AHT

Published

How is the AHT different from the RN pre-entrance exam? Or is it the same thing? I am preparing to apply to CCP and I'd never even heard of the AHT until I started reading posts here regarding Community College of Philadelphia. I have no idea how to prepare for it and I feel foolish for having to ask but came up with very little info via Google so here I am.

:confused:

The AHT is just the entrance exam specifically for CCP. Instead of using the the other entrance exams they make you take their own test. It is a very quick test, about 45 min., composed of a math, reading comprehension, and grammar questions. It is based on speed and accuracy. In October of 2010, they will be holding info sessions on applying to the nursing program where you will get info on how to apply, the prereqs for applying, info on the AHT, and the actual application packet. There is really no one book to get to review for the AHT, but I believe they hold review sessions in a learning lab on campus specifically for the test. Once you send in your nursing application, which is due mid-Jan, they will send you a letter telling you when they have scheduled you to take the AHT. You can reschedule the test only once, I believe, but they will just randomly assign another date and time, so it is better to just take it when they schedule you. I hope that helped a bit and if you have any more questions feel free to ask me. I just went through this whole process this past semester.
