Hi everyone

I am a little confused and hope you can help me. I was thinking about applying to Barry's Accelerated program. I looked at their site and all the info however it says no repeats, well i had a c in one of my science courses and retook it and received an A. At the time i originally took this course i was not planning on majoring in Nursing so i did bare minimum but it seems its coming back to hunt me. So my question is since i have a repeat should i just forget about Barry? or do you know of anyone who has gotten in with a repeat? Also the only classes that are required in order to apply are the science courses since i already have a BS? thanks for any and all info you may provide.

I attended their information session on 7/16 they passed the paper out regarding the test but it was not really discussed other then the effective date. It was not the NET at least thats not what they are calling it, from what i recall you have to take it at their school unlike the NET you can take it elsewhere and then bring proof of your grade. When i get home tonight i'll look for the the paper.

Thanks so much for the info! This is somewhat frustrating, since I'm planning on applying to several schools, and it seems like for each one there is a separate admissions test.... so much for getting a "summer break" before I finish my pre-reqs next semester! Is Barry the only school you're applying to?

Hi ladies. I took the test last month. The book they recommend to prepare helped me. The test contains Math, Reading comprehension, Grammar, Vocabulary, Critical Thinking, Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology. There is also a personality profile. Best of luck! :)

Did you find that the book was harder than the actual test? I've taken Hesi practice tests elsewhere online and do much better then the quizzes in the book.

I think the book coincided a lot with the test. But it was more like a refresher, it had general concepts, nothing too in detail. That is how I saw it, but it may be different for others. I used the book and let a friend use it as well and both of us did pretty well, I think it's worth buying.

review." The isbn is 978-1-4160-5635-5. This book was also the one recommended on the flyer given for the test.
