Failed twice! CMSRN Certification Exam!

Published

I need help! I don't know what to do now. I took the CMSRN Certification Exam today on my 2nd attempt and still I did not pass. I used the CMSRN practice questions book and 75 practice questions online recommended by AMSN. I don't know what to do now. I felt so devastated right now. ?

It just means that you didn't study enough. that's all.

Take a good webinar online. You have access to the videos for about 3 months. You can review every lecture as many times as you need. I did it 3 time per each lecture. And since it is a webinar, you have an access to the instructors, so you can clarify any information and any question. Plus they will explain how to pass the test, what to expect and how to study. It was very helpful.

Next, buy a book or CD with as many questions as you can. And practice. Practice every day. Start with 20 questions and increase them to 100. Do it for a few weeks prior to the exam-- it will help you to concentrate and not to get easily tired during the exam.

If you do these two things -- I guarantee, you will pass the test.

Good luck.

God won't give you more than you can handle...

I feel your pain, I just took my CMSRN exam a few days ago and also failed twice. ?

But it's OK, we get back up and try again. Don't be discouraged and don't give up. I know this post was last year but I'm curious to know if you retook it again. I know I am.

I am devastated.....I have failed my AANP adult-gero twice.  PLEASE help.  I'm not sure where to go from here.  I'm just exhausted, and trying to pick up the pieces to move on.  I just joined this group and hope to get some support and help.  Thank you in advance.

I also failed my CMSRN, I just recently took it few days ago, I had the score 91 and I needed 95 to pass. I thought the test was decent but I was only able to study on/off for 2-3 weeks due to having full time job and 2 toddlers. I am planning to retake it again. I actually used Lippincott and I bought the CSMRN 150 questions. Do you guys have any suggestion how to study for it. I am debating if I should purchase the webinar from CMSRN, I think it was 169$ for member. Any feedbacks if its worth purchasing it.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience, but, in my opinion, 2-3 weeks is a very short time for getting ready for this exam or for any exam.

Purchasing the webinar is a great idea. That what I am going to do too. That what I did when I was getting ready for my PCCN and it was very helpful. 

The second time will be better for you. 

Good luck.
