Passed NC4

Published

passed nc4 with a b today. i was more proud of this grade, than i was of my a with nc3. this test was challenging for me r/t all of the cancer questions, and my sister dying from that this time last year. but, hey that is another hurdle, and i feel good. i was really freaking out last night. i guess i had like a major anxiety attack. i normally have anxiety, but this was a doozy. lol! anyway...wanted to share this good news with my cyber classmates/family. nc5 and 6 and then soc. then i think i will be cpne eligible. hope to be done with the nc's by christmas. traci:bugeyes:

[color=#ffa500]i will then have rel. and english comp while awaiting cpne date.

Congratulations! I recently enrolled with Excelsior and am just beginning to study Nursing Concepts 1. I would appreciate any information you may have in how to study for these exams , in addition to, what study materials are you using to pass the exams (ex: College Network, Rue, iStudySmart). I am using Lisa's notes that I found on eBay. There is a TON of study material on the CD's.

Have a wonderful evening and happy studying,

congrats!!! any tips, I'm studying NC4 at the moment and will appreciate any info r/t NC4 exam...thanks

I used my A&P book from LVN school,ATI,NCLEX Prep,notes from yahoo group files, and I took both excelsior practice tests. This was the first time I did not use Studygroup 101. I love them! I used TCN guide, just kind of scanned over it. I did not feel prepared for NC4 at all, and when the B popped up. I was so happy and relieved. Good luck to you! Traci;)

:DWelcome! For NC1 I used Study group 101, took excelsior's practice exams. $65 for both form A and B and worth every cent. I took Form A first to see where I stood, and then I took Form B about 4 days before my actual test. We are supposed to divulge any info, but just know the excelsior content guide, and remmber to deep breathe, and you will be fine.;) Traci

StudyGroup101 are notes for sale: http://www.studygroup101.com

I think you have about 6 months to take practice exams after paying for them ... I think it's 120 days of access. I could be wrong, though.

:o Hopefully...I was scheduled to take NC5 on 11/24. I am not even half way done with my studying, so I moved it to 12/20, and the test I had scheduled to take on that day...I moved to 1/23. I may regret that, but...I sure had rather at least be able to go through all of the material, especially for this test. I was thinking that someone had said 3 was the hardest, but according to these posts NC5 is the booger, so with that being said...that is why I put it off. I made my lowest score on this practice form A...it was before I started studying, but anyway...I want to study longer, and I plan on making a higher grade on form B of the practice test. I also did not want to be stressing too much around the holidays. This way I can enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas (Still have to study, but not for 2 tests), and hopefully be able to be involved in part of the activities...Since I am doing this...it will push my CPNE eligibility date back at least a month;) But...I will get this done. Thanks TBONE ! Traci

Has anyone tried this?? I got this email too and tried it out yesterday but still got charged for the practice exam. I guess I will just have to give them a call for another practice exam!
