Hitting A Brick Wall With Exams

Published

Hi all, I have the three Lifespan Exams left before FCAA and CPNE. The information on the test seems so overwhelming to me. I tips on how to prepare for these exams. I am sooo nervous. Is there anyone out there that can give me a little hope or strategies?

Today was the day that I took Lifespan 1 and failed. I have to repeat this exam. I could say i'm bombed out about, but the truth of the matter i'm not. I got in my car and began to study the material over. When am I able to retake this exam? I must say that the study group 101 had good info for this test. Anyone has tips maybe. I scored higher on respiratory and cellular growth than cardiac. Also, when I looked over notes for lifespan 3 I thought I should have been studying that material for Lifespan 1. I will be an RN and this one test want stop or discourage me from reaching my goal.

I know how you feel, last thursday I took Lifespan 3 and got a D!!! But I felt the same as you I will not stop and when I looked at the percentages I was so close - I can do this and I will not stop!!!! They posted on my EC page that I can retake in 60 days so I am going to study for Lifespan 2 take and pass it (how's that for positive thinking) and then retake 3 and pass it then done!!!! We can do this and we can't give up!!!!

Not sure I would contact Excelsior and ask. I am going to concentrate on Lifespan 2 then go back to 3 so gonna take my time and really know my stuff which will probably take 60 days to do both. Good Luck!!
