This is the lesson plan i'm following in order to test by the week of Aug 17th. If anyone is taking it now or was thinking of taking it, and want to follow along, there are two of us doing this so far.

I'd like to do a study group/ instant messenger on Saturdays in order to go over the material learned that week. it would give us a good chance to quiz one another and everyone knows that you learn by teaching what you know as well! =)

Sounds like you got it all planned out, you should be testing in no time. I've got to test for A&P2 and Micro but I'm working on the concepts exams first.

Knocking A&P out the way now is a great way to get started Tasha!!!!:up:

I'll be taking A&P2 at my local college...I've already taken A&P1. I figure when I go for my bachelors I wouldn't want to have to retake the course considering I've already taken and dropped it twice. Micro I'll be taking through EC, I can probably afford to retake that one if needed. I'm glad I don't have that many gen eds to take, I love the nursing stuff a lot more.
