I graduated in May, 2017 and took my test in June after Amelies review. She said to do the questions, she said to read the guidelines but, after getting almost 4.0 at a very prestigious university (Ohio State College of Nursing) I thought I could just wing it! After contacting APEA, I heard from Amelie herself giving me encouragement and guidance. Allen Boussard talked to me many times over the past year, letting me retake the review and actually extended it three times because I had several surgeries during the past year. They were always there for me. During preparation for this exam, I took everything Amelie said to heart: I did all the Qbank questions and especially read the rationales, I read all the pertinent guidelines for each section and I did her predictor exam twice, each one was different. I took my exam on October 27. I remember the first time not knowing half the questions and guessing on many of the other half; this time, there were few questions that I didn't know for sure. I walked out of the exam with no doubt that I had passed. It was a great feeling to feel so confident. So my advice to you: take Amelie's review, do what she says, and you can't go wrong. Thank you so to APEA and especially Amelie and Allen for believing in me and working with me through this past year, being so gracious to me so that I could have this fabulous end result!! Thank you, thank you!!!!!
