LS2 in the bag, LS3 in a couple weeks, and FCCA advice?

[PaParamedic]

Okay, Okay, not asking about fcca course details, just any advice on how to prepare(i.e. Read up on A&P, Pharm, etc?). Should I do both parts in one session?

Thx,

Hi PAParamedic... CONGRATULATIONS! I just did LS1, have LS2 & 3, also Transitions coming up. I too am looking ahead to the FCCA... when do you plan to take it? Nov/Dec? Or will you be able to do Sep/Oct? I will be watching this thread for helpful hints, although we probably won't get much...

I am a little uncertain also about FCCA... I guess we will find out!!

As a paramedic, let me share with you some good news about LS3, it has trauma in it. So figure I can read fast and hopefully get in Sept/Oct. Not sure, but can't work towards anything if you don't set goals.

FYI, just learned the Sept/Oct FCCA is a misnomer, the next session actually starts August 26th. I just lost a week to get my LS3 Exam Done. :/

Wish me luck for getting into "Sept/Oct" FCCA.

Luck! Re FCCA, yes we can't talk about it. EC recommends one at a time. Depending how much time you have, some do both at once. Even if you fail one and have to retake one you will be in the same boat time wise. You would have to pay again though, $165 i think. If you pass both you gain 2 months. That was my thinking, actually another guy's comment which makes sense, I'm in the midst of it.

Most or maybe all of the books are all already recommended ones you should have from other courses. I did ask an adviser a little early to make sure I had all the books.

Scheduled LS3 this coming week. Pass, and I can be done with FCCA this year, regardless if I do both parts at the same time or not. Feeling good about 2013.
