I'm very curious can someone help answer me on what the entrance exam was like? i bought one of the books they recommend and im lost already so can someone explain what the entrance test was like

Hey EMS Chick,

I wouldn't worry too much about the entrance exam. To me it was mostly basic high school stuff. For example in the reading section you had to read a passage and answer some questions. I didn't find the material too dificult. Try visiting a few GED prep websites to brush up on some stuff that you might have forgotten, but overall I wouldn't fret too much.

i took the test and I flunked! please take a look at my thread titled, "BCIT TEST". PLEASE!

Hi there! This message is for those who have already been in the program since Feb. 2009. I am currently looking into the evening LPN program at BCIT and am extremely excited at the prospect, however, I have several reservations and am hoping that you gals can help How much homework is a lot (say, in a manner of hours?), how many Saturdays do you have to attend?, and most importantly, what is the attendance policy? I have three kids (15 1/2, 12, and 1 yr), my husband will be home with them but am worried about emergencies!! I haven't even taken the entrance exam yet, because I'm fretful of the commitment, but am SOOOOOO EAGER to start!!
Thanks again

I am in the day class but I am pretty sure that the attendance requirements are the same. You get exactly 8 days. Even a lateness after that and you will be automatically kicked out of the program. They are very strict about the attendance policy. As for homework, like I said b/f I'm in the day class so it may be different, but we don't get much homework. It really is no time to get it done if we did. We have 1-2 tests every day. Some days maybe even 3 tests. It is a lot of work. But myself and many of my other class mates are married/single with kids and we are all making it work. Short term sacrifice for a long term gain.
