Any major areas that seemed to be heavily covered on the A&P exam. I don't want to violate the academic honesty policy of the school, so please, only information that we are allowed to share!

Thanks!

Did you review the exam content guide? It gives percentages for each area tested.

Also focus more on physiology stuff than on anatomy stuff, and use the practice exams for study!

I did review the content guide but it seems to be very broad. I think I'm over studying for this test. Does it seem to get a lot more involved than what is covered in LPN school? Of course I will still study for the test but was wondering if what I got in LPN will at least give me a good starting point

LPN is a starting point but most LPN programs are vocational. This is a college level exam so it's expected to be more indepth than an LPN overview

I recommend the EC practice exams, I thought they were helpful.

Here's my advice. You need to really learn and know the anatomy and physiology of the human body. You will definitely need it later on for the eight nursing theory courses. Learn it now and life will be easier later.
