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?

crschreib, have you taken this test yourself? How did you score? Is it really just basic algebra? I heard somewhere that it had physics and chemistry?

yea i took it last summer and i am currently in my second semester there! the math has no geometry, physics, or chemistry. the math is all about fractions, decimals, percentages, and being able to convert to and from fractions/decimals/percentages. there's some basic measurement conversions as well, as in, given x amount of gallons how many pints are there type of thing. i got a pre-algebra for dummies book and studied from that only for the most part. personally, the kaplan nursing entrance exam book wasnt really helpful at all for the math portion...

Just wondering, how are classes going? I've contemplated Carrington for a long time.
