Hi everyone! I will be taking my first Excelsior exam next week and I am nervous. I made a 77 and 78 on the Health Safety practice exams. Is that enough to pass? Are the exams harder or easier than the practice tests? Please help. I feel like I've studied everything but I'm thinking about re scheduling the test due too anxiety. I have to work this weekend and I have no more study time before the test. Thanks.

Hello,
I went to excelsior and only studied off the practice tests and I never past one of them. I recieved mostly A's and two B's,on my "real" tests, good luck to you:up::up:

You will do fine. I always got 60s & 70s on practice tests and As & Bs on the real tests.

i dont do well on my practice exams, but i pass with A's and B's. I'm testing for NC 6 and 7 on the 29th and 30th of the month. So i'm praying for everyone and myself :) if you scroll midway on the home page for excelsior, there will be a link for you to register for the practice exam, you just have to have the actual exam paid for first. again good luck and i hope this helps

I'm the same as everyone else. I do worse on the practice tests but have all A's and B's. It sounds like you know the material just fine. :)
Thank you everyone! I feel so much more confident now! I will be taking the test this afternoon. I'll let you know how I do.
stay calm, i'm sure you'll do fine! i can't wait to hear how you do! i got off work at 10 this morning (closed our department) and i have to go back at 2:30, so i'm studying in break...hoping they call me and tell me they have found someone else to work those last 4 hours...anyway, good luck! go gett'em champ!!
