How many tests?

Published

Had anyone ever done three tests in month? I'm taking health differences on the 19th, then health safety, then thought about busting tail and doing another one by the end of the month. Don't know what one to do though.

I did my last three in a month, LS2, LS3 and Chronicity - LS3 and Chronicity was retakes for me though. Extremely hard and stressful but doable. I only work 2 days a week though so it was possible to study for hours a day until I tested.

I did NC4 (now LS1), Transitions, and NC5 (now LS2) all in the same month. That was a crazy September. :)

Health safety I've been studying a couple weeks or so, and it seems pretty basic. Health differences, I did my first practice exam and got a 60, not terribly worried about that, I know what to review and go from there. I'm just really really wanting to kick this school in gear before my BF comes home in september. If nothing else, just waiting for CPNE.

I am kind of thinking the same thing as you medic1282 because I took the practice test for health safety and got 77 and want to schedule soon soon soon! Good luck to you!~

I not only did the LS series in a month. I took LS2 and LS3 three days apart. I was ready to be done and I wanted my paper FCCA I accomplished both goals and got all B's on those last 3 exams, I am usually a C student. I used Studygroup 101 all the way among other things. Test while the info is fresh.Good luck

I take one exam amonth--I work full time and have 2 busy kids so I study daily, but only for about an hour. That worked out well for me, and never had to retake an exam..passed them all. Make sure you take the practice tests!!

That's where I'm at pretty much. I just want done with it. Things got put way on hold more than I wanted because of health issues, now I just want it over with. I may only get the two done this month. The days and times I can test, don't match with any of the testing centers very well.

Hi,

How did you study for the LS series, and take 3 tests in 1 month? How many hours/day did you study?

Thanks!

Specializes in ED.

I took LS 2 & 3 with 4 days of study each. I listened to vango notes whenever I could and then did the practice tests studying everything on them. Even things mentioned in the rationales. I also thought that LS2 helped for LS3. I had studygroup101 but didn't use it for LS3 at all. I was retesting though so my knowledge may have been a little from before. I also had bits of my own notes.

I can personally say that one exam I had for LS3 was all peds and the other was the polar opposite.
