That was about my range, actually lower on some of the tests. My pretest was a 75%. But on the randoms I would go from a 50-80% range. I would then repeat the exams until I was in the 90's. I redid the priority and managerial stuff and looked over endocrine and pharmacology. Of course did not have one endocrine on my exam and only one pharm. question. I just remember priority, priority, priority. GOOD LUCK, and you will do fine!

I didn't have any endocrine on mine either, and that was something I kept going back to study because I was always mixing stuff up! :chuckle

Hi Pam! How did you do? Hey you took it in Worcester, right? Do you get into the building through the door to the right of the bank-and just go up the elevator? I know where the big building is but never drove up there yet-so I'm trying to picture it. Maybe I should go in to make sure I know where i'm going! good luck!!! :)

Hi Chirstine!!

Well, it shut off at 75...I have no idea how I did. I feel like I guessed on so many of them!! I had a lot of priority, some meds, NO math, and questions on Alzheimers and botulism...go figure. I'm just hoping that it shut off because I passed!! :uhoh3:

Anyway, the center in Worcester is on the 6th floor...easy to find. Be prepared to lock everything up in a locker....no watches, bracelts, etc. I do highly recommend the free earplugs they have there!!! The women are really nice who work there....you'll do fine!!

Just keep doing, and doing, and doing, and doing the practice questions. There is no way to study for this. Know your lab values, because they may be included in a patient who is listed as a priority.

Best of luck, and keep me posted!!

Pam

P.S. I sent you a PM --- did you get it?

Hi Pam! That's great it shut off at 75 for you!!! I'm crossing my fingers for you but know you passed! :) I hope mine decides to stop at 75 too! :) Thanks for the advice on studying! My goal is to do at least 4000 questions before next friday! Oh and yep, I got your PM a few days ago. Don't forget to tell me when you get the good news!!! :)
