I was hoping someone made a post soon, lol. I feel so relieved to have passed the exam, I received an 80%. Believe it or not I am still feeling anxious. I hope we don't have to wait till January! I applied for the day program, and have a 3.7 GPA for the 4 pre requisites. I am hopeful we all get in :)

I was waiting for this post! lol! Hiiiii everyone That Kaplan had me stressed out for months, finally did it and got it over it yesterday. Got a 74% overall hope that's enough to get in, I have a 3.9 gpa and I applied for the evening program. Good luck to you all, from looking at all the gpa and Kaplan scores I'm sure you all will get in! And I really hope we don't have to wait until January :angrybird10:

Also, during the time we took the exam, the exams FROZE!!!!! Was anyone in that room with me on Nov 29th, @ 12:30? Has anyone heard from the Chairman of the Program? I plan to go pay a visit to the nursing department just to be proactive on this!

Hi. Thanks everyone for sharing on here!! I think we all did great. And yes the computers crashing during the exam. Omg. Was distracting to say the least. But we worked well under pressure that should count for something

Kathy1415 · Dec 2, 2016

Yes the computers crashing was very distracting!! I just heard from the nursing dept that those who took the exam Nov 29th around 12:30 and noted on their results what happened during the exam will be receiving a phone call from Mr. Sierra to retake the exam!!!!! The new date is I believe Dec 13th!!!

Really? Im not taking the exam again. Guess for those who didn't pass it's a good thing. Kind of an unfair advantage to get a second chance

crzo96 · Dec 2, 2016

I don't think its fair , but perhaps if I was in their position and the computer froze on me then I'd want another chance? Idk, is that only for the certain people who took the exam at that time?

newyork2016 · Dec 2, 2016

Yeah for the 12:30pm on the 29th. My computer froze several times and I had the same distractions...but managed. The time also froze so it's not like you lost time. I just hope that seeing it the 2nd time isnt much easier for those retaking it and the scores all go up...

Kathy1415 · Dec 3, 2016

They are only allowing the people who experienced this problem on November 29th to retake it, if they choose to retake it. I can't speak for others, but my computer froze a few times as well and in one of those times it skipped 3 questions. Because of this inconvenience 3 questions graded as "incomplete" on my grade sheet. If this inconvenience didn't effect your exam in regards to the questions or manipulating the time then I can see why it would be unfair.

newyork2016 · Dec 3, 2016

True. If I wasn't ok with my score I would want a redo too. There was a lot of distractions going on and one of my questions wasn't graded. Good luck to anyone here who is retaking it.

I also took the test on the 29th at 12pm. I was so nervous and couldn't concentrate on the exam, but I dont think I will be retaking it because there's a chance I will get a lower score (I would be so upset at myself lol)The questions I got wrong were mostly writing, and I have no idea what I did wrong. It was very tricky. Plus I didnt have any incomplete, but for whoever did, I totally understand why they would like to retake it.
