Earlier today I took and passed the pre-assessment for one of my RN-to-BSN courses with a score of 78 percent, which is a full 25 percentage points above the cut score of 53. My program mentor has always allowed me to go ahead and schedule the objective assessment (OA) if I pass the pre-assessment.
However, within minutes of passing the PA, I receive an email from my mentor basically stating that I need to focus on another course first. My term does not end until the beginning of November, so I have ample time to finish both courses. I usually study for the OA courses for a couple of weeks, then I take and pass the OA.
I realize that my mentor's job performance is partly based on how the students perform, but I have never failed an OA. In fact, I always score in the 80s or higher after studying for only a couple of weeks. I just feel I should be able to take the OA and continue to accelerate through the coursework.
