I love it! Failure IS an option, and quite frankly, failure makes for much grander life experiences that you could never even think of doing! God does indeed work in mysterious ways! As for the "no harm" insulin issue, seriously people! We have all...

I am an LPN w assoc degree and I am starting classes this fall :)

I took a test every three - four weeks. I printed the study guide off Excelsior website and went off of that. Keep it simple, as most of the tests are only 160 questions or so, and it's impossible to be asked questions on everything listed in the sev...

Fyi check your inbox with Excelsior....new rules state you are only allowed to fail a test once...

I completed all the CLEP's in September of this year and did not use any of the practice exams.

09/20/2010 11:43:23 Subject:New Policy - REPEATING EXCELSIOR COLLEGE COURSES In an effort to continuously improve our degree programs starting November 2010, enrolled undergraduate students who receive an F (or D grade in core or professional compone...

Well I sure liked 'em, but I'm just starting to study for the CPNE...

I've wondered about that class as well, it's the only pre-req I'll need to do for a BSN. The thought of any math scares me, because of my dyslexia, thinking I might be better off doing it locally in a actual class...

It really is all a blur, I had just about all the pre-req's done already cuz I'm a professional student ;-) I didn't look at the big picture, I scheduled the exams on a rather quick timeline and focused on just that one, then moved onto the next one....

Went and took it yesterday-it was my last test...passed! Man I couldn't wait to get this one done with! The people at Pearson-Vue are awesome, they sure know how to keep people's stress levels down to a minimum. Ironic, I have read many posts on here...

I signed up for EC in Oct 2009, worked like a fool and banked up $ all the test fees and whatnot and started testing in May 2010, completed all Sept 2010. I ignored everyone, hid in my cave and kept glued to the study guides to keep me on track. Not ...

When will / are you done with all the tests?

Study guides from Excelsior College is all you need for their tests. The study guide lists the recommended books as well, I get the older editions of the books to save even more $.

I found it to be a fairly easy test. All of them are, with the exceptions of the Life Span Series-because there is a lot of material to cover for those three.

It does help to cut out sugar, but that's not the reasoning for PCOS. Crazy hormone levels. Mine stemmed from 7yrs of birth control (which aided in the cyst growth). Quitting the bc did help, but once you have the cysts; they may pop on occasion, bu...

PALS and ACLS are the most common-need those cert's for just about any job out there. (Easy classes as well). Try not to focus too much on specializing rate now-go thru the nsg program, and pay attention in clinicals. When you find that certain floor...

Yet another PCOS chickie here as well....I was a fattie-size 26 at my highest. Thru trying everything known for PCOS, I was finally approved for endo ablation and it basically cured me. Down to a Size 9 now, approx 20-30lbs left to go. The weight sne...

I was the EXACT same way!

Paid in cash, little by little, finishing up last CLEP on Friday, and the best part is when I get done with it all, NO STUDENT LOANS to pay back:yeah:

I've never done any of the practice tests, just went for the actual test-all B's and one C, I have one more test left...

CLEPS are easy. Take a semester class-you have multiple tests on really intense stuff of every chapter including essays, papers to write and whatnot. CLEP-one test, going on the broad strokes of what the basic knowledge (really counts?) of the class.

I am going to continue working part time for the next 150 years and then I am going to be the greeter at Walmart because they seem so darn happy and get to talk to everyone ;-)

Your books shouldn't be too outdated, and you can print off the study guides for free from the website.

Took three days to do the reading. Broke it up, day one was Cardio, day two was Resp, day three was abn cell. Stayed with the outline for all of it. I do have a disc from mystudygroup101 but was too lazy to look at it, as a lot of my time went into r...
