Hi , Creating this thread for anyone applying for Spring 2021 at BMCC . I didn’t get in last round so will plan to sit the HESI in December hopefully . Not sure what my PCI is but I got A’s in everything except AP1 which I got a B in . Please share tips or info so we can help each other . I’m in my 40’s and I’ve young kids so this is definitely a career change for me !

@jss1985 Congratulations! It is absolutely a high score and I am sure you will get in just fine.

I was talking to a friend who took the exam before and she said the critical thinking part as long as you have above 700 or 750 she is not sure you are considered. It is taken into consideration because if you don't score the minimum to pass on CT you fail the whole exam.

Calculator is provided by the exam. It's a locked program. 

Pretty easy.

No they are substantial.

 

Now the wait goes. Sigh. Kind of upset that I got an 87. I was hoping for a 90 above. So I don't have to get worried  lmao

its a good score. I got 80 on HESI and pre GPA is 3.7. Do you think I can get inside the program?

I personally found it easier and less stressful. I scored 87.33% overall, but its only based on A&P, math, and reading. The critical thinking I got was 790 and wasn't included in the overall score. 

What I mean to say is I heard the critical thinking test is crucial while you're "in the program" but not to "get in"... But again I need clarification. The 73% minimum is based off of the math, reading and A&P sections and not critical thinking.

My GPA for the PCI courses is 4.0 which, combined with my HESI, brings me to 93.66% PCI, which I feel very good about.

But what im unsure about is my critical thinking score and how that will be factored in. I don't know if theres a cutoff, if I scored high enough in BMCC's eyes or what.

Theres no real way to study for that section being that its not even in any of the HESI guides. I practiced a little bit with some nursing fundamental Qs on quizlet.

We have the same score to the exact digit..what are the odds?!

 

And now we wait... Hopefully not alot of people applied due to the nature it will be online. But I have a rough estimate. 

The exam room has a capacity of 16. There are two sessions each day, she mentioned the exam was from nov 30- dec 6. 16*2 then multiply 6 days. There are 192 applicants 81 of us gets in. 

Goodluck guys!

Hopefully man! What was your critical thinking score?

[son]

How do you get a score for critical only? I have an overall score only.

It shows it to you upon submission before checking your overall graph. 

I got an 830/1000 

Some people got 900+ 

 

I am not sure how she will use critical thinking that makes me even more nervous

[son]

Oh okay yes I checked that I got 930. But I don't think so they look that score because its only cumulative I guess. I am so nervous.

Same man, it has to be a big deal because its included in all 4 sections.  We will find out before 12/21 thats what it said on the board ???. All this waiting.
