Ahh. Our school limits to 2 attempts. I am hoping to do a lot better on the second. I made a 95 on the online assessment so I was shocked to get an 80.6 on the real one. I think I may have just had a bad testing day. My daughter was up all night the night before the test so that may have played a part. I am trying to get volunteer experience lined up before my interview (our school has a 1 yr wait after application so I have a year to gain experience). Do you think taking Spanish would help me as well? I need to do whatever I can to be more competitve since my TEAS isn't great. I do have 2 yrs of French already but it isn't like we have a lot of French people here!

My school requires a composite score 75% and you have to have a 70 or above in reading and 65 in the math section...I am taking mine next week for the third third time...

Just out of curiousity, what schools are requiring the NET? I got in the 98th percentile on the NET, but only have an 87.7% on the TEAS which is beyond sub-standard here in California. I'd really like to apply to schools requiring the NET so I don't have to re-take the TEAS a third time (the first time I got an 83.5%). I only took the NET once, though.

I am in Georgia so it would probably be easier for you to retake the TEAS than move LOL Here Georgia Perimeter College and Georgia State University take the NET. Both are switching over to the TEAS next year though.

I am glad I don't live in CA! It is hard to believe 87.7 is substandard there. Maybe it isn't the same test?! The avg TEAS score nationally is 74. Then again I don't know anyone personally (besides myself...sigh...) that has made under an 85. I am almost 30 though and haven't taken any maths or sciences (other than anatomy) in over 10 years.

At Charity SON in New Orleans, the min.is 70 and you are allowed to take it 2x. The avg score for the program was less than 68 when I took it in Jan.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy out here in California. Really. It's so incredibly competitive here that people are on waitlists for 4+ years trying to get in to a BSN program. An 87.5% is absolutely beyond sub-standard if you want to get in. Last semester, one of our state schools sent out rejection letters to applications with a 4.0 GPA, a second language, volunteer experience, and paid hospital work experience because there were so many applicants that met all of those "required" needs. All optional work has become completely necessary here if you want to even stand a chance at getting in. It's rough--I'm even considering going out of state!

I think that sounds like a good idea. I know my school (Kennesaw State University) is the most competitive in the state. There are people with 4.0s that are turned away here as well. But some people get in on other merits. I am hoping to be one of those people. My GPA is good (not 4.0 though) and I hope to bring up my TEAS. I do have a year (2 semesters) of foreign language, an associate degree in education, and I am about to start volunteer work. So I just hope and pray to get in. I am also trying to get A's in all of my pre-reqs. So far so good. All I can do is hope I can impress them during the interview. I know I can try other schools as a backup plan but my choice is to stay at my current school. I will do anything it takes to get in where I am taking my pre-reqs!!!

My community college gives you "points" based on your score on the TEAS. Top scoring gets 20 points and they go down from there. These points are used along with points for classes taken, being a CNA, etc. to determine placement in the class or not. The higher your points, the more likely you are to get a spot.
Coastal Carolina may not technically be considered wait listed, but since there are so many people here (Marine town of course) competition is no small matter. I almost feel like its more pressure to score well because not only do I have to pass, I have to get top scores in order to get the points to be out everyone else. Fortunately I don't test until November (for Fall '10 admission). Lots of time to study... and worry.
