Took test on Monday: 265 questions...

Published

I took my test for the 3rd time on Monday and for the first time ever, I got the maximum amount of questions. The first two times I got 75 both times. I'm so nervous waiting to find out. I had a lot of priority, triage, SATA, and medication questions. If I failed, I really don't know if I will have the motivation to study and try again. I feel like I really put my all into it this time, I spent the past 8 months studying with a private tutor and I know I've improved a great deal since the 2nd time I took the test, but not sure if it's enough for me to have passed this time. If I passed, I will be THE happiest person on the face of this earth, that's for sure. :idea:

Best of luck to you. It is going to be impossible to second guess how you did on the exam.

Just found out this morning that I failed for the 3rd time... :( I spent the past 8 months preparing, but clearly not enough. I'm waiting to hear what areas I had the most trouble in and then I guess work from there. Good luck to anyone else that took the test this month!!!

Sorry, but that is not the way to approach it. If you have been preparing for 8 months and did not pass, then there were problems with what you were doing and how you were doing it. You can get thru this exam. And no reason whatsoever to spend that much time reviewing. Thing is to be consistent and work on preparation each and every day, not whenever the time comes up.

You need to prepare again as if you have never tested. What was on your previous exam is not going to be on your next.

You just need to prepare differently than from what you have done in the past.

I am more than happy to help you, you will just need to follow what I have posted in the first tip thread that can be found with the stickies in this forum. But one of my key requirements is that one waits a full week before beginning the first tip. Your brain needs the time to just recover as well as you do.

Best of luck to you.

My heart goes out to you. I know how it feels, but dont lose hope. Think positive and take Suzanne's advice, relax your brain for a week and start her plan.
