DCCC Fall 2008

Published

anyone here starting DCCC's nursing program in the fall? i am and i cant wait!

:yeah:

ok, i got my clinical assignment. my instructor will be maria kalinowski on west wing I. know anything about her?

I don't know her, I did hear that they have a few new instructors. Good luck!

I could not believe how hard the Reading Comp was... it just blew my mind. I am going for the day program.

I should have planned just a little better and taken the test a little earlier so I could get one more attempt in before handing in my application packet. I had a really hard time with Math when I started studying for the NET, so I was working with a tutor. Fortunately, the math tutoring paid off. I am not sure HOW you get a better score on the Reading portion. I don't get how others have scored in the 90s, it just blows my mind.

I wish you the best of luck, let me know how you make out!

i know what you mean. when i looked at the practice test in the study guide and some online ones that were posted, i did pretty good. then when i took the test, the whole timed thing got to me i think. it seem harder to me. my first passage on microbiology stuff stumped me a little, then the day/night people passage wasn’t bad, then the ear passage i was only able to get through a few questions before it timed out. i should have just guessed at the end. yeah, it seems like most people do so well on the reading portion, it just blows my mind, too.

did you at least get the minimum score for each section to petition? if so, good luck!

thank you. hopefully i’ll have good news by the time i take my 2nd net test.

I squeaked by with a 70 in Reading (which is the minimum) and got a 93 on the Math. My composite is 82, so I am just hoping and praying that it is high enough to get me into the program.

The one good thing about you taking the test the 2nd time is you're already familiar with the reading material, so that's a plus. Knowing I only had 30 minutes was a stress, and at one point I completely and totally froze, just looking at the screen. I had to snap myself out of it so I could move on... I was like a deer caught in headlights. I wish you the best!
