Yes, I think we (DaddyO & I) were the last people to take the Accuplacer; it is now the HESI, which is more complex. I won't say "harder," because the Accuplacer wasn't easy, just based on subjects of more common knowledge. I used the Kaplan boo...
As a student in a A.A.S. course, my GPA simply is what it is....for now. I spent alot of time coveting it for my pre-reqs, but decided toTRY not to stress over it while in the program, as that MOST people end up invariably going down. I went from a 3...

Well, I'm happy to say I made it through Level 1 with flying colors! I have a medical background to fall back on, thank GOODNESS, and I managed to figure out the thinking behind the tests to do well. I'm so happy, I came out with my GPA intact (much ...
