UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Greetings!

I am applying to UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013. Anybody else?

Oh great thanks! Hopefully I wont have to worry too much about brushing up on physiology since I just finnished the class. Did you use the Mcgraw Hill practice tests? I cant decide if I want to drop the 110 for the package from ATI or just buy the study manual from amazon and the Mcgraw Hill tests... which would be about 30 bucks cheaper. Ugh... applying is so expensive lol

I also used the McGraw hill book as a reference - you'll need it, go beyond the ATI book for science. But I didn't do any of their practice tests, maybe I should have? Lol. If the package includes the 2 online tests and the book go for it. I paid everything separately, didn't think I would use the online test and I'm sure if I bought the package I could of saved money. I bought the McGraw hill book and HESI review book on my iPad kindle to save some money!

Thats what I figured.. I was thinking about just splurging and getting it all haha (I feel so cheap). The practice tests for Mcgraw are only around 10$ anyways.. deffinetly a good idea buying the kindle version so ill probably just do that as well!

Your HESI review book is a good resource too!

Took the HESI today and over all I got an 89%. In all honesty, right when I began the test, I couldn't wait for it to be over. I think I was still drained from yesterday's TEAS. I spent 3 hours taking the TEAS, I took 2 hours for the HESI. I didnt give it my all but I'm pretty happy with A&P score. I haven't taken anatomy yet so I was surprised (at my school they dont combine A&P as a class). The kicker though - I signed up through Baylor, thinking I was still interested at the time to apply there, changed my mind but kept the test, since I can just transfer scores. Well, Baylor doesn't require CT and it wasn't even listed, so now I have to go back, pay the fee and take the CT section. I was worried if I had to reschedule I would have to take the whole test but I called evolve, and they said it wasn't necessary. I'll actually go trough the uthsc and sign up through them.

Yikes! So are you just going to re-take the whole thing? 89 isn't too bad of a score especially since you did take a 4 hour test the day before! I was so drained just after taking the HESI! I didn't think you could just take one section but I hope thats the case! I would hate to have to re-take any of those tests. :/

According to who I spoke to on the phone at evolve, I didn't have to take the other portions again. I just don't know if I sign up for version 1 or version 2. Why couldn't all the sections be on there and you take what you need? I'll have to pay $90 to take a section that's going to take, what 30 min??? Oh and then I checked again, my score is 86.9, which is weird... When I clicked out of the test my score was 84.6, check at home it was an 89, last few times I checked it was an 86. I know I'm not imagining things, so I don't know what's going on with the system. Honestly, if I can get a really good CT score, then I won't worry with my 86%. I know I COULD do better taking it more serious/more focused, but dang it, I dont want to lol. We'll see. They let you take up to 2 times.

Did you check with UTHSC? I thought I heard from somewhere that if you dont take one section you have to just retake the whole exam.. not sure if thats 100% true or not.. I may have seen that in a FAQs somewhere. That is pretty stupid they would charge you another 90$ for just the CT section.. hmm..

Honestly, I'm just annoyed and dont even want bother with it until after next week. So much for a stress free vacation.

I definetly hear you on that one! Don't worry about it and try to have fun!! Enjoy it before you have to stress over classes again! Everything will work out :).

Thanks! I think I finally recovered lol. If I have to retake it, then I have to retake it. I think I'll wait until maybe October/November. By then I can study and give it my full, instead of half-a** it like the first attempt. Scheduling back to back tests was not a good idea lol but I'll be ok :)

Thank you carlajeanx3. That’s helps a lot and you have awesome stats. I have one question to those who are applying to UT-Houston, did you all submit your application in MyUT website before taking the HESI test? We can start submitting our application now for fall 2013.right? And also starting from September 1, I think the non-refundable application fees will be $60. (now its only $30).
