How long did it take you to finish Info Lit as a ADN student?

Published

I start the class tomorrow and am wondering how long it takes? I have heard from many that it can be done in one sitting...??? It is the only class I need besides my ADN classes. Thanks!

angel! ugh! i made a d... can i tell you how disappointed i was! granted i think i should have studied more, but i think i am no longer going to use the larends and studygp101 notes and just buy the texts. what are you using? i have to say i do feel like a complete moron! and to make it worse- i have to wait 60 days to retake it! i think id rather 30 days or 2 weeks. (im in th pckg price plan- so i have one more chance to pass without repaying!) what a huge huge bummer!! but thank you for caring enough to ask!! i do appreciate it!!

Diana, you can request to retake it sooner -- just contact a nursing advisor at EC. Sorry about your grade! Good luck with your retake.

Sorry you didn't pass. I failed that test too. I only used Lisa Arends notes on that one and it wasn't enough. Do yourself a favor and buy the books. You will definetly pass next time. You could just move on to the next test and pick that one back up in 60 days. Thats what I did. Good luck next timw.

I took Info Lit through Penn Foster about $90 and it took me like 2 hours to finish...pretty easy...sorry about the D ....just keep going, start studying for the next test. That is what I did when I got a D in Essentials-Health Differences....I just passed that like 2 weeks ago with a C.. Just Keep GOING!!!

i'm sorry for the d diana. just get back on track & study for the next one. then comeback to transitions later. you are not a moron. you may feel like it but you are not. it may have been your nerves or how you studied. i don't just rely on sg101 and lisaarends. in fact i have not used lisa's yet. i read saunders nclex-rn comprehensive review and do nclex questions, then read sg101, then read the practice questions, then i read my lpn med-surge book (much better than the med-surge book they recommended). i usually just read and read and highlight stuff and not really write notes. it is working for me so far so i won't change my study style.

good luck diana and keep the spirit going even with this hurdle. you can do this! believe in yourself. i think confidence goes a long way because those nerves could mess you up easily when taking the exam. i have always been confident when i'm at pearson even though i don't know squat :D.

I was trying to find the Lit. Info. course on Penn Foster, but couldn't find it.

Does anyone have a link to it they could post?

Thanks!

I spread it out over 3 days. But I agree with others here - if you're willing to sit down and get it done in a day you could.

Info Lit at EC; less than 2 hours. I was up and down from my computer during that time, answer the phone, yell at the kids, take dog out for a poop, and it was still under 2 hours.
