I have to take the anatomy and physiology comptency exam next week, and if I pass (which I heard the exam is very difficult) I can start my nursing courses this fall! I am praying that I pass.. I really do not want to have to wait until Fall 2010 to begin the nursing portion. Good luck to you!!
ventgurl, ASN 61 Posts Specializes in CTICU. Has 11 years experience. Jul 29, 2009 OMG, were you there on the Monday (7/27)? So was I, that test was a killer. Did you get results back, I sooooo nervous. I'm in the same situation, If I dont pass A&P competancy exam (despite the fact that I got an A at another college), I cant start nursing until Fall 2010. How did you prepare, did you use the guidelines that were givien by St V's? I used that and old A&P notes and still had a hard time with the questions. Id like your and anybody else's feedback on the competancy exam whether taken on Monday or prior!

nikki109 33 Posts Aug 28, 2009 Hi!Sorry, I haven't checked this in quite a few weeks! I actually took the competency exam on August 18th.. I was supposed to take it July 27th but wanted a little more time! Not that it helped me.. that exam was deadly! I think the woman said I scored a 36 or something ridiculous like that. It's crazy! For anyone that did pass it - props to you! I used the sheet they gave us about what to study for.. and I used my old A&P notebook and textbook. When I took it at my other school, I had a very difficult teacher and managed a B+, so I was pretty upset at St. V's exam!So off I go taking A&P this fall! Ventgurl, are you taking it this semester?? What section are you in!?
