As someone who has taken 10 of EC's exams, I can tell you that they're not easy. But with that being said, EC does provide detailed exam content guides that outline the information that you need to study; if you do the reading, you should be good to go! :) Treat the exam content guide as your syllabus/class outline; you can even turn it into a checklist to make sure you've covered the required content. Good luck!

EC exams aren't too different from the NCLEX, in my opinion. Lots of critical thinking, with 2 answer easily eliminated. :D

May I ask where will you take theses exams? I was looking for med surg certification sites and the only ones I saw were for May 09. What does EC stand for?
