My advice is this:

Take your time. Skip any question that you dont know the answer  and come back to it.

Eliminate the obvious wrong answers. Tear apart the question.

Take your time.

You can do it!!  Breathe deep and take one question at a time.   

I cant remember if there were any lab values to remember, but if there is, write them on the wipe board when you sit down.

Okay, thats all I have.  Let us know how you do!!!!

Good luck. And remember to breathe.

Question on any of the NC's if you do not get a C or better, does that go on your transcript at EC?

I don't think they accept under a c, but if they did, if you retest and do better they take the new score and drop the old one I am told.

Lisa has good advice on testing...one question at a time...read carefully...breathe!!!!!  They give you 3 hours to answer 160 questions.  You have plenty of time to do it.  Flag for review if you are not sure of the answer.  When you do the review of those, don't change your first answer unless you KNOW the right answer now.  Usually your gut instinct will be correct.  If I have no clue at all I pick an answer and don't flag the question but I write the # of the question down in case something later on tells me the answer to that one.

You will do fine............BREATHE!!!

Definitely read the questions very thoroughly!! I find that on the practice exams, I would get many more correct if I would slow the heck down and READ. LOL. I tend to rush, rush, rush. Bad habit!

You can do this! I'll be thinking of you!! Smiley Smiley Smiley Go Michelle! Go Michelle! Go Michelle!
