I passed excelsior college transitions

Published

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.

Did you only use the practice exam and sudyguide101 for this?

I am planning on taking this exam before enrolling with Excelsior to see if I like the format. I have my fundamentals book from my LPN program will this be enough to get me through the exam or do I need to by the book from Excelsior?

Thanks for any input

I have used study group 101 for 3 out of 4 exams and have passed them all except for the very first one health and safety which I did not study for at all and I got what I deserved; a big fat "D". I think any study materials you can get your hands on will help, the only thing is that studying in clusters doesn't really work for me, I have to really just stick to one thing. The most important thing is to remember to go by EC content study guide as your guide on areas to study to pass the exam.

Sometimes failures aren't true failures if you learn to succeed from them. Good Job.
