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:

could you guys tell me what study guide you used for the Kaplan entrance exam? i am going to take the exam around September but i want to be ready since my school only takes 10 students in for the nursing program each semester so it is a lot of competition, any advice on the test would be highly appreciated!:nurse:

I took the Kaplan today for Carrington College and I scored a 91.5%. This score only includes writing, math, and reading as Carrington does not test science. Would this score be enough to hopefully get me in? I scored a 96 in math, a 95 in reading, and a 81 in writing. We were tested on 71 out of the 91 total questions.

bgg1 thank you! I wasn't sure what typical scores were for the kaplan. I used the Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exams study guide. I've heard of a lot of people not liking it and recommending the McGraw-Hill study guide instead. I found the math section to be a lot more difficult in the kaplan study guide than on the actual test and that the "writing" section had nothing to do with the writing on the actual exam.

I used the Kaplan entrance exam guide. The book wasnt very helpful with writing portion of the test. I think the reading and writing was more difficult than I thought. Math was easy. Dont use just the Kaplan study guide to study. I did that until last minute and started using a Barron book that helped study a week before the test.

I bought mine at Barnes in Noble. I know Amazon has it for a cheaper price. Also I would look into checking out book from your local library.

Thanks km22. I took the TEAS V in December and lost all hope in the BSN program. I'm scheduled to take it again in 2 weeks. This time, I'm spending more time studying than before. I started 7 weeks ago. I wanted to know how is the Kaplan exam compared to TEAS V.? Also, how many times can u take the Kaplan exam? I plan on taking it the end of Feb or early March. I guess it depends on when they send me the invitation. For those of u who took the TEas V, does the ATI manual help if I were to review it on the side before taking the Kaplan? I'm loosing hope and all comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks
