like me...

Good luck to all...

Poly, thanks, but please don't share questions with us. We actually take the academic honesty thingie pretty seriously.

My tip would be just know everything you're supposed to know and forget the percentages. I never paid attention to them.

Better luck the next time.

Just an FYI.....Remember that even though a specific section of the exam may be only (for example) 25%. This means that only 25% of the total questions are based on this section, BUT you must receive a 70% or better on each section to pass the overall exam. Which means you have less room for error on those sections of the exam that are of lower percentages.
