Excelsior transition.

Published

The transition was my first nursing test to take and failed. I have since went on and past the other three classes first try, however it's time to retake transition again. The class is so dry that I'm having trouble studying it. I have thoughts of just quitting the program over this test Bc I don't think I can pass it. Does anyone have any pointers on this class. I have the practice tests and study guide 101 material. Thanks guys.

If that was your very first EC nursing exam, then you should pass this time around since you've gone on to pass the other three. You know what to expect in how EC words the exam questions.

I passed it my first attempt because it was the fourth exam that I took. My first exam was health safety. I barely studied for it, and I barely passed it. The format caused me to regroup, develop a serious study plan, and then, I was able to zip right on through the remaining exams in record time.

One thing I did, which I didn't have to use, was to take out my Exam Content Guide immediately after each exam (while still in Pearson Vue's parking lot), and highlight what I remember seeing on the exam because I never knew if I'd need it before graduation. But it helped with the nclex and it would definitely help to prepare you should you have to repeat an exam in the future.

Good luck on your second attempt!
