Countdown to LS2

Published

I am three days away from LS2, and I think I should. Everyone says know your mental health and well I got 60% of mental health right on practice test 1 and when I do my Saunders cd I get 70% right every time. I don't ever get questions regarding mental health medications. I don't know if I can do this. Help!!!

I should reschedule to Saturday, but the I am only giving myself three days total to refresh my memory on my LS3 and get prepared for retesting on it. What to do where to go from here ahhhh.

Well I won't be finishing before I leave now. I got a D due to my metabolic section. Know your different insulins by name and time periods and use. I was told by an advisor that I didn't need to know them and almost all my questions on metabolic were diabetic meds. I got 69, 69 and 91 on my areas then a 48 in one. I am requesti ng to retest earlier than the 90 days will work on my insulins while I do the next and come back to it. Hope that helps someone...

Sorry to hear that MsPC.

LS2 was tough test but now you know what area you need to focus on to pass next time. After LS2 how many exams do you have left?

I have the other two LS exams left, but I'm soo close to passing it I kind of want to wait two weeks to find out if I am able to re-test early. I definitely am not a fan of these LS exams. They seem to be graded a bit different. I have actually found I got the same section grades as someone who got a B and that gave me an unsuccessful grade. I am getting frustrated, but I'm going to keep working until I leave.

I read a post on the EPN from a faculty member stating to just know which were short or long acting.... guess that wasn't right!! Keep going at it- you'll do it!!

I saw that on the EPN too!! And it was just from like a month ago! But I know on my Form A exam, I had a question about peakless insulin by brand name, so I didn't think much of it when I read that post. Maybe she meant Humalog vs Novolog, Humulin vs Novolin, etc since those are kinda interchangable?

I'm looking at my insulin chart right now, but it's so hard to study when Sesame Street is on.
