I am scheduled to take the Excelsior College A&P exam tomorrow. I have heard that the practice exams are difficult in comparison, i.e. people scored lower on the practice tests but still passed the exam. I also heard a report that someone got a 77 on the actual exam, and this was an A, i.e., that the test is not conventionally designed to yield the typical percent correct scores normally associated with an A.
Since I received a 72 and a 77 on the practice exam, according to these reports, I should be fine (I need a B), but I am still NERVOUS/TERRIFIED. Could anyone please share their scores and grades on the practice and actual test so I have an idea what to expect?
Thanks!

I moved your post to the Excelsior College forum (https://allnurses.com/excelsior-college-online/).
I received similar scores on the EC practice exams and got a B on the actual exam. Just study those practice exams, the rationales for the correct and incorrect answers are very helpful. Good luck!!

I got a 62 and 78 and received an A on the exam. Given your scores I would expect Atlease a B. Best of luck and try not to let anxiousness get on the way.
