I used SG101 notes and the EXCELSIOR PRACTICE EXAMS! AGAIN EXCELSIOR PRACTICE EXAMS. Very resourceful

Hi! I just passed this test with a B this past week. I read on other threads there's a lot of memorization needed and not much application. Just make sure you know different influences on nursing, nursing delivery options, and leadership styles. The test was very LONG for me. I think the practice test would've helped immensely. Others have raved about he practice test.

I used studygroup101 also. I then used the Quizlet app to make my own flashcards so u can study on my phone. This was very helpful. Good luck!

follow the content guide - it tells you what you need to focus on.

A good approach is to focus on each area in the content guide......but not too much on reimbursement. Make sure you know how nursing care should be applied in certain circumstances/different units. I'm not sure if each exam is exactly the same.

Sharing test content is a violation of EC academic honesty policies, and can get students dismissed from the program. Just FYI -- please be careful about asking for specifics. Thanks! :)

Did you take the EC practice exams? Those will give you a pretty good idea of the typical exam.

Just took form A tonight. I def see where my weak areas are and am focusing on those. I am hoping by taking both A and B practice exams will lead me in the right direction of where to focus my studying.
