Health Safety

Published

OK, I'm not really superstitious so I don't know why I didn't post anything before this. I scheduled the Health Safety exam last week and also scheduled the practice tests. I took part A on Wednesday and got a 77%, I took part B on Thursday and got a 75% so I felt I was ready...I took the ACTUAL exam today, Well... I got an A..........OOOOH RAHHHHHH. For anyone that has any self doubts or needs validation that they studied the right material, I will say the practice tests were definately worth it. I know I'm not saying anything that most posters here don't already know but it's good for newbies to here it over and over until they get it. Thank you to all the experienced posters for sound advice.

Congratulations and I completely agree. Practice tests really help with this one. For anyone about to take h/s you need to make sure you know the difference between subjective and objective findings in an assessment. There were at least 6 questions on my test directly related to that alone

I'm a bit nervous. I have taken both practice exams for Hs and scored 63 and 62. I'm taking it in one week.

I didn't set the world on fire with the practice exams either....just study all of them and you will do fine, seriously. I consider myself the "If I can do it then you certainly can" type, LOL. I spent about 16 hours or so over a week studying and passed pretty easily. You will do fine.

I'm not sure about your health care background so I can't tell you how well you will do, the only thing I can say is that since i started this thread on 3/25/11 I have taken Transitions and only got a 74 and 67 on the practice tests and I got a B on the exam. I have also taken Health Differences and I got a 69 and then an 80 on the practice tests and got an A on the actual exam. If you are scoring in the 60s you should be fine. Good luck and keep us posted.
