Crudler, Exam was not too bad. Know the meds, alot of material to review. The practice tests... as I always say... are very helpful!

Took the second practice test, got a 67%. Hoping to do better. Anyone willing to share your scores and then how you did on the actual test?
I've done worse on some previous tests practice then got a B on the actual test, but this one has me worried!!
Crudler, you recently posted on the same topic, hoping to see if anyone will compare practice scores to actual scores!!
My exam is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, so I have a little bit of time to pull it together
thanks!

K3104, you are a bit beyond this now but I just did a quick search as I just got a 61% on my 2nd practice exam for LS2 today so I bumped my test over from Fri to Sat. Did you feel the practice exams were comparable in difficulty to the regular exams for LS2? I thought test A was easy and B was much more difficult, and I am beyond frustrated, lol! I have been living LS2 for the last 2 weeks, and started this exam over 6 weeks ago! I had terms popping up that I have not seen before, and I read EVERYTHING plus Saunders.

I felt LS2 didn't have random terminology that I had never seen before, but LS3 did. It wasn't too bad despite my little diabetes debacle. I got a score around your second practice test score and got a B. I feel I would have easily passed had I actually studied my diabetes meds more instead of listening to what the faculty posted on the EPN. However others have stated they had lots of diet questions so it really depends. Hopefully you will get a more diverse test so that you won't fall below passing.

I wound up getting a B on LS2. Lifespan 1 and 3 I think I got about the same scores and got an A on those exams. I recently posted to someone on their 3rd (and last?) attempt who got low 60's if I remember the post. I have seem a few people post here getting 60's on the practice exams then getting a D on the exam. If this was my last attempt before having to exit the program, I would really recommend getting in the 70's on the practice exams. Study those practice exams, know rationales, and study again the material I tested poorly on the practice exam. Well, that's my 2cents. :twocents: LOL.

My experience has been 60's, C or a B on the actual exam. Mid to high 70's, I got an A on the actual exam. The practice Q helped and were similar questions on the actual exam. I did not find any definitions, theories, etc., that were unexpected it all followed the study guide.

Good luck!!

Thanks K. I have usually scored in the 70s on my practice exams, and like LS1, I would get an A. I scored 65 in Repo I believe, and I got a B on that one. This practice exam had me baffled because I felt I knew my stuff pretty well. I have yet to review all my questions--needed to take a break tonight, lol! Thanks for your help!

MsPc- it seems like every patient has sodium issues and I am seeing pts with Cushing's and Addison's in my sleep! :uhoh3:

Hey everybody. Usually I score a 65 on both A and B, for some reason on the actual exam It varies between an A and a B.... Health Differences - A, Reproductive A, Chronicity B, Transitions to RN B, Lifespan 1 A. For some reason I do better on the actual exams. I usually study all the rationales, right or wrong from both tests. Then make a list of main topics that appear on both and restudy that from Saunders. Also do Saunders practice questions cause those are similar to the ones that appear on the actual tests. I am taking LS2 this Thursday and then LS3 on the 25TH so I can register to the FCAA on the 29th to do it online with the new format. Any other hints on LS2 would be appreciated!, Is it easier than LS1? I found LS1 to be the hardest one out of all the exams I took, I am not a cardiac/respiratory person I guess. Good luck to everyone out there. Oh and I also use flashcard exchange to print out flashcards.
