KAPLAN vs TEAS V test

Life throws some unexpected turns, doesn't it?

I was accepted to our local universities BSN program for spring 2016. Yay, right? Well, I received that letter of acceptance at 9:30am on a Wednesday morning a while back, and I waited for my husband to come home on lunch to show him the letter, bursting with anticipation! Too bad that, before I could even show him my acceptance letter, he handed me his orders to be stationed at a base 4000 miles away at the beginning of next year. What. The. Heck. :eek:

SO! Now that I'm over the fact I took a bunch of classes that other nursing programs don't require, and I'm finally calming down on the fact that the BSN program at the university where I'm moving to only accepts 16 students A YEAR, I need a bit of advice!

My local university required the TEAS V test, and I made a 94. The BSN program where I am moving to requires the KAPLAN. Pretty much life loves throwing extra curve balls, so I now have to take the KAPLAN. Has anyone taken both? How did the tests compare in terms of difficulty? I realize the grading scale is different, but I'm just trying to get an idea of what I am up against here, since I have to go through this ridiculous stress of getting into a nursing program AGAIN.

I've contemplated throwing in the towel, but I gotta just keep pushing forward with this speed bump. And maybe cry a little. :cry:
