Micro Finished onto Health Differences!

[CRisk3]

I was sweating the Micro exam pretty hard since it was a ton of information. I took practice exam 1 and scored a 48 when I was about half way through the SG101 study guide. I finished studying and went straight for the exam. Sweating bullets, I was able to pull out an "A" on the exam! I really felt I had bombed the test!

Now it's onto Essentials of Nursing:Health Differences. I'm in the Nutrition section and the material seems pretty light after Micro....is there something I'm missing? What should I focus on to study for this exam?

Any tips are always appreciated! Oh, and GOOD LUCK to all wrestling with Micro! I know your pain. You can DO IT!

I started Excelsior a long time ago, so I was able to take my nursing exams and then Micro. The nursing exams are easier than the A&P and the Micro exams.

Congrats on beating the beast called Micro! I am gearing up for my exam soon. Can you share any insight on what to focus on?

I am also trying to get ready for the micro exam. I have taken both practice exams with a 32 then a 49. I have read, re-read, highlighted the Study 101 notes, and also listened to vangonotes. I just don't want to have to take the 8 week on-line course for 1275. Any tips on what to expect on the test without breaking any rules would be greatly appreciated.

I actually took the exam about 2 weeks ago and just now got around to making my post. I wish I remembered specifics to help you out but the exam was all over the place. I honestly thought I was going to get handed a failing grade when the proctor gave me my results page with an A on it. I almost fell over! If you've studied hard it's definetly do-able. The biggest help I could give you would be to read the questions extra carefully and eliminate your "throw-out" answers based on what you've learned from the study guide.Then you only have 2 answers left to reason with. Good luck and soon you will be posting your passing Micro success story! Again, I do know your pain with this test. YOU GOT THIS! GO CONQUER MICRO!
