LS2 Really that Hard???

i am currently studying for ls1, what did you use to study... i read couple post that ls1 is hard... glad to hear it wasn't for you.

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.

Congrats!!! I am taking Ls2 last, in the beginning of February. So let me know how bad it is.

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

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???

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

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 .

How much are the videos? I am still debating on the studygroup101....

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.

this is just my opinion. i really felt like i studied all these minute details in anticipation of this exam being very diffilcult, but it was actually not difficult. my questions were very broad. not very specific at all. i really tried to study the abg readings, heart rhythyms, etc. and i didnt need it. not to say you won't.

i used the recommended textbooks (older editions) and the sg101 notes. mainly the textbooks and ec outline. i also used an nclex practice book to test myself as well.

also, if everyone is not aware- on ec website in the blackboard area there are forums in there like this one. but, they are ec forums and the ec faculty answer questions, post comments, have chats about the exams, etc. they help too.

good luck!
