Any one have a study guide they used to pass the dpv1 class. it is the frist class. and last week i was unable to pass the OA.

I don't believe a study guide exists for that course. With WGU, you need to be inventive and create your own study guides through various internet sources. Google is your friend. Look at what I found while searching for less than 10 minutes. BTW, I passed DPV1 by studying lecture notes from other college websites.

TheCommuter,

Are you a student of WGU? How does their classes work? I know with Pre-licensing class portions are online. So are you pretty much relying on alot of internet material and other school information to get through the classes? Do they have textbooks and materials themselves?

How does that work? I am looking at WGU for their program as well, but alittle confused at how it works.

I'm enrolled in their online RN-to-BSN completion program. WGU issues ebooks that are included in the cost of tuition, and each course has a COS (course of study) with suggested readings and assignments that will help people pass the exams.

I don't follow the course of study because it simply takes too long. There's a whole semester's worth of work in the course of study, so I cut to the chase by using lecture notes from other university's nursing departments to learn the material.

Oooh ok. I can see that. I wish I was about to get in school sooner. But I have to retake A&P 2. Had a very horrible teacher and majority of the class received low grades because her lack of teaching and giving the correct lessons for the exams. I didn't want to wait for January to hit for spring but looks like i have too. Sucks. Trying to sifter out if online would be better for me because I have to work being a single mom. I am not having much luck finding anything else here. Hating it.
