Hello everyone, I took the exam today and passed! I have to admit the exam was very difficult, and I did study and prepare quite a bit as you can see from my original post. I would recommend these materials. I took me 2 hours 50 minutes to finish. Now keep in mind that my MSN and DNP are not in the education specialty. My specialty is nursing administration, and joined academia two years ago. I did study for 3 months quite extensively and work for a wonderful school of nursing that "walks the walk" in academia. Good luck to all taking the exam in the future!
