Hey Mel_p,

I haven't calculated my points yet (just started the application process). Do you happen to know the recommended book to use when studying for the PSB?

Mel_p · Nov 6, 2014

Yea I'm just starting the process too. I didn't get the book recommend by cfcc I got the Barons book offline and it's been helpful! Are you as nervous as I am?

I'm really nervous about this test hahahh I've been hearing that the reading and spelling are the hardest

Mel_p · Nov 6, 2014

I spoke with someone that took it this semester already and they said that was the hardest and also the longest portion of the test but that they scored in the 90th percentile so that's good. He said the majority of the spelling was words he had never seen before.

That's what scares me. I'm sure we will do fine as long as we prepare. Are you also applying to the RIBN program?

Mel_p · Nov 11, 2014

I am not applying to the RIBN program I'm just going to do the ADN and if I don't get in I'll apply for LPN and do the bridge program to RN it takes the same amount of time as just going straight through the ADN program. How about you?

I'm applying to the RIBN program and ADN and if all else fails I'll apply to the LPN and do a bridge program

Hello! I am also applying for the 2015 ADN program. Have ya'll taken the PSB or scheduled to take it? I am waiting until January to apply so I can get some extra study time in! I took it last year and did not get in to the ADN program but got into the LPN program but declined my seat so that I could hopefully get into ADN this year. The PSB really isn't too bad, the science portion is what ruined my score. I have been out of school for 6 years, so all of the questions in the science portion were like another language to me! But I have taken some biology courses since the test last year in hopes of a better score this year! I used the book that CFCC recommends and it helped me a lot in the other portions of the test.

Hi KDM83!

So what happens when you do you intent to apply? Do you HAVE to scheduled a test for the next available date or are we able to pick a date that works for us?

I also got the book that was recommended along with the Barron book to study.

When you go in to do your intent they schedule you in the next psb exam. So usually whichever month you apply is the month you take your test, unless for some reason that test is full then they will schedule you into the next psb.
