Life Span 1 - Testing on the 17th

Published

Hello,

So I'm scheduled to take LS1 on the 17th of this month. I'm looking for all of the extra advice I can get. I took both forms of the practice exams and received a 50% and a 61%. In the past for Transistions and Reproductive I didn't do so well on the practice exams either but passed both of the actual exams with a 'C' and a 'B' respectively. All I want is to be successful with this exam as well. The Life Span exams are the last 3 I have left before the FCCA and CPNE. I feel pretty confident in my studies so far. Did all of the recommended readings and studied off of the free exam content guide. And I am continuously reviewing my practice exams. Just wondering how people were successful with this exam. Thanks in advance!

I took both practice exams and got a 76 and a 70. Im soooo ready to get this one over. But then have LS2 and 3 looking at me.

techie, how'd the exam go today?!?! Any pointers?!

I took the exam this afternoon. Whew! My body feels as if I was in a fight from the stress! I passed. Thankk God for doing well on respiration, I scored the highest in respiration. As others have said, study the meds for all three sections; study the practice exams.

Good luck on it.

Should i be focusing on specific meds or med classifciations (calcium channel blockers ect?)

I don't remember having too many med questions....but the ones that i did have were more specific than just the classifications.

Tasha,

Planning on taking this exam in 12 days:eek:, do you remember what meds I need to study exactly. As well as anything else important you studied...

I don't have the book, however I am studying MyStudyGroup101 and Flashcard Exchange.

Thanks in advance!

Mary, there are many questions that can be on your test. Just because they were on Tasha's exam does not mean they are going to be on your exam. For LS1 if you haven't taken any other of the LS exams you need to be sure you are comfortable with critical thinking nlcex type questions. If you haven't, I recommend the practice exams.
