Excelsior Nursing Exam Re-Take?

Published

Hello,

I was curios if anyone has ever had to re-take an excelsior exam? If so were the questions on the test exactly the same as the test you took before but in a different order. The reason I ask is becuase I re-tested recently and I think I got the same exact test. I did really well and made and A but, I'm worried I might have to take it over again because of a possible mistake. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

thank you! i've been meaning to ask this question here because i have to retake an exam but thought hey it does not matter to me anyway because i am reading from the recommended book now so i should know the stuff.

I took LS 1 over again. I scored an "A" but, I'm worried that they may try and may me take it again because the content seemed exactly the same.

Achilleas,

What material did you use to study for the exam the first time around?

When I first started thinking about Excelsior I came across I study smart. I bought the books they recommened. After I figured out they weren't for me I still had the text books. So I used a med surg book that I had gotten and a peds book. The second time around I went ahead and broke down and bought all the required reading excelsior had on the test outline. So I read all the required reading and then i went through a Saunders NCLEX study guide book and answered all the questions on the disk. Then I also read Lisa Arends disk. She actually had a lot of info on it. Especially if you look at the final review she seemed to hit just about everything in just four pages. Granted you have to have an understanding of the material see that she is hitting everything. I also did the practice exams from excelsior. Form A I scored a 46 and Form B a 64 after going back over it I think I should have made a 76 but, I was rushing and didn't have my full attention on the quiz.
