So, this morning I took my PAX PN exam and I got a 127!! I only needed to get a 96 that I was excited to see my passing score. The test was pretty easy but I did order the study guide from NLN so that was a huge help. The admissions advisor told me to really focus on the verbal portion of the test because they really look at the score when reviewing for admissions. The math was ironically my best score, I was terrified that I was going to fail being that you can NOT use a calculator... I've basically had a calculator glued to my hair since 6th grade. I focused a lot of studying basic math and doing tons of practice questions and even use Khan Academy online to help refresh my brain. The science is what got me I studied the science portion but thought that there would be a lot more medically related questions but it was surprisingly more biology based chemistry and cell functions.

After the test I met with my assigned admissions advisor and he was really pleased with my scores so I am very hopefully that I will be getting an acceptance letter (fingers crossed). He said that the admissions counselor meet every 2 weeks but there was a possibility that they might meet today (june 18th). So there is a possibility that I might have a decision tomorrow if not within the nest 2- 3 weeks I should hear something back. I have applied for the Oct 2nd session. so fingers crossed that I get in and maybe I will be seeing some of you there with me.

Good luck to everyone that is applying for nursing school and taking entrance exams!!

Woohoo - Congratulations!!! What a huge accomplishment!! I take my exam tomorrow morning, and feel seriously underprepared. Thanks for posting, it gives me hope that I can pass since I, too, focused on verbal and math. If accepted, I'll be a classmate, since I'm applying for the Oct class.

Good luck and hope to "see" you in October! -Dee
