Roll Call: New Curriculum EC students

Just taking a break from studying and was wondering who has enrolled and what test are you studying for? I am studying for Test 4 Essentials in Reproductive Health and plan to take the test January 19. Where is everyone? How is the studying coming? Also, is anyone buying the study guides off EBAY. I'm kinda disappointed because I'm having to buy 2 and 3 CD's just to get what I need for one course. I have decided not to buy anymore because they need to make new CD's and Modify their notes to fit in with the new curriculum. The information isn't different but it makes no sense in having to pay $30 to get all the information you need for one course. Anyways, I would like to know who is still in full force with the studying?

I'm under the new, and will be taking my first exam essential in health safety on the 17th of this month. I've already started studying the essentials in chronicity. It seems to be very interesting so far, I'm hoping to be ready to test on this on the 31st. I will be purchasing the practice exam for test 1 from Minnay.com. I'm a little nervous regarding test 1. I'm going to give it all I got. I hope to keep abreast of your progress, for it is nice to have others going thru the same experience you are at the same time. Good luck!

Hello, I am under the new curriculum, studing for the first and third test. I bought some notes online from Arends, I also got notes from studygroup101. It's nice to know that there are others around doing the same thing. NCgirl, right behind you!

Howdy....I'm just starting too!

I'm getting info. literacy and the first one out of the way first. I want to double up on the test since the test site is approx. 2 hours not including heavy traffic.

Any great ideas on what to double up on???

I'm waiting for my transcripts to be evaluated. But I want to start prepping for the first test pronto!

And I too think it's pretty cool to be taking this journey with good company!

Question: In regards to study materials, I've heard great things about Lisa Arends CD's, but I'm concerned they're not updated to reflect the new curriculum. The overall info is not really new, but it has been rearranged.

Has anyone come across some study notes that are up to date??

Good luck everyone. And let's all check in regularly!
