Passed FCCA!

Published

Just finished taking both FCCA exams. Done. Passed. Over.

Without giving any details, let me just reiterate what someone else said in another thread:

Do NOT underestimate the FCCA. It was not a cake walk by any means.

On to CPNE!

It usually says you have passed, it's a "P" rating, no grade but it tells you your score, its 60 questions and you need 42/60 to pass, hope this answers your question!

Congrats to everyone who passed! Unfortunately, I cannot say the same; this is truly a test you don't want to underestimate.:cry::barf02::cry: I still have Managing Multiple Patients to take by Sunday-- fingers crossed I can pass that one!!! Good luck to everyone else. Study, study, study...and then study some more. :yes:

Don't let it get you down! I had trouble with that one too. Only passed by 2 questions. You'll get it next term for sure! Good luck on the 2nd exam!

After u finish one part is it supposed to say passed or just the grade?

If you click on the link to the test, and you passed, it will tell you that you got a passing score of at least 70%. It goes on to say that the final grades will be posted the day after the term ends, and that records will be updated within 2 weeks of the end of the term.

Yeah for us all. I just passed both of them today. On to CPNE. Super nervous about that.

Sorry to hear this. I am in a similar situation after this morning. Found out a few tidbits of info after talking to an advisor this morning as well. Much tougher than I thought.

Thank you for the support and encouragement!!! I only missed it by 2-- got a 40/60-- so now I am stuck wondering where things went south. It sure is a terrible feeling, having failed an exam, but there are far worse things in life. Taking my second test later today....or tomorrow...but definitely by Sunday :)

I joined the group awaiting the CPNE today as well. These two were more nerve racking than I thought they would be. Good luck to everybody, and I'll probably comparing tactics for the CPNE with some of you via PM in the near future.

I will be enrolling within the next 3 weeks with EC. I've been reviewing posts on here about them and ISU. Ultimately decided on EC.

Anyway, congratulations to all of you for taking the next steps in your professional lives. Now, can someone please tell me what FCCA and CPNE tests stand for. I know this is probably a dumb question and one I may should know but don't.

Good luck to you all!!

It's not a dumb question, but if you don't know what they are, you have not yet read/researched enough to make an informed decision. Here are some links:
