Struggling and freaking out :(

I need to rant! I'm in a community college taking my pre reqs for an lpn-rn program and I have to take an entrance exam in a couple of weeks and I just know I'm going to fail it! It's the ACE 1 foundations of nursing exam and no one has any information hardly about this test. Why do nursing schools do this to us?! Ugh :( like they think pre reqs are hard enough, lets add another test on top of that. I've been trying to study hard but, as I already stated, I don't know anything about this test. So I've just been looking over a pn nclex review book, but I'm not getting anything right! It's like I've forgotten everything...but it hasn't even been a year since I took my nclex!! Rant over :yuck:

You mention that you are not getting anything right. Are you using a practice exam? I saw several practice exams on the internet available. I would do these, pay attention to the rationales if you get one wrong, and do them over and over until you have got the material down and are "scoring" over 95%.

I'm using the saunders guide for the nclex pn and the cd that came with it. Thank you for the advice, I'm still studying away!

The Saunders books and CD are excellent study tools. You are on the right track. Good luck!

Hi there. It's been a little over 2 years since this conversation. How are things going? I have been away from the site for awhile. Did you complete the LPN to RN program?
