Hello all

I must start by saying you all are great.:bow: I been reading on this forum a few weeks and most of my questions have been answered. So anyway I just enrolled in EC. I was thinking of taking A&P first and looked at the study guide. O boy it looks like a lot of material. How about these guided learning packages what do ya'll think?

I will be under the new curriculum so any one have any inside scoop on that? Will they change the CPNE requirements too? I'll take any advice, feeling a little nervous. Thanks.:D

I would save your money to spend on the EC practice exams. And buy a guided learning module off of E-bay. Don't spend your money on TCN or Chancellor's.

A&P is memorization, period. Make yourself flash cards, get an A&P coloring book - memorize.

I don't know about the new curriculum.

HTH.

With the new curriculum the exams are 3 credits instead of 4 so there is an extra exam. There is an extra part compared to the old curriculum, the 3 part FCCA which isn't available to take yet. But the CPNE is the same regardless of when you signed up. Good luck.

Congratulations on your decision! A&P is a lot of material, I remember that monster!! I liked StudyGroup101's materials: http://mystudygroup101.homestead.com -- they used to sell on eBay, but they've moved to their own site. Nice people, fabulous materials. :)

P.S. My husband has a 2007 Jeep Wrangler X -- we love it!! We're Jeep people ... or as I call us, "Jeeple." LOL. :D
