Passed NC4

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;)

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,

: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

what is the study group 101, is it from Exc.college?? and is there a due date on when I need to take the practice exam A and B from EC after I paid for them. Thanks

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!

Ok, Ok, I just tried it again and managed to get it through this time!! YEA!

Ok, I don't mean to whine, but I'm stressing about having only two weeks left to do NC 4 & 5. I seem to always do this. I get scared of what's to come but once I get through it, it wasn't so bad. I wish I could just do it and get it over with already!!! LOL!! Well, I'm going to have to anyways or end up re-registering!!
