My school takes the 50 top nln scores, and gpa. I'm glad I'm not the only one hoping 50 people didn't score higher than me! (I know that's horrible!)

That is a great score and just so you know, it is normal to worry - I think even if you got a 99%, your still worrying because you just never know how well everyone else will do!!

Hang in there. I'm sure if that is a good score for your school, you won't have any problems getting in!!! Good luck! (I got in with a 92%)

I know you are completely right! I guess let the worrying continue! I should find out mid-April! Thanks for the encouragement!

hi,

I am taking the NLN in a few weeks and am studying like crazy at the moment.

I have a question, I am taking the test on the computer, not the paper version.

Do they give you a paper copy of the test as well when you are taking the test on the computer? I would assume the computer is where you enter your answers but HOPEFULLY I will also have a paper copy that I can write on, cross incorrect answers off etc...

any last minute tips will help as well!

Can anyone tell me what it's like to take the NLN on the computer versus the paper version?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I took the computer version. I prefered it because I got my results right away, as opposed to having to wait a few weeks for the paper results to come in the mail. But if you're not comfortable staring at a computer screen for a couple of hours, you may not like it. The words started to blur at one point for me lol, but it wasn't too horrible.

There isn't a paper version of the test available, its completely on the computer. You can mark a question if you want to come back to it later if you have the time.

Hope this helps

Thanks, this does help. That is sort of what I was afraid of though, that there wasn't a paper version to go along with it. When I take an exam I like to immediately cross out incorrect answers or circle words that are important etc so I am not too crazy about taking it on the computer, though I do want to have my score right away.

I'm studying my butt off but let's just hope that I'm good at guessing that day!

i thought i did bad on the test. but......got a 136 composite and in the 95 percentile

There isn't a paper version available while you are taking the computerized one.
