Excelsior... Health Diff. 2 aka, NC 5

[Lisa1980]

I am absolutely frustrated with Life Span Health Diff. 2!

I need some advice! HELP!

I have been studying for three weeks and only made a 42% and 55% on the practice exams! I can't seem to comprehend any of this material. I am very overwhelmed.

Do you think it's a good idea to put this one down and move on to Health Diff. 3?

These are my last two with the exception of FCCA and CPNE.

I have done flashcards, I have purchased the recommended books, took my own notes and I still cant obtain this much information! :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I passed all of the NC's with only Lisa Arends study disc (On E-Bay about $12 each) and the Excelsior study tests...I did give myself ample time to study..about 2 months each but I work full time single mom etc etc.. If you know everything on Lisa's disc you WILL pass...Good Luck..I am waiting for A CPNE test date!!!!!

I keep putting this off and changing test dates. I am SO scared to take it again. This is my last shot and I have put so much into this. I just got Lisa's study notes. Just SO much to remember and SO many common traits of these diseases. I want to be a RN...not a MD.:/ Good luck everyone.

good luck! i know the feeling. you paid for the practice exams, right?

I took both of them before I took the test last time. I passed both of those and knew the answers inside and out. I don't know what happened. I ended up with a "D". That is the first and hopefully the last "D" I ever get. I just don't seem to be able to differentiate these disease processes sometimes. I am so frustrated!

I am so glad I'm not the only one having trouble with this one! I have only Lifespan 2 and 3 left and have passed all of my other exams with out any trouble. I left the testing site in tears! Just ordered Lisa's CD on ebay, hope it helps!

[Robin L]

I already took Life span 3 and passed it. This 2 is a killer. I also left in tears. I thought I had an "A" when I finished. I thought I really knew the material. I could find the answer that I thought of without having to go through the answers. But I don't know what happened. I got a "D". Now I'm just scared to do it again.

Good luck. Where are you from? I am in NC.

I am currently studying for HDLS1, just wandering if Lisa Arends cds are the same as studygroup101 cds? Any advice will help. Good luck to everyone going through this program!!!!!!!!! I only have the HDLS series. I have passed all other tests.

I have the studygroup101 cd. Havent used it yet. Im also using TCN modules. Will you let me know how you do on the test? I can use all the help I can get. Im planning on buying the practice exams. They have helped me with the others.

[rogarci3]

I just ordered the study group 101 cd even though I already ordered Lisa A's. I'm almost thinking of skipping the 2 for now and just doing 3 for now, scared to take 2 again. Got an email that you are only allowed 1 retake now on the nursing theory exams. How much would that suck to get this close and then not get to finish!
