I took the TEAS V to get into a local BSN program, but 2 hours after being accepted into the spring 2016 program, my husband walked in the door telling me the military was moving us to Alaska! So, here I am in Alaska trying to get into this local BSN program and they only accept the Kaplan exam (how convenient :sniff:).

University of Alaska recommends the Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam (6th Ed.) book, but they failed to leave out the "s" at the end of "exam" in their notes. I went and bought the book thinking its for that exam since, you know, it has KAPLAN in the name, but low-and-behold it's non-specific to any nursing exam:no:. Reviews on multiple websites said that it didn't help at all for the Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam, and now I'm over here wondering what the heck the actual format of the exam will be like.

The study guide for the TEAS V was Uh-MAZZINGGG, and I ended up making a 94 with a 100% on the science portion, because I went through the entire book 4 times and did all of the TEAS V websites exams (they're worth every penny!!). But alas I cannot find anything specific to the Kaplan exam ONLY. :cry: I want a study guide with material similar to that test and an overview of what type of questions I will see on that test, instead of studying physics for hours in this booklet when there's no physics even on the Kaplan!

Anyone have any good material they used for the Kaplan Entrance Exam that didn't seem to waste your time on unnecessary material? I'm going crazy over here searching the dangerous depths of Google and Amazon, so I'm hoping my fellow nursing students can reel me back in! :drowning:

Specializes in ICU.

How long will you be in Alaska? Will you be able to complete a program? Programs don't transfer credits in the middle of a program, so just make sure you will be there long enough to complete.
