Hi all,
I'm a new member - I only need 3 credits to graduate. I'm almost a straight A student and you'd think I was studying to perform brain surgery.
I am scheduled to take Here's to Your Health for my remaining 3 credits.
I'm so nervous - anyone taken that test and passed? What's your advice.
Thanks a million
Fellow student

Unfortunately, this exam was just updated so specific content is limited. I would look at the Feedback for the old version and make sure you know that information as the updates are usually variations of the same information.

I will say that this was one of the easier exams I've taken, and I'm sure with a little studying you'll do just great!

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate any feedback from someone who's taken the latest version of the Here's to Your Health test.
By the way, where are the flash cards and InstantCert study guide some have referred
to? What is IC? Is that another website?

I took the updated exam about 3 weeks ago. I am not in the medical field. If this gives you an idea how the exam was... I was actually annoyed I wasted 3 hours driving to and from the exam. The exam took me under 30 minutes to finish. You would think I would have been grateful for the fact that it was easy... Anyway, if you've been through IC, you should be just fine. Of course, everyone is different, but that's how I felt. Best of luck to you!

Wow. All I can say is there must be several different tests being administered, because I thought it was VERY difficult. In fact, out of 98 questions, I only remember seeing about 3 or 4 similar questions from IC.
About 10 minutes into the test I had to look to the top of the screen to verify I was taking the correct test and not some other health related test on accident!
I don't consider myself a dunce my any means as I am currently earning a 3.53 at the University of Phoenix. But DO NOT underestimate this exam or think for a half a second it will be easy.
If you do, you will most likely be back in a week retaking it.
