Hey guys, can't seem to get this material to sink in...I've got the chancellors guide and some study notes. I listen to the tapes and they're putting me to sleep.

If anyone has any suggestions for this exam please forward them here, I've already put this one on the back burner and picked up on Chronicity instead.

Tell me about it, I'm taking it Thursday and I don't know if I'm ready for it but I'm gonna wing it. I took the 2 practice exams from EC and TCN practice test of 296 questions (boy was that fun), and going by those I should pass it with a C, which is all I care about for this exam. Going by those practice tests it gave me an idea what I'm weak in and what I pretty much already know. It still seems like it will be a tricky one, either you know it or you don't.

Well, I took only the Form A of the practice test did not score that hot....which I expected cause LPN school taught just a lil portion of this stuff.

I figure I'll just get back to it, hey how do you find TCN guides? I used it for NC1 and didn't really like it too much. The questions had no rationales to go with the answers, I hate that. I need study guides with rationales, do u know of any?:bowingpur

Thats one thing I don't like about the TCN tests is not having the rationales. But it had a huge bank of questions which covered just about everything on this subject. I've looked through about 4 NCLEX review books and none really covered well this stuff. They all made them into critical thinking questions which I don't think it is like for the EC exam (I wish it was though). I already have it scheduled so I'm just gonna do it since testing is out til April I believe at the Pearson center near me. I have all the TCN stuff with the new curriculum since I was stupid enough to sign with them (before I found this site) so now I'm kicking myself lol.
