I took A&P I in an 8 week course this summer and am currently taking A&P II and Microbiology together. Unlike the last poster, mine is flipped, my A&P professor expects the high level of understanding and detail and our exams are multipl...

I feel your pain! Back in June or July I was told there were already 150+ applicants and there were only going to be 36 chosen. Our deadline was Aug 1 and I just found out last week I was granted conditional acceptance. The roller coaster continues...

Micro is easier than A&P at my school. In fact, a lot of it is from A&P I which I already took, so it feels like some new facts plus review since I already had to learn it in every unit so far!

Oh, I remember many an essay question on these! We had to remember the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA---->RNA----->Proteins (with transcription, aka RNA synthesis, occurring over the first arrow and translation, aka Protein synthesis,...
I used to be a veterinary technician and some days were worse than others during surgery. The doc told me to go sit down and eat something like a granola bar. It works! I was told some people can get a little hypoglycemic, even if you're used to se...
I assume he's doing some training, so if you can find out where his follow on is, I might start looking at colleges there. 6-9 months isn't giving you much time where he currently is. If you still have pre-reqs to knock out, you could probably do t...

I am also an AF wife. The good thing about school is that it will keep you busy! I've got 2 boys and, if I make it in, will be starting nursing school when my hubby deploys again. Mine are older, in middle school so that helps a little (except for...

Yes! Our deadline was August 1st, then they had us take the entrance exam at the end of August and they said they would notify everyone by the end of September. There are 7 days left in September and I am currently stalking my mailman! I'm at the p...
I took A&P I over the summer and am currently taking A&P II with Micro. So far, I find this pretty advantageous because in my first unit for Micro, which my prof says is the hardest, we are discussing a lot of what we went over in A&P I ...

My book is Microbiology a human perspective by Nester. Our first exam is over chapters 1-3 and 12-14 and will be next Wednesday. Got 100% on first quiz but it was open book/open note, so not too hard. Metabolism and Genetics is the next section!

I think it really depends on your instructor! I've had many online classes and some teachers are just useless online. But I have an A&P teacher who is wonderful. He's supposed to be the most difficult, but I actually switched my A&P II to t...

When I did A&P I (this past summer semester), my study partner found a website called anatomyarcade.com. I used it to study things like muscles and bones. It starts out easier and as you get high scores, it adds more and more to what you have t...

I'm waiting to find out if I got in for Spring 2011 too! I've applied at USD (South Dakota) and have already taken the entrance exam and now the waiting game begins! Our apps were due Aug 1st and we took our exams the last full week in August. They ...

Hi ndb0001, No, all the math problems I saw on the exam were covered in the study guide. Nothing unexpected and nothing as in depth on my test as I saw in the study guide either, so the test was much easier. I think someone else mentioned it was li...
I've heard each test is different. As far as the science, as I said, I didn't feel the study guide covered what was on my exam and I think studying the A&P book would have been more helpful, but that could have been my test only. Honestly, I can...

I posted on another thread about my experience with this exam. I was frustrated because I couldn't find any information on this exam either and in fact, I thought I was studying for the NET until the day before my test! My advisor said the test is...
I agree with bd22. I took the test week before last and I found the writing, reading, and math to be basic and much easier than in the study guide. However, the science I felt was much more specific than the study guide. I've had A&P I but not...
