Hello there, I took EC transition exam after 10 days of studying and passed with a C. I cant say that I studied hard because I did not. I studied using study group 101 cd and of course EC practice exams. I took the first one of the practice exam after 2 days of studying and scored 60%. I took the second part of the practice exam a day before the actual and scored 55%. You all know I was already thinking that I was bound to fall but I shocked myself when I saw a C. The reason why am sharing my experience is to encourage people in my shoes to never doubt themselves. You are more intelligent than you think, just pay attention, read every questions twice or more for clarity. I an continuing and I plan on finishing all core nursing exams by October. Am taking chronicity next and I have health and safety to retake, will keep you all posted as I go. I hope chronicity ain't that bad to people who have taken it already.

CONGRATULATIONS!! Did you feel that the EC practice tests is worded like the real test. Do you feel it's mainly memorization? I'm using studygroup 101, ec practice tests, and Excelsior books. :yelclap:

Thanks

Thanks, I think you should pay careful attention to the practice tests because it really helps, go over questions missed and refer to the area on your study material. I think you should do both memorizing and understanding the question/answers. Study group 101 I's the only material am using plus the practice test of course. You can pm me if u have further questions. My email is [email protected].

hey on the exams do they put tricky questions or are they straight forward and you can use the process of elimination?

If you've ever taken the practice exams and also seen the questions on the back of each content guide, this is a typical example of what this exams look like.
