Hello!

Are there any other CTC hopefuls applying for Spring 2018? I know we can not submit apps until September 15th, but I believe being proactive and networking before hand is a great way to inspire and talk about the process... I take the NLN Sep 11th. Have you all taken it before? What is there to expect?... is it vastly different than the TEAS??

Sooooo Hurricane Irma didn't think I was prepared enough for it today lol. My test had to be rescheduled due to the school closing today & tomorrow. I won't know my rescheduled date until Wednesday :/ but I'm thinking it's going to be next Monday, the 18th.

Atleast it gives you more time to review! I'm sure you will be fine! Can you let me know how it goes and if it's anything like the teas? Thank you so much. I'm just stressing haha

I'm glad I found this thread! I'm applying for spring 2018 as well!

I'm so excited (and nervous) that we can finally apply. I took the NLN in august. I have never taken the TEAS test so I can't compare it. It was a lot easier than the ACT... Good luck you two!

Is there any tips for us? How was the reading /science section that's the most I'm freaking out about

Up Vote Up Vote ×

I got the book they recommend on the homepage. It helped me a lot!!!

Science was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I was scared of anything regarding physics/chemistry, but there were barely any questions about those topics, and if so they were easier ones.

Reading wasn't bad either. Just keep an eye on the clock! With reading I tend to try to understand every detail, which takes up way too much time.

Things I learned when studying for the ACT (applies to the NLN too) are:

Answer every question, even if you don't know the answer. You might just guess right and earn a point!

Reading: Scan the questions plus answers first, then scan the text for keywords while you are reading the text. That way you know what to look for. (You can go back and forth between the questions for one text/passage)

Take practice tests.

Get rest the night before the test and don't try to cram.

I hope this helps!

We're glad you found this thread too! Lol what did you score on the NLN if you don't mind me asking? I know we have to get at least a 115 but is that hard to obtain??? Being as to how you have taken it already. I'm so ready for this test to be over! Lol

I scored a 153... It is definitely possible to score 115 and above, but I really think it is important to go in there with a positive mindset. Take a few practice tests so you know what to expect. The actual test was a lot like the practice tests!

Is anybody else still finishing up their pre-req's? I asked the school if it is ok to finish them during this semester, and they said yes. But I'm still a little scared that in the end that will cost me the acceptance.
