I only have 2 pre-reqs that I need to take before I can start the nursing exams. Would you recommend ANP or Micro first?? Will one help with the other? I know most colleges require ANP prior to Micro. Any advise and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This will be my first exam with EC and I'm a bit nervous for the first one!

I took a and p at a traditional school however I did take micro through EC. I thought I had failed for sure but passed with a B. I used the practice exams, recommended text, and the book microbiology demystified. I spent about a Month preparing for it.

I took micro first and felt that it helped me with a&p...I had never taking micro before and made a B...for some reason I thought Micro was easier than A&P..but I made a B on it too..practice exams in my opinion are a must...I'm studying for transitions now..I'll take it on the 30th..best of luck to ya

Thanks for the tips guys. It seems to be a common theme that one thinks they failed and did well on these exams. I hope to feel the same ... well, not that I "want" to feel like I failed, but hope that I do as well as everyone else seems to be doing. I'm very excited for the opportunity to get these exams taken. I'd like to have everything done in 2 years, but not sure how long to study for each exam. I'm trying to devise a plan, but will have to get an exam or two under my belt first. The Transitions exam doesn't seem like it will be too bad, just a boring read. I welcome any and all tips, tricks, and suggestions to studying. I'm am really excited for this program!!
