I completed the CT exam ~ 6 months ago. It didn't seem difficult, but you don't know which questions were missed. I didn't do that great, but I don't plan on retaking it. There is no good way to study for it.

EDIT - most of the questions were "what would you do in this situation". talking about issues in front of family, co-worker giving wrong meds, etc

As I understand it, you can only take it in the Testing Center. I clicked on Exam A in Blackboard from home but when you click on it, it loads a page saying Exam A but it's grayed out and you can't click on it to take it. Don't forget to print your testing slip before you head to the Testing Center!

Thanks, babysplash. I tried clicking the exam afterwards and is locked. So it has to be done at the testing center.

I still need to pass Dosage Calc and take the HESI, so I don't know yet. I believe I have 11.1 points for the CT exam though.

11.1 pts. Is not bad for the CT exam. Even though I hope to get 15 on the CT, I'm good enough with 10 or 11. But I do need to score well on the HESI!! What methods did you use to study for the HESI?

An 11.1 on the CT is a 74. I just started studying this week for the HESI, and will test on Sep 10. I'm using the 4th edition of the HESI A2 exam review book, Youtube, Quizlet, and a full version of the Pocket Prep app.

Sooo... my Hep B titer was negative. I began an accelerated procedure (twinrix) earlier this week and hope to receive a positive titer before the enrollment deadline. The process is lengthy, so if you haven't started yet, you need to.

How long ago did you recieve your Hep B doses?

I received my first shot on 8/28/18, my second is scheduled for 9/4/18, and my final shot is scheduled for 9/18/18. I'll test for a positive titer ~ 9/24/18.

Thats great! Hope your titer comes out positive. I'm scheduled for the titer test on Tuesday and I hope the antibody is present. It has has been years since I last recieved my three doses of HEP B. So I hope I recieve a positive test.

Hey guys, I'm confused about the dosage cal workshop. It says its not offering any courses this Fall at Dcccd. is the workshop a 1 day class and you test at the end? Can you guys tell me more about it? Thanks.
