just started this morning. taking gaddy's advice and going through all the review notes first, then doing quizzes/tests to see if i need to actually read the material. hopefully there is a lot of overlap from old exam 5&6 and new exam 6U.

My plan is using RN and quiz. Hopefully that's good enough.

Took the test today and (unofficially) passed, with about 40-50 hours of studying in all. I think that was a little more than was necessary to pass. I started studying 3 weeks ago, and have passed the old 5 & 6, so there was a lot of material I had seen before. I felt that the exam was a tad more difficult than the practice exam/quizzes.

How do you get the result of the test? Is it a print out or just result shown on the computer screen? Does it tell you the % or just "pass".

It tells you on the screen and you get a printout. It just says "pass".
