Can't pass final course exam

Published

HELP! I am taking NR661 at Chamberlain College of Nursing for the second time. I was not successful in either attempt to pass the APEA final exam so I failed the course. I received a 69% on my second attempt at the final exam the first time I took the course and we must score a 70% or better.

I have watched all of Hollier's videos, (three times), and taken every practice exam I can from the Q-bank. I initially did poorly on these practice exams but I am now scoring over 70% in each subject.

I just took my 2nd, first attempt and only scored 63%!! Even if I go to the live review before my certification, if I cant pass the class I cannot sit for the certification exam.

I find the questions on the "real exam" are NOTHING like the questions in the q-bank so all those hours spent on those practice exams do not help you a bit!! I have taken three of the "real exams" now and they were ALL completely different as far as subject matter and out of 450 questions I might have seen 10 questions I recognized from the Qbank.

This is just wrong! Any advise from anyone on how to pass that exam?? I am not worried about the certification exam...I will deal with that and confident I can pass it even if it takes a couple of attempts. But I MUST pass the APEA exam to graduate!

I am also worried about this. I have failed the first attempt in my second class. I am not sure what can help. I have researched for days on any study review that will help but I am just drained and confused. I am unsure about testing at the review. Not sure if it will help or just make my anxiety worse. I wish I knew the plans for retaking the test at the Q center to help me decide but I can't get any answers on why they are offering this new option. I wish I could help you more.

Hi,

I was wondering if you found any strategies for the test? I take the course in January and I'm a bit nervous. Also, where do we take the test? I have been practicing questions in the Qbank and even paid for predictor exams but I don't think I"m ready yet. Any advice would be appreciated?
