Thanks for the info, nice to hear from someone that did actually pass this CLEP, I was beginning to wonder. How long did you take to study for this? thanks,
Lunah, Your right a year and a half is definitely doable, I didn't mean to sound negative, but it would make you feel under the gun.... Sigh... I really would not want to have to start over with the...
Wow that is chilling, it doesn't give someone who has just started the program much time to finish with the CPNE wait time. I am in PA, and I called the BON over a year ago and was assured they didn't...
Erin, I have also had the same problem. There were a decent amount of openings until about April, then it gets very limited clear through to July. Right now June is already nearly full. With the...
Wow, that's only about 45 min from my mother, and 3.5 hours from me. I wonder if the addition of another site and the additional middle of the week testing days for the NPAC will speed up the process....
I worked as a CNA since 96, and graduated in 04 from an LPN program. I enrolled in EC in July of 07 and so far I've taken Ethics, A & P, College writing, NC1, and NC7. I am currently working on...
minnib, It is confusing at first, took me a long time to sort it all out. I didn't mean to imply that English would be too hard, but for some reason most ppl find it daunting, myself included....
akappyann, I took A & P in November, and I also had a guide from TCN and my textbook from the 1 semester course I had in A & P. TCN's guides are the scaled down version, just what you need to...
minnib, The last that I heard English is the one thing EC will not let you Clep out of. You can study for the exam, English Composition, without taking the actual online course through EC. I took...
farmgirl_dee65, I made flashcards whenever I had difficulty keeping info straight, for me it helped break material down into small enough chunks. I made quite a stack for Ethics. Lifespan I took by...
:w00t: NC1 got a B, I'll take it. I registered for NC 7 but haven't scheduled yet. I know someone posted about this before, but Holy Crap is NC 7 some DRY material. Might be tough sluggin through...
itsaboutime, I took this exam in July, and it was my first Excelsior exam too. I thought this exam was rather difficult. I found those scenario questions asking you to figure out the ethical...
CONGRATULATIONS!!:w00t: 3 Exams and 2 of them NC in 1 week, pretty impressive. I'm doing the same thing with my exams, NC 7 is the next one I'm going to get out of the way after I take NC 1 on...
Ethics, form A I think was 69, form B was in the low 70's, got an A. A&P Only took Form A I got a 62, made a B on the exam. That was a bad one, I think I had 3 days left in my 9 month window...
I love EC's practice exams!!. I am sure I would have never gotten an A on the Ethics exam (a bit of a mind bender in my opinion) without the practice exams. I wouldn't have had enough practice with...
Nursing Concepts 1 on January 14. I felt the material in this test was review of the fundamentals course I had in LPN school, (only 3 yrs ago) I remembered alot of it. I have only studied about 2...
Ditto what Akinini, BetterME29, & Dream_Nurse2b said. It does seem like a lot of money up front, however if you look at the cost of 1 college course it can change your perspective a bit. I took...
For those that took EC's A&P exam, how long did you study for it?? OMG I don't think I am ever going to get through it all much less retain all this info. I even had 1 semester of A&P at my...
