Ok so quick sum up i want to take my next exam in 3 weeks and don't know which exam to choose. I will be taking my health safety exam on Tuesday and want to finish another exam before Christmas. Sooo i was wondering what exam would be easiest. I understand everyone has more skills on certain topics but I would like everyone feedback if possible. I am a paramedic w 6 years of experience in Fire/Rescue and 4 years ER. thank you!
Excelsior Exams: 1-10 10 being the hardest :) just like a pain scale!

For me they were all about a 6. Except lifespan 3. I failed it and had to retest but passed the next! So I'll give that one a 9. Good luck! Did you use the practice exams?
Yes i did use the practice exams for all the tests i have taken. I think they are worth every penny up till now. I scored a 89 on test B and a 78 on test A. feelin confident!

Hi,
I will rank the exams from least favorite/hardest to easiest... now, of course, this is all subjective and others may have a different experience.
8. Transition. I just didn't enjoy this one. Grade - B
7. Life Span 3. Pretty difficult. Grade - B
6. Health Differences. Also difficult. Grade - B
5. Life Span 2. Somewhat difficult. Grade - A
4, 3, 2 Repro, Chronicity, Health Differences. All about equal. Grade - A on all
1. Life Span 1. My favorite and easiest. Grade - A
Good luck to you!
Thank you so much i truly appreciate it. I do understand that this is subjective due to people have certain strengths in certain areas. But w multiple people sharing there ideas i can come up w an assumption on which may be "easiest".
As a Medic, like me, you may find LS1 the 'easiest', since it is 1/3 cardiac and 1/3 respiratory. The other 1/3 is abnormal cell growth. GOOD LUCK in whatever you take next!
