I just took the Kaplan - I made the mistake of flying through it. I am not good with timed tests and always freak that I will run out....then I wind up taking considerably less time. I can't really find anything that states what an acceptable score is. I got a 75% overall, with some of the individual scores not being all that hot (in the 60's), I would assume because I'm an older student and a lot has changed since I took some of these courses (writing/grammar) - courses that I used to make very high grades in. Can anyone clue me in on what is a good composite score for this test?

Just took the Kaplan yesterdayand I asked the test proctor what the average score was (this is the first semester my school has required the Kaplan.. before it was the TEAS) and she said it was averaging around 75, which is the min. score required to even apply for the program here. So I don't know how it is where you are, but a 75 would be considered just fine here :)
