Just wish me luck and pray for me. I should have had this done a month ago, but had a delay due to my MIL stroke back in April. Just couldn't focus wanted to be there for my hubby!

Anyhow after this test if I pass I will be CPNE eligible!

The only things I will have left are Info Lit, English and Humanities.

Will do those while waiting for CPNE date.

Thanks for thinking of me!

I passed!!! Made an "A"!!!!!!! I used College Network and Rue...I like to check them all out to cross reference!

Also I highly recommend a book by REA called Super Review Microbiology.

Only $9.95 and worth every penny!!!!

I have my micro books on eBay look for lpn_to_rn

To answer the last question first, at the Prometric site where I take the exam you get your grade immediatley. ( I believe it is the same everywhere) Once you complete and submit the exam it is graded. Just wait a few minutes and it will display your grade. You also get a printed and notarized certificate with your grade.

Foolishly, Microbi was the first course and exam I took when starting the Excelsior program. I almost fainted when I got an 'A". After that course everything else seemed a lot easier...except A&P, which I am doing now. It has taken me forever and my practice exams are dismal. So what the heck am I doing here? I should be hitting the books!!!! :bluecry1: By the way, make sure you know the Kreb's cycle, ATP production, aerobic and anaerobic respiration...all that boring dreary stuff. Good luck!

Thank you for the encouragement and tips. I am going to take a few of the exams myself and liked at those REA books/study guides. I used one for Human G&D CLEP and it was excellent. I figured the others might be good too.

CONGRATS ON YOUR A!!!! :woot:
