Carrington College Reno,NV Entrance Exam

Published

I am taking the entrance exam next month and it sucks because the entrance exam is no longer the HESI test for reading, math and vocab. It is a kaplan test for reading, writing and math now and there is no study guide like the HESI did. Does anyone have suggestions to what I can study off of?

Well that makes me feel a little better :) your scores were great by the way! Congrats, I'm sure you will get in! Please keep any more information coming our way and I'll do the same!

I used the Kaplan entrance exams study guide that I bought from amazon. You could also get it from Barnes and noble. They have a lot of resources there in the nursing section

I took the test in February and got in for the summer semester, all I used was the Kaplan study guide. It was really helpful with math. But not so helpful with the writing portion. Barnes and nobles has a whole section for nursing with study guides. Hope this helps!

How is the Kaplan test? The one I remember them having was Hesi. Is it a lot different? Easier? Harder?

i realize this is a little late. it is quite different in a number of ways. they only test you on reading, writing (grammar/punctuation) and basic algebra. i studied from the kaplan book, you absolutely dont need to know any geometry/physics whatever, just focus those decimals and fractions. reading and comprehension and writing i actually got SAT books and studied from them.
