I agree that Shelby day program is the way to go. I have heard too many negatives from students in the main campus & PT programs. It is hard work, but I have been pleased with instructors and classmates at Shelby. Just make sure you have childcare - there are some long days.

Definitely apply for Shelby! They have new facilities, while Jefferson has very old, dingy facilities with outdated equipment. And the instructors are much better at Shelby.

Yes, Jeffstate. This is the first semester they are doing it that way - I didn't even realize they had changed the policy until after I had taken the test. I think too many people have been failing out since ERI changed from 3x to take same test to 2x to take different tests.

No advice on how to study - other than taking the eri practice tests on their website (which was much easier than the actual test I took!). The good news is that failing eri no longer equals failing the class. Now, it counts as 5 points. You have 2 opportunities to take the test. If you do not score above the national average, you don't get your 5 points, but you don't fail out, either. Also, for the first semester eri (calculations & classifications), you only have to score above the national average in the calculation and the dosage & administration categories, not classifications. Hope this helps!
