can someone please explain the part about the person figuring out what to study etc to me? i am confused lol. thanks

Hi everyone, So i just took the excelsior practice test A for a&p and scored a 34%. I can't believe i scored so low lol. I am wondering what score i should be shooting for? I see people saying on here that they pass with like 40's etc. If you don't mind my asking what were your scores on practice tests, and then what did you actually score real exam? I do not plan to take exam yet, just want to know how badly i really did and how much farther i need to go to pass : ). Thanks

lol thx brillyd

Hi, I plan to take a&p in dec, then on to micro : ( lol. After that i have humanities then 9 nursing tests. So i still have a ways to go lol. How long have you both been enrolled? Thanks

Hello, Is there anyone out there looking for a study buddy who lives in or near the Albany NY area? I am studying for the excelsior a & p exam right now. Thanks you, Sarah

thanks everyone for the great advice!

hey little miss redpatch thanks for the response! quick question, do you feel if you had only studied with using studyguide101 that you still would've passed the exam and or done so well? thanks again

Hello, I am preparing to start studying for excelsior's a & p test. I am wondering if anyone has any updated study materials to recommend? I was thinking of getting physiology demystified, and using the ec content guides. Also purchasing the ec practice tests. I am worried if i only get the physiology demystified then i wont have had enough study materials for the anatomy portion of the test. Any advice anything that is good for just the anatomy portion? or both portions lol. thanks so much!

Hey all, I guess i am just looking for advice. I am feeling so discouraged and hopeless right now. I am currently an LPN and have been for one year. I have done some of my pre req's for the RN program as well. I finished up my pre req's before lpn school and before having a baby. So now i started back and just found it was too much with school and work and having a 3 year old. I had to drop my classes this semester because it has all just been too much. I was studying as much as i could ( while my daughter was at school, taking a nap, bedtime, i would bring note cards to work, etc) and even with that i was barely if at all passing my class. I have read other posts about people who do it with children and families etc i just wish i knew how i am going to get through this. I will be taking anp 2 in the fall. Which was the class i had to drop this summer. I want to be an RN more than anything it just feels like am impossible goal at this point in my life. Any words of wisdom etc lol would be great. Thanks so much for reading.

Hey tashaLPN2006, I was wondering if you could answer a few questions i have. I noticed that you have taken alot of excelsior's exams. this is actually the first exam i am going to take and i would love some advice, lol. I am so nervous about having to take a&p and micro. What did you do for these exams, how did you self study? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again

Hello again, thanks for your help. I did end up calling excelsior and they verified that the essay portion of this exam is not required. Just in case anyone was wanting to know. :) Thanks again!!

Hey all, Quick question, does anyone know if the essay portion of analyzing and interpreting literature clep exam is required for the asn program? Thanks a bunch!

Thank you all for the great answers, they were very helpful! :)

Hi, I am in the process of starting Excelsior College in NY, i am wondering if someone can explain to me exactly how you obtain your degree? I know about the three day clinical, and workshop you can take but how exactly do the classes work? Am i actually signing up for a class (ex: A&P 1), or am i just getting study materials, studying at my own pace, then going to testing center and testing? Oh and this is the only post i could find on this topic, and it didn't really answer my questions. Excelsior College Questions - Nursing for Nurses Thanks so much, info appreciated. :)

PVT worked for me, got the good pop up and passed!!!!!!
