Excelsior RN ADN program

I am currently enrolled in the LPN to RN program with Excelsior. I'm trying to reach out and see if anyone has any advice on the program. How to prepare for exams since I'm not sitting in the classroom and able to pick up on the subtle hints of what to focus on. The exam outlines are ALOT of information and the exams are 130 questions. Thanks in advance guys and gals.

    I had great success w/ purchasing the practice exams from Excelsior.

    I would complete the 1st practice exam at the beginning of my studying for each exam and complete the 2nd practice exam a couple of weeks before my scheduled exam at Pearson Vue. The 1st exam gave me a general idea of where I needed to focus my studying and the 2nd exam helped me to see how ready I was and if there were areas that I needed to review.

    I passed all my exams (at Pearson Vue) on the 1st attempt using this method. I was also one of the grandfathered in EMTs, I was not an LPN prior to earning my RN.

    Thanks for sharing. How did you afford everything, if you don't mind me asking. It's crazy expensive.

    Actually when I looked at my other options, Excelsior was affordable for me.

    It took me a while to complete my degree (6 years), but I worked both a full time and a part time job throughout. I took some classes online through my local community college (I verified they would transfer - the prereqs). I had a little bit of employer reimbursement. I saved up for each test and basically paid as I went. I bought books from amazon and looked for used. Excelsior also has payment plans for some things, I took advantage of that too.
