Well, there are quite a few of us that didn't do so well on LS 2. I had to retake it, but passed on the second time around. As far as a pointer, all I can say it...don't let the exam intimidate you!!! Just because some of us failed it, DOES NOT mean you will!!! Study the content of the study guide and HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF!!!!

Good luck!!

I'm not sure what Health Differences 2 is.. I was under the old curriculum and NC 5 was a big scary one. It was hyped up so bad on the EPN and I kept postponing, postponing and postponing. It didn't necessarily lead me to 'more studying' just procrastinating and living in fear in general. By the time I took it, I was so over prepared, but was still shaking as I hit the submit button! It was a long wait to get my results which were an 'A'.

I don't think it matters what exam you're preparing for. Just put in some good, quality studying and prepare yourself! Sometimes you have to give things a shot and see how you do!

I'm taking this exam on Wed and I'm also nervous because of all the "hype". But I've decided this is just like any of the other exams, people fail them too. This material can get confusing and a lot of it is subjective so you need to really read the questions. I took the first practice exam after studying all the material and got a 67%. For me, this is pretty good and I'm hoping to really go through the areas I was weak in and just get the exam over with!! Good luck, hopefully we'll do fine :)

Good luck! I'm sure you'll do great! I think for NC 5, I only got low 60's on the practice exams. I never found any correlation between those things and the real exam other than it was nice to get used to the way Excelsior words things.
