studygroup 101 makes study guides for the exams and they are very reasonable prices. They aren't part of Excelsior college and they tell you that up front and you dont have to worry about contracts and high prices like some others (college network ac...

you can take information literaure thru tor college for just over a hundred dollars. I did beginning algebra thru aleks.com for the math and it cost 20 plus 40 for the transcripts.

I have never scored over 71 and i've got a and b's. the only ones where you score in the 50 range are for microbbiology or anatomy and thats high enough to pass

I think the uxcel tests are pretty similar to clep or dantes. I'm paying straight up so I'm only taking exams and I took the life span with dantes. It was pretty straight forward. Did transitions with study group 101 and I'm working on health safe...

But are the exams still weighted like the nclx? Like if you miss one they give you another like it until you get it right? I took transition yesterday, couldnt really tell though.
NurseSuzy22 replied to Rbeck911's topic in Excelsior
I heard they have several versions of each test so you never know what you will get. Someone said they thought ti was like nclex where if you miss one on a subject they start giving you more on the subject until you get a certain nubmer right. Wei...

the books are on the bookstore page or in the content syllabus. if you go to excelsior.edu and click bookstore you can find what books your supposed to have. i got 2 new editions but the others are one edition older on amazon pretty cheap.

My friend did the fcac a couple months ago and she said teh studygroup101 was really helpful in teaching how to answer the questions so i plan to use it and she didnt have to buy any extra books. I guess everyone is different
NurseSuzy22 replied to Sweets88's topic in Excelsior
Im using only studygroup101 because they have such good reviews. I really like it so far but i did get the books too on amazon just in case i need them.
Theres cpne bootcamp too which is the one i plan on doing when I get there. They have smaler classes and i can stay with my aunt cause she lives near miami

I get postcards weeklyu from them but i researched them and excelsior on line before so I didnt sign up with them. Im pretty good at reading and learning on my own so i figure i can save the money for the clincial weekend.
I think you can take either from what i understand. I read that if you are planning on bsn you should take the 2 separate ones cause its a lab that you need.
NurseSuzy22 replied to brutus00's topic in Excelsior
