Pass Your UExcel™|ECE™ Exam
What Are UExcel™ & Excelsior College Nursing Exams (ECE™) & Why SpeedyPrep™?
UExcel™ is a credit-by-exam (CBE) program offered through an alliance between Pearson, an education company, and Excelsior College. UExcel offers 8 exams in a variety of subjects which can help you earn college credit for what you already know.
ECE™ stands for *Excelsior College Examination™. They are a series of eight, three-credit nursing theory tests offered by Excelsior College™ in Albany, New York. This allows LPN/LVNs to test out of these courses in preparation for the associate degree in nursing.
*SpeedyPrep™ Test Prep and the brand RNNusringPrep™ are not affiliated with Excelsior College™.
SpeedyPrep Test Prep provides prep for all the Nursing ECE™ exams, & two UExcel™ exams (Microbiology and Anatomy & Physiology) under the RNNursingPrep™ brand.
Excelsior College has over 50 exams, spanning a wide range of subjects. Text takers do not have to be enrolled at Excelsior College to take a UExcel exam, but they do need to be enrolled to take ECE exams. The age requirement is 18. The ECE is specific to Excelsior’s nursing programs. UExcel exams are accepted at over 900 colleges/universities.
Excelsior College Examinations (or ECE™) are a series of eight, three-credit nursing theory tests offered by Excelsior College™ in Albany, New York. The exams are supported by corresponding online courses. Excelsior™ also offers the Clinical Performance in Nursing Exam, a two-day practical skills exam, as a capstone to the associate degree in nursing.
The exam administration period is typically 3 hours and the tests currently cost between $110 and $335. Each exam usually corresponds to a one or two semester introductory or secondary course on the topic, and many exams provide upper-division credit. Most ECE™ exams are considered equivalent to 3 credits in the semester system.
ECE™ exams are offered through Excelsior College™ and are administered at Pearson™ VUE test centers.*
