I'm in the same situation you were in, it's very stressful and I'm taking my test again August 21st... I first used hurst but I didn't do the remediation I got a refund and I got kapplan now. I also bought exam cram by Pearson and that has a cd of 1500 questions. I'm desperate and I will try anything. Congratulations on passing you must feel like a huge weight is lifted off your shoulders:) I was wondering if you could post the link or copy and paste the review you said you found on here. I would love to see it.
thnks guys...this test is frustrating for sure bt jst do your part and dont give up...if i did it u can...

Congrats on passing! I agree the study guide on this website saved me as well... SPIDERMAN and MRSWEE and MTV were very much on my mind!! Luckily I didnt get many pediatric questions! I made sure to answer those questions right the first time around!! I also got 265 questions. 37 SATA and 8 Math Questions and 1 Prioritization question and 4 Picture Questions.
