Can't Stop the Feeling - Wellbrooke of Westfield

Great Job! Way to Go!

Congratulations! Kristen Silva of Massachusetts recently passed the NCCAP national exam with flying colors.

I asked her what advice she would give to other students.

"Schedule the exam for as soon as possible after completing MEPAP, take it at a time in the day when you're normally wide awake and get a good nights sleep. Use Quizlet, (Jane Anderson, provides a Quizlet program for her students to use in studying for the National Exam) arrive a little early to review the material one last time before going in!

Review the questions before ending the test. It's a fairly easy exam because the MEPAP classes do prepare you with the information you need. Jane Anderson, http://activitydirector.weebly.com is the online instructor for the MEPAP course."

Thank you so much!

Congratulations!
