Practice Exams (Excelsior)

Nursing Students Excelsior

Hello!

Can I get your input on excelsior practice exams?

On average what did you score on your practice exams and what was your actual grade on the final exam?

From what I am reading it looks like above 50s on the practice exam may indicate you are ready for the final - any thoughts?

I asked an Advisor and they suggest testing after getting anything above 80% on nursing practice exams.

I just scheduled my 7th exam. I take one exam a week, have passed all of them the first time I have taken them, and have never, ever got above an80% on a practice exam.

Honestly the highest score I've recieved, if my memory serves me right, was 56%. I JUST took practice exam A for Life Span 2 and ALMOST got a 50%. Since my test date is so close I've printed ALL the practice questions and reviewed EVERY rationale from Excelsior's practice exam. I generally score low on the practice exams and thank God, still pass! I am so ready to finish this. ALMOST at the finish line!

I took the practice exam for LS2 today and got a little under 50%. Now I haven't studied at all for it and will take practice exam B when I complete studying. Rather then gauge against the real exam I feel the practice exams are more to help me learn.

I'm just getting started so I've only taken 1 exam - Micro. My practice exam scores were in the low 50's and I passed the exam with an A.
