Just wrote the written component on saturday...and despite what you might hear...its not that difficult. you do need to study, but after reading a few things on these forums....i psyched myself out thinking i was going to struggle due to being educated abroad (UK). the american exam questions from the o'sullivan study guide are useful for study purposes...but are a lot more difficult than the canadian ones.

books i used:

Magee
NPTE review guide
I had colby and kisner but only read a chapter or two due to running out of time

that was about it, as long as you have internet nearby so you can look things up as you need to you you will be fine. during the exam, even if you have no idea about the answer (which will be less than you might think), you can easily...EASILY narrow it down to 2 that could be right.

with enough preparation this is an easy exam......learn from me.....DO NOT STRESS YOURSELF OUT ABOUT IT....and do not get hung up on little facts, this is a test to essentially determine saftey and to clarify that you have some idea of what you're doing.

good luck, youll do fine
