Does anyone actually pass this exam the first time around?! I'm reading through old EPN posts and SO many are from people that failed! I'm hoping it's because those are the only people that are posting. I'm taking this exam tomorrow and I feel ok about the material, but I can't help but think I'm missing something!!

I did, back when it was NC5. Got an A on it, too. I was so nervous before this exam because of the reputation, but that A taught me to make each experience my own. :) Good luck!

Thanks Lisa! The content doesn't seem too bad, but I also had to take health differences which LPN's get to skip and there was a huge amnt of regulatory/metabolic info on that exam so some of this is pretty fresh for me. I think I've studied the most for this exam and I still feel nervous about it!!

I did pass it last Friday with a C. I am so glad is over!!!!! Just take your time to read the questions , most of the time in my opinion you get 2 close or compatible answers to the question and you don't know which one is the correct just take a nice deep breath review the systems in your mind and find which answer will suit well the question. Good luck to you.

P.S. English is my third language:) Racha....

Yeah, I had to take health differences too, when it was NC2 -- I entered the program as a paramedic, so I didn't get to skip anything either.

Have you taken the EC practice exams?

Racha- great job!! very inspiring that you can do this in your 3rd language!

Lisa- yup, took both forms and got 67's on both!! Thought I did so much better on form B. But I studied the rationales and feel ok with them. On LS1 I only got in the low 60's on the practice exams and got an A on the real exam so I hope it's enough. I'll find out soon enough!!

Well I did it, I passed the first time around!!!! :D That was by far the hardest test, I swore I had failed when I was leaving the room. Got a "B" but I definitely worked harder for that B then any of the "A"s I've gotten!!

On to LS3 and Chronicity... can't believe I only have 2 exams left!!!
