Hello All! I wanted to start a new thread for all of the Connecticut Community College Fall 2016 applicants. The deadline is a month away!! Lets share our scores and hope that all of our hard work and dedication will pay off!!!
Nursing GPA 3.55
Teas 74.7
AP 1 B
i wish I had done better on the Teas and in AP, but whats done is done and all I can do now is pray! I have selected Norwalk CC as my first choice and Gateway as my second. I am excited to hear from you all !I hope we all make it!!!
What apps? I plan on taking the TEAS soon and would like to find alternative ways to study, like that.
I have an android phone and the apps I used were "TEAS V Exam Prep 2016" by Pocket Prep, Inc and "TEAS V Mastery" by Higher Learning Technologies, Inc. They were great because they also tracked how well you do in each category so you can know where you need to focus. They do have some in app purchases to unlock more questions and features. I hope that helps!
As I told another person, I have an android phone and the apps I used were "TEAS V Exam Prep 2016" by Pocket Prep, Inc and "TEAS V Mastery" by Higher Learning Technologies, Inc. They were great because they also tracked how well you do in each category so you can know where you need to focus. They do have some in app purchases to unlock more questions and features, so keep that in mind, but I do think it's worth it.
The book I used that was really helpful was the "TEAS V Secrets Study Guide" by Mometrix (its yellow and black like one of those 'For dummies' books). It has a section in the beginning that runs down how many questions and how much time per section that you're given (really helpful when running through the practice tests), as well as web addresses to Review Videos that you can watch, and explanations and rundowns of all the concepts that you should know for each section. It's actually almost half the book before you get to the 3 practice tests, and each test is followed by an answer section where each question is explained.
I took the first test before I read anything, no pressure, no timing . . . just so I could see what I was already sure of and to find out what I needed to brush up on. From there I read up on and reviewed what I was weak on and used that info to incorporate the apps on my phone and focused on those questions. I would say once you have a better handle on what you need to work on and you're doing okay with the app questions, try test #2 with no pressure and no timing, and see where you stand. Brush up some more on what you still need to work on and when you're ready, do test #3 timed. You should see some pretty good improvement over your previous scores. I really hope this helped.
Hey guys, I got into the Capital program for the fall. I plan to work full time through at least the first two semesters, anyone else doing the same? I am excited to learn but my anxiety about being able to juggle work and school has really taken over; they practically laughed me out of the counseling office when I told them.

For those of you on the Waitlist for ncc (Norwalk) I spoke to the person responsible of the admissions and they should be letting people know whether they got a seat the first week of June. Apparently it was a really competitive year because a lot of LPN's applied. The good news is that the LPN's won't take up seats for Nursing101 which opens up more seats for those on the Waitlist. I was told they normally go about 15-20 people in each year.
