CPNRE2019

Published

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.

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.

Where did you write?

Ya the wait is excruciating. I’m 3 weeks tomorrow and am not sure how I’ll survive another week or more ?

Sorry where I wrote was Windsor, ontario

Important lessons I learned through the test.

1. A course wouldn't be that helpful as it doesn't teach you the contents that actual exam has. Honestly, I found it only 20 percent helpful. Not worth the money at all.

2. The textbook has lots of contents, but still, the questions are much more in-depth and require critical thinking and application.

3. Make your own style of learning and put your best effort to comprehend the questions.

Yes I definitely agree. I didn’t just use the prep course I also used textbooks and notes from classes, did online quizzes, etc. I used all different learning styles also. The problem for me is I always over think a question and I second guess myself, plus add the fact there were a few topics i’ve never heard of on this exam did not help the situation.

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.

It’s been 3 weeks for you, omg. How are you coping up with the anxiety? It’s been only 1 week for me and I keep checking on my answers ?? So far, working in the hospital is helping me get over the exam.
