D for Info Lit. Will Excelsior accept this grade?

Published

Hi

I earned a D for Info Lit. Very hard for me. Will Excelsior accept this or do I need a C? Penn Foster gave me the 1 credit. Thanks

Studying for Chronicity now and will test on June 3. Wanted to test earlier but had no other times. I have Repro, Ls 1 -3, Transitions and I think one other.

What do you have left?

Just retesting on LS2 and LS3. Then I'm FCCA/CPNE eligible.

I take it you found Ls 1 and 3 to be difficult? How about Repro? How long have you been working on the Excelsior program?

I studied the least for my repro exam. I found Ls3 to not follow the practice exams and content guide as much. It seemed to be designed for tricking the testers more so than the others. Ls2 was difficult, but not super hard. I just had a bit of bad luck, was told not to know diabetes meds and i had a ton of diabetes med questions. Though I passed on that information that there were meds to someone and they got a lot of diet questions. The algorithim that draws questions form the test bank seems to not be as stratified as it should be as people can get a large group of questions on one topic in a section instead of a sample of questions that spans multiple diseases in the section.

Thanks for the info. I think I will go with Repro after Chronicity, then Transitions and save the Life Spans for last. Are you currently working as an LPN. How long since you first began online nursing? I hope to be done in a year but who knows what will happen in a year.

mine are listed in my siggy the order/dates/grades of when i took them...retaking LS3 on May 10th, it wasn't what i expected when i first took it and my practice exams scores were super high for this one, and yet i got a D on the actual exam...i think it was 64 for A, and 72 for B and yet i didnt pass so i agree with the other poster about the practice exam not being as helpful as the other exams! =) good luck, i thought repro was pretty easy and chrono was a lot of info but not too bad either...the LS series were much harder mostly med-surg stuff!
