i took ls1 today..... got an a! only two more exams until fcca and cpne!!!!!

i have read a lot on here about how ls2 was a lot harder than the other exams. does anyone share this opinion or think that it was not too bad? i felt ls1 was going to be really hard because of all the material in the content outline. i was very stressed before the test. however, that test (to me) was very easy compared to all the study the outline has us do. also, the practice was a lot harder than the actual exam. or that is at least what i thought.

does anyone think ls2 is the same way.... or is it really that hard???

I thought LS1 wasn't bad. LS2 on the other hand was a nightmare. I was glad to get my C (first one Ive had). Taking LS3 on 2/1.

i have heard that ls1 is a little harder (someone just posted on epn that they didn't pass) but the content guide seems very straight foward so far. i am a little iffy on waveforms and how in depth we need to go. i really love the fact that there are only 3 sections in the content guide :D

congrats on the great grade for ls1! i have heard the ls series was difficult and ls2 seems to be the worst. i am on ls1 now, almost finished with the cardio portion. i am hoping to test first week of feb. may i ask how you prepared for the exam? did you use any of the extra study materials and how did you do on the practice exams? good luck on ls2 :yeah:

I agree LSI was not hard for me but I loved the cardio and respiratory. I am currently on LS2 and I am not into the mental health stuff at all (no offense) but it's 40% so I will have to start "loving it" . I am currently using the videos that Tasha recommended from rnbridgeprogram and I like it so far with studygroup101 , it cuts some of my studying. I am scheduled for the feb 5th . Good Luck .

The cost is $147/month but you can cancel anytime there is no contract. There are 15 videos per exam by Sheri Taylor.

That's interesting as I have sent cancellation emails as required three times and I have sent a help desk ticket and have gotten no response. They also proceeded to charge me for another month.

For LS3 I have found the videos are missing material and cover material that is unnecessary for the exam. They do help but not as a stand-alone study method by any means.

I would call the 1888 number, I called couple times and it's the same IT guy... he seems very nice just ask him to cancel it if you don't use it why pay for it.

I tried calling and didn't get anyone. I tried various buttons on the prompt. I will try again Monday.
