I would like to address this post to past Excelsior grads.
Every person who considers Excelsior does the online research and, needless to say, reads all the horror stories. I have read probably around 50 of such stories, and only a couple seemed to be reasonable individuals with a legitimate complaint. Sad to say, many others seemed like they lacked motivation, prior education, formal practice, etc.
My request of you, please post your success stories and what you did in preparation for the CPNE (98% of complaints seem to be about this). Let's see some encouraging posts!
Thanks!

Regarding CPNE prep, most students find workshops give them an edge in first-time success. The CPNE is very basic stuff.
