Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam

Published

Has anyone taken the Kaplan nursing entrance exam? I previously took the net, and applied to the nursing program at Baker for entrance into the program for the fall. Unfortunately, I did not make the cut. I now have to take the Kaplan nursing entrance exam. I bought the Kaplan study guide; I have the barons, as well as the evolve, (for the HESI). With the net the composite score was based on math and reading comp only, a few science and no chemistry. This new Kaplan makes the net seem like a kindergarten entrance test. I can't seem to find any websites or threads specifically on what the Kaplan test actually is about, how it is scored, or any information pertaining to just the Kaplan test. Can anyone help? I will be taking this test in early October. Any information will be appreciated. :yeah:

I just took the test on Friday. I got an 81% overall. I got a 96% in math, a 95% in reading, a 76% in writing (tough repetitive questions), and a 50% in science (I just started A&P I & II this semester and that is pretty much what is covered in science). The study guide seemed like a complete waste to me. I purchased it but it wasn't that helpful. I would definitely know A&P for the Kaplan!

I just got an 82% today and I'm depressed. I thought I was prepared! I think NAU and U of A are out of reach now. Too competitive.

I feel the same way depressed I tuck the Kaplan on Tuesday and was surprised that I got a 85% overall. I felt prepared but don't know where I went wrong. I do feel sad that I was not able to apply for the spring semester at NAU but don't think I want to do anything else other than nursing so its hard to just quit all together. Anyone has some word of wisdom to help keep Kaplan re-taker motivated?

Which test did they use? A TEAS version or the NLN pre-entrance exam?

Believe or not...scores around 65% and 70% are considered good in the Kaplan exam....anything above that is GREAT!...sometimes it doesn't matter if your overall is high because some schools required a 65% or higher in the science part. Therefore, aim for a good score but emphasize in A&P, chemistry , and all the science. My school requires a 65% or above in science, so if you get an overall of 85% but a 60% in science, you're automatically disqualified . Check with the program's requirements.

I take the test this upcoming Saturday and I am freaking out!! What should I focus on in the math section? Just fractions, conversions, and stuff like that?

As for the Reading comprehension, what were most of the questions like? Main Idea? stuff like that?

What was mostly on the math section? Can you give a sample question? What about the reading section? Were the questions pretty straight forward?
