Did anyone get their marks for sept 2019 early window? How did you find the exam? Did you pass or fail? What material is best. Everyone said to study cpnre editions but I found the questions on cpnre editions are easier than the actual exam.

I’m almost at the point where I feel as if I should start studying all over again because yes I’ve felt like I’ve failed tests before and ended up passing but this is so different. I’ve counted a solid 40 that I’m almost positive are wrong. The wait is going to give me a stress ulcer I swear.
Hi,
Is English your first language?
Would the test be also challenging to those who use English as the first language? To me, it is the second language.

Hi, yes english is my first language. I’m unsure what your first language is but if it is French I believe they have a French option as well. The exam was challenging to me as a whole because of the content and second guessing myself.

Think my post got deleted but I was saying that I def feel the exact same way. You summed up how I feel tbh. I was confident going in because I had studied the CPNRE edition thinking it was similar but I under estimated the test. I too feel I have at least 40 wrong and am a good student but I feel that I failed. And i just want the answers so that I can get this feeling with over. I actually already started to study from the beginning again sadly.

Exactly. I paid $600 for a course that guarantees your success and I felt so confident going in, I finally understood diseases I never understood before... I felt great. Then this exam hit me like a train and I got overwhelmed and started making dumb mistakes, and it also didn’t help there were a few topics that I was unfamiliar with. I wish we knew what the passing mark was.

I can imagine that. We all expect that we answered correctly, but then, it gets frustrating to know that we answered the questions wrong about that we were aware of.

To me even if I was to pass , I don’t understand why it’s tricky... it’s not even really knowledge based where you are understanding disease it’s more addressing and interventions etc which I believe you learn as you practice. I get it, we abide by doing no harm to the patient so abc things like that we should know but when you have a mental illness question and all the answers are right on how you address the patient but one is more correct ..I don’t understand these type of questions because again we learn in the field we choose just like maternity questions. ??♀️.sorry to ramble.

Ye it’s almost as if the exams aren’t even about knowing all disease but the most important ones and even that it’s not direct questions about disease.

Yes very true. I’m disappointed in a sense because during a theory class there was a topic that we were told we did not need to be familiar with and it should not be a focus and probably not on the exam... there was 4 questions on the exam on that topic. There was also a topic that we were just simply not taught at all, never once was mentioned, and there was 2 questions on the exam. I’m really hoping some how some way I passed but 40 questions that I believe to have gotten wrong and that’s only from what I can remember...’I’m sure there’s more ?

I totally understand your feeling. Feeling the same way. I guess some material we should have just happen to read at one point during our semester. Praying for the best outcome For us.

I’m praying for the best outcome for us too because I seriously do not want to go through this all again. These next few weeks are going to be rough waiting.
Just now, Shay2019 said:Agree! All I do is google what I remember and try to find information on how to prepare for it. ?
Exactly what I’ve been doing! Ive remembered a good portion of the questions and read through my books and google to compare. That’s what scares me... if I did get those 40 wrong I seriously cannot get another one wrong and there’s definitely some questions I’m forgetting to add into that equation.
