Hi to all fellow aspiring nurses,
I took the CPNRE exam last June 24, 2017 and I find the exam very tricky and quite challenging.I got 85-95% on the predictor tests but still got stressed out during the exam.For those who did already, when did you take it and how did you find the exam?It's been two weeks already and I am soo anxious for the result.I hope we all pass.
Yes it was the one from ASI. I found the test questions a bit harder but the practice test was true to the form, style and layout of the actual one so all in all, well worth the money, for me anyway. I used the questions I got wrong as the basis of my list of topics to look up and review that day, and then just studied from my class notes the next day, and then wrote the exam. Still found the exam tricky but I don't think additional studying would have been of any benefit for me; I felt I was as prepared as I could be. Others may do better to study daily for a longer period of time before writing the exam, or by taking a prep course. I've always been a last minute crammer and it works very well for me, but I get that it's not the best way for most people, lol.
FYI: A friend just told me her cousin in Etobicoke (Toronto) received her letter today and passed! The letter was postmarked June 27th.
Has anyone else got their results? Please post here when you do so the rest of us can track the progress of the mail delivery across Ontario.
Good luck to all!

Sorry, I don't know anything about prep courses so can't advise you on them. I did the online practice test (you pay extra for it - I think it was around $78?) two days before the exam and reviewed my lab class and health and healing class notes the day before writing. I felt that was a good preparation for me, but of course everyone's studying needs are different. Good luck!
