The test itself covers a wide range of things. Math, Reading, Science and English; All of which cover a variety of areas. I found the Science area the most challenging, as you are tested in 4 different areas of science, (Life, Chemical, Physical and Anatomy) plus scientific reasoning and general science.

Unlike some others, I did find the book useful. I had seen similar questions from the test in the book. Most people however, prefer the online versions of the test to study by. I have not accessed those yet, but hope to before I retake.

Hope I answered your question! Where do you plan to apply?
which online practice did they study from. i am going to apply in gary. r u all an lpn already and going to go into transition, thanx

If anyone else wants to go, let me know!
I may possibly go to this one with you to hear about the new stuff too Let me know for sure, oh nursing info session buddy!

I am thinking that the online resource that most people use is ATI, http://www.atitesting.com/ , it is the company that designs the book that Ivy Tech sells and the test itself. When you purchase the book you gain access to the site for a couple of practice tests I believe, but I am pretty sure you could just purchase site access for sample tests if you wanted to.

Good luck with your application in Gary! Which program are you applying for? Personally, I am hoping to get into the ASN program in Indy. I currently work in accounting, so this is quite the switch for me

Yep! You can purchase the 2 practice tests for $30 on the website. It kinda helped to get the feel of how the test was set up. I got an 85 on my first try with no studying. So...I am going to retake it again, but I am not applying until next year for the Fall '10 start. So, for now, I will spy on you guys and live vicariously through you!

LOL Kara, yep we can be buddies at another info session! I currently am definitely planning on going to that one. I just won't fill out their little form since I already filled it out twice, they will think I'm nuts for going to a third session LOL.

MistyMiss, I'm gonna PM you. . . I too am changing careers in a major way.

I wish there was a way to know the point range! Unfortunately, we will probably never know what the exact range was, even after the selections are made.

Here are some stats for Indy, just to keep everyone interested since it's been a well kept secret.

For the Spring 09 class there were 205 applicants with an average score of 199 for RN and 170 for PN

For the Fall 09 class there were 340 applicants with an average score of 206 for RN and 190 for PN.

Just to give you an idea how competitive it is at Indy.

Would you mind sharing your source? Your numbers seem to follow a logical course, but given your previous posts, I am more than a little skeptical.
