    after the exam, your grade will print at the front desk and the staff will give it to you.

    as for transitions, it was not that hard but a lot of people and organizations to memorize. there was no critical thinking in this exam. i used sg101 and the practice exams and studied for 1.5 week and got a b.

    Transitions (which used to be called Nursing Concepts 7, or Foundations of Professional Practice) is pretty dry material. Very straightforward stuff. If no one has mentioned it yet, the EC practice exams are very worth the $65.

    All of the exams are administered via computer at Pearson VUE professional centers: http://www.pearsonvue.com/

    Each exam content guide will tell you the number of questions on the exam and how long you have to take it. When I tested, results were available right after the exam, and I don't think that's changed -- you'll get a printout of your overall grade, as well as a breakdown of your percentage by subject area.

    I studied for about 2 weeks on that exam. Be careful though, don't underestimate it!

    Thanks! Does it matter what order you test in? Also, what seemed to be the toughest test for you all? It seems the med/surg tests would be the toughest to study for, there is so much information!

    You can take them in any order, but they did seem to build on each other. After Transitions, I'd recommend going back to Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Safety (the first exam), and going from there.

    As far as difficulty, it's a little different for everyone. We're all healthcare providers, but some of us have other backgrounds. For example, as a paramedic, the sections that dealt with cardiac and respiratory were review/easy, whereas others have had a tough time with those sections. But overall, people seem to have the most trouble with Health Differences Across the Life Span 2 -- I see people fail that one more often than any other.
