I wanted to know from the people who has done it. How do you study for 2 subjects at a time. I have heard of it being done and I have seen it from people taking traditional classes, but I wanted to ask since this is a different avenue. I appreciate any and all advice. Excited about school. P.S I am finished with Phase 1.

I did all 7 exams in 6 weeks I scheduled the exam studied for 4-6 days until I finished all the exams. I must warn u lifespan 2 is no joke! I finished the fcca in February and waiting to take the cpne now.
Oh I forget to tell u I didn't use any recommendations from excelsior. I just studied of the CDs from study group 101, but had I used what they recommended I probably wouldn't have gotten 5 c's [emoji51]
Thanks. Is there any special way you studied.. did you ever study according to the content guide. . I'm trying to get through phase 2 fast and soon. I appreciate the information

You do some reading for one, you do some reading for the other. Just like any time that you take more than one subject at a time. :)
I never studied for 2 at a time. I studied for each exam an average of 5 days & I always scheduled each exam before I started studying. I didn't follow the study guide which is the reason for so many C's. I devoted 6 Plus weeks and $2,905 & passed. I know if I had truly taken the time to study longer, those C's would have been A's. Do what works for you. I had a goal & even though everyone said I couldn't do 7 nursing exams in less than 2 months I did! You know what you can and can't do. With that being said, I hope you you do great on all your exams!
