I am trying to get ready to test this one. Did you use the EC practice exam?

Specializes in ED.

I used Saunders and the Excelsior practice tests as my primary study sources and passed.

I have taken the first one and got a 58%. I don't fell like that is very good at all, but I was wondering how other people did. I was wondering also if anyone took both test after they studied the material or did one before and the other after.

Congrats to the OP for passing LS1!!! :-)

I usually take the first one cold before I study to give me a direction to focus in and then the next one about a week before my test. Just remember the practice tests are not graded like the actual exam, they are just 1 pt a peice scored out of 100%. The exam has multiple weighted sections, check on your content guide but I think for LS1 it's like 44% for one and 43% for the other two (130 questions). I scored a 72% on my first one and a 86% on my second one and I got an A on the actual exam.

Good luck!

Beach...just one question...I see under the heading "nursing specialty" you have Telemetry and PCU listed....could that have had something to do with you passing with an A..hmmm???? :)
