I used the EC content guide and practice exams, sg101, quizlet and YouTube, and the textbooks. I studied no less than 2 weeks on all the exams. The life spans I added 1 more week because they are harder. I always registered for the exam, download the content guide, buy the practice exams, skim through the content guide and studygroup101 then take practice exam a. Then review your rationales and remember your weak areas, you'll want to concentrate more on them. Check out quizlet for flashcards and youtube for videos on your weak areas such as endocrine (my weak area!!) - psych was my strongest cause I guess crazy people facinate me :confused:. (I assigned a family member to each psych disorder so I'd remember them). Go through the study guide one section at a time and do some quizzes, if you are doing good, move on. Then go over the nursing diagnoses that are in the content guides, I think there were like 3 in each one and check the nursing interventions and be sure you know why you do each intervention. Then review the meds that are mentioned. When you make it through the whole content guide/study guide take practice exam b and review the rationales and go back over your weak areas. This was my routine and it worked for me!

Wow thank you so much! I'll definitely take your advice! I know you said you studied for 3 weeks for this one but about how many hours did you spend studying? Just trying to work it around my work schedule and life of course! Thanks again!!
