Total points is 28.

GPA = 0-12 pts (4.0 = 12 pts)

Kaplan = 0 - 11 pts (100% = 11 pts)

Transfer credits for pre-reqs :

0-8 credits transferred = 2 pts

9-16 credits transferred = 1 pt

16+ credits transferred = 0 pts

Repeated Courses:

0 repeats = 3 pts

Lose a point for every repeat, withdrawal, failure until reaching 0 points.

Developmental Ed. courses are not considered in point scoring

As far as the test goes, I used the Kaplan Entrance Exams study guide from the Baker bookstore. I think it was $19. It goes way more in depth than was necessary for the test. Mainly know your basic math concepts, some pretty general A&P, reading was pretty basic (read a passage and answer ?'s about it) and writing, although I bombed it I can't think of a single way to study it unless you could pick the brains of those that wrote it! I was totally lost and confused...

There is more info on the Kaplan on AN, try a search, and anything else I can help with just let me know!

What about the double weighted GPA courses....i.e. A&P, patho, holistics...

P B and J · Aug 30, 2011

As far as I know, they add all the final course grades, adding sciences twice, and figure an amended GPA. This is the GPA they use to figure your points.

Double weighted courses are A&P 1 and 2, Micro, Patho, Pharm, and Holistics (Nutrition).

I am LPN to RN and since they changed everything, pharm doesn't count for me anymore which really kind of made me mad considering I already had it at OCC on top of taking 3 other classes....UGH! So if I wanted to figger it out I would add my gpa for the science classes twice to get my average right..... :confused:

P B and J · Aug 30, 2011

Yep, That should be correct.

NoAverageLPN · Aug 30, 2011

I wonder if they have any idea how frustrating this wait is......

I just took the kaplan TODAY! how do i know how many points the kaplan is? I scored a 79..how do i figure out the point value? Thanks!

chellehiller · May 15, 2012

Well, I figured it out...and they are doing everything different this quarter. I have 92.65 of 100 pts and that includes 60 pts for 4.0 plus 5pts for no transfer and 27.65 pts for a 79 on kaplan. I'm hoping I make the cut!! I've been working so hard.

ang829 · May 23, 2012

I'm sure you will make the cut!! 92.65 seems like you are in very good standings! Good job!

Just wondering... How did you figure out how may points you received for the Kaplan exam? I will be taking the Kaplan in June and I am just trying to figure out how well I need to do on the Kaplan to be in a good position points wise.

Also, do you have any studying tips for the Kaplan exam? Anything is appreciated! Thanks so much! =]

This wait is absolutely killing me. It has been like one huge count down since I took my kaplan... I worked my tushy off to get the grades I got, and out of a total of 100 points possible I know I have 92.52 points. Not that it even matters. Right at the moment it is nothing but a number as there are not averages to work with... the wait is killing me though really. My classes were as follows. Comp 1 : A Comp 2: A Speech : A- Psych 111: A A&P1: A A&P2: A- Nutrition: A- Patho: A- Into to Micro: A Algebra: B Both Computer courses were A's - I also scored an 86% on my Kaplan- I am so nervous about getting into the program I am almost sick! How did you guys do? Are you feeling confidant?
