Praise the Lord!
Passed A&P with an A this weekend!
This was such a monster exam...
I was really nervous about it, especially after getting a 55 on my first EC Practice Exam and a 66 on the second one.
The EC Practice Exams were invaluable! I studied using the Martini textbook and a little bit of studyguide101, but the practice exams were really the key to figure out the points on which I had to work harder.
Moving right along!!!

Congrats! I'm working on this one and it feels like it's more info than I can retain LOL How long did you study? Thanks also for the advice about the practice exams. I hear so many positive things about them, I'll definitely give them a try.

Great job! This was the very first EC exam I took, and I was happy to walk away from that monster with a B!! Congrats on your A, that rocks. :)
Thanks for the encouragement guys!
I am SO happy to leave this behind me
Becky, yes... there is a ton of info to retain, but don't get discouraged! You can do it! Just take it all in small increments, focusing on the areas you have more trouble. Martini's book can be overwhelming, so I studied the summaries for every chapter listed on the EC syllabus, but focused more in depth only on the material that I found more difficult. Studying the practice exams and each rationale helps tremendously! Also, using these exams to determine what points you need to go back and focus on. It took me about 3 months to feel like I should give a shot! (Note that I never said I felt I was ready...:))
Thanks for the encouragement, I need all the help I can get! I feel like I just need to get over this huge hump of an exam and everything else will pale by comparison lol
