Yes, you should be able to review it. Contact tech support if you continue to have issues.

Login to Excelsior.
Your home page should come up.
Click on "Microbiology Practice Exam"
When the Blackboard opens, click on the exam.
Click on "taking and reviewing your practice exam".
In the table of contents, scroll to number 8, practice exam Form A, and click the link.
Click on "click to launch"
Click on "begin"
The page that comes up will tell you that you have already completed the test, and will ask you if you want to see all attempts.
Click on "view all attempts"
Under your "calculated grade", you will see your score. If you click on the score, it will open up the test questions.

It seems to me to be going around your elbow to get to your thumb, but that's the only way I know of to see your attempts.

hey I am in the same boat as you are. I did very badly on the practice exam as well but don't sweat it. Just follow the course outline provided and we should be good to go. I bought the study guide and that does seem to help and always review the study outline after each chapter in the textbook.

Hi jgallagher, thank you for the positive thoughts. I am reviewing the guide and outline, and I've been finding larends notes pretty useful. My exam is in two weeks so hopefully I'll pull myself together by then. Also reviewing the exam has been helpful. Good luck with your studies!

Hi All, I am getting ready to take the Lifespan exams and I was hoping for some advice on how to tackle these exams. Has anyone taken them recently, and are they as difficult as I have heard? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I always take the practice exams and use study group notes, but the practice exams don't seem to offer me much guidance. I find the actual exams to be very different, with maybe a few similar questions thrown in. Thank you in advance!
