i've been studying for a while now and am going to take my (excelsior) microbiology test monday (7/25). my plan was to take a practice test last night (sat) and brush up on what i needed to and take the other practice test tonight (sun). i saw that the excelsior web-page was going to be down for maintenance, but with the times it said it would be down it was still going to work out...but the web-site is still down!! i have yet to take a practice test and am kinda freaking out at this point.

can anyone give me some advice about this test? if you have any practice tests or sites that you could recommend that would be helpful please let me know. i have microbiology demystified and am answering those questions well...are those similar to the format of the test questions? any help would be very much appreciated!! thank you!! :nurse:

Have you studied anything besides Micro Demystified? Did you download the EC exam content guide? There are at least some practice questions in there so that you can get an idea of the format of EC questions, if you've never taken an exam with EC before. Is there any way you can reschedule your exam, or is it too late at this point?

I have studied the content guide...but it seemed like a foreign language until I read Microbiology Demystified ;) This is my first EC exam, my test is not until 4:30 tomorrow. I feel like I have studied to the point where I just want to get it over with, but would feel so much better if the website would come back up so I could take a practice test. Thanks for suggesting the content practice questions. I completed them a couple weeks ago, so I'll review those!!

Google flash card exchange and do a search for Excelsior Microbiology. there are flash crds on there, I really wish that you would of studied the practice exams until you knew them by heart, there are some questions on them that are word for word on the test. good luck
