Re: UTHSCSA spring 2010 hopefuls!

Okay so i completed my questionnaire and sent it in, but I was a little puzzled by the fact that they only allow 600 characters maximum per question (not 600 words). Doesn't that seem a little low? I know they have to go through a lot of these things and probably don't want to be reading pages and pages worth of answers, but I was just wondering if anyone else had thought about this. So I guess we follow the saying "less is more".

Either way I end up putting in tons of time. I've only crafted 3 answers and it took me well over two hours to get it to sound just right. I'll finish up tomorrow.

Re: UTHSCSA spring 2010 hopefuls!

Finished also! Ha I found it difficult to revise everything to under 600 characters (including spaces!) and being able to say everything I wanted to say in order to fully answer the question while using specific exampls and evidence! Phew. Glad that's over lol....now the TEAS yayyyyyyyyyyyyy.
If any has takin it let us know how it compares to the practice ones and if there is a calculator on the computer you can use or if that's just a myth haha.
