Excelsior College Help

[deb11]

I am just starting Excelsior College and I really could use some help on how to begin and what to study and what exams I need to take with what content is involved with each exam.

I'm confused again... This is the first I've heard about the ATT. How does this work? If someone doesn't mind, walk me through the first few steps. Let's say you have already applied and taken pre-reqs and you're ready to start taking nursing classes. Do you just register for your first class, study, when ready schedule your exam, start the next class, etc? That's what I assumed you did, but I've read where several people have scheduled several exams at once. And, again, this is the first I've heard of the ATT. Do they send you one and it's good for all classes or do you get one per class? Thanks!

You do not need an ATT. You are in the computer system. You can register for more than one at a time, but there are time limits, and you won't find it a wise thing to do to take more than one test on the same day. And part of the registration is paying for the exam. If your credit card doesn't have the money on it for more than one exam, you can't register for more than one at the same time.

Sorry for the double post... didn't mean to send it again and I don't know how to delete it.

The ATT comes when you are graduated. You must request EC to sent it to your state BON. For the regular tests, just show up it a picture ID. No watch, no cell phone, no Bluetooth. I scheduled 2 tests for one day and the lady at Pearsons got mad at me. You can register for as many tests as you have money for, but it gets expensive. BTW, pay for and take the practice tests, they are worth their wt in gold!

Deb, they do send ATTs for the individual exams, not just for the NCLEX. I just ignored the exam ATTs when I realized I didn't really need them!

I guess I ignored them so well I forgot about them!lol Thanks for reminding me.
