Hi. I am in 's RN to BSN program and have started my first class a month ago and have tried the assessment 2 times and have failed it. I am soooo discouraged and want to quit. I had heard so much positive information on this school that I thought it would be a doable program. I don't feel its doable. If anything its hard. So not like an online course work. You pretty much get access to book for class, read modules and prepare yourself for assessment and if you pass it you get credit and if you fail you retake assessment but there is a but to this because after your second try of not passing you need to pay a 50$ fee for retaking exam:( I wish some people would have mentioned how hard these tests are....:( I soooo would not have started WGU. I don't know what to do:( I am looking into dropping out and starting with GCU... Anyone have any positive advice?

I have to retake a test too for Nutrition. Im wondering how is the retake test. Is the same test or is it a harder test :( thanks!

I am not very good in math and found the pre-assessment difficult. I studied for about 5 weeks and used Kahn Academy online to help with things I did not understand. They give you lots of material to study and reach out to the course mentors and math help line. The math help line was very helpful to me. I passed the OA on the first try and I am not a math person.

Hello I finished stats about a month a ago. My advice is sign up for the cohorts and watch the videos. They were a tremendous help to me.
