just thought i'd ask for a future reference!

Specializes in brain injury,.

once 75 questions. took me about 45 minutes too. I started the test with the following questions are practice. so I am going along and must have missed the part where it said your test is starting. I started freaking when I got to about 50 questions thinking oh no then when it shut off at 75 I was so worried but passed; thank the lord

ONCE!!

Get yourself a good review book,and review a little ea. day.

Usual focus of the test is patient teaching and prioritizing,but does depend on ea. person taking the test.
