Bergen Community College Evening Program Spring 2016

Hey @mdavidson1 were you able to ask about the chemistry requirement when you met with admissions?

Good decision to register just in case. If you can't get anyone on the phone I would go to Bergen to get your question answered. I know if you cannot use your high school chemistry class to satisfy the requirement, their college substitute course is CHM 100 but they do not provide any specific details on whether or not they'll take other courses so it's best to figure that out now. To give you guys some insight on the hesi, i did not think it was as hard as many people made it out to be. However, I started studying about 2-3 months prior. I know many people say the review book Bergen recommends did not help them as much, but it was just fine for me and I was able to do very well.

Also if anyone needs the review book message me ! I no longer need it so I'm selling mine

Hey! So, I spoke with a lady that is in charge of admissions to the nursing program. Higher level chemistry courses are permitted to satisfy the requirement. If you don't mind me asking how well did you do on the Hesi? I want to shoot for over an 85, so any information would help a ton! Like, what type of questions should I look for, and what should I focus on when I study.

That's good to hear! It must be a relief to get that question answered and out of the way. Focus on the sciences the most. They contained the most broad questions out of the other topics. If you speak English fluently, do not stress about vocab and grammar. Most of the questions were simple to find the answers that made the sentence sound complete. If you're a math person like me, the book was a great review as it was for most of the topics and it will definitely help you achieve a higher than average score as it did for me. Start studying early and you will do extremely well. Good luck to you and everyone else!

Yes, I am beyond relieved! Ive heard that it isn't so bad as most people believe it to be. Thanks, and good luck to you as well on the start of your first semester!

Hey guys. Just sent in my application. I'm currently retaking A&P I (been over 5 yrs) and scheduled to take A & P II in the fall. Any recommendations as far as study material for the entrance exam? I've been told it makes or breaks you getting in.

i just saw this post... girl i will be willing to study with you i have been studying for this exam since april!!!!! if we can meet up or anyone on this forum that would be great i get so much anxiety studying i have been studying so much different material

if you are still game i would love to have a study partner I've been studying for this exam since march/april and I'm driving myself crazy!!!!!!!

is anyones admission status say incomplete??? does it change once we receive an invite to the hesi exam???....... I've filled out everything accurately currently an enrolled student, done all my pre reqs except my AP2 will be in progress due to the fact i will be taking it this fall.

What have you been using to help you prepare for the exam? I was looking at the GPA's from the previous classes and I am on the lower end of the accepted group. So I really need to crush this exam.
