Hello,

Was wondering if anyone could give me some study advice on this test. What did you use to study?

Thanks :nurse:

I used "Microbiology Demystified" as well as the recommended text, plus the EC practice exams. Got an A. :)

Ditto Micro Demystified and I also downloaded Vangonotes for the recommended text from the audible website (first time user so I got for less than $10 I think). I would fall asleep listening to it at night and I listened to it in the car for about a week. Its a pretty easy listen. It goes over a review of the diseases and the a Q/A session. I passed Micro with a B - so something worked.

Vangonotes and Micro Demystified, also the EC practice exams, got an A also! It is an exam really more geared towards health care professionals/nursing I think, it wasn't as difficult and dry as I thought it would be, I actually thought it was interesting. Good luck! :-)

Ms. Lunah I must first start off be saying that I appreciate you so much for using your personal time to give back. I wonder if it possible to email you because I have many questions.

I read the book EC recommended, 5 editions older, it was as good as any Stephen King novel. I bought it off Half.com for $10 or something, I figured bugs can't change that much in a couple of years, two weeks reading and practice exams and got an A. Just a side comment, LunahRN when you going to post a pic of yourself in ACUs?

Good Luck

Steve
