Just finished AP1 on April 30th. My AP2 starts May 13. It's a 12 week course. Say a prayer!

You should definitely memorize the origins/insertions - I just took my muscle practical last night and it was horrific. I wish I had started studying a lot sooner. I passed with an 82 - class average was a 62.

I am taking AP2 this summer and studying for the HESI exam

Made a 100 on my first practical... am a happy camper
