So I failed my Pax exam by 10 points! I Panicked in the math section, I would do a problem and than look at the time and just started going through everything so fast. And the physics also got me, I know I will be retaking it when I can, and I won't lie I didn't study at all! but i have a 4.0 gpa. Is there anyway to still get in? Or are my chances 100% gone now? I just feel like I have good grades, but i just missed the passing grade by a hair because I let stress get the best of me

I don't know what kind of entrance exam that is but have you checked out programs you would like to attend? Not every program heavily base their decision on GPA or test alone. They may look at a combination of things so to speak. If you feel you could do better, retake it if you want.

What did you get? It depends on the school, every school has a different threshold for the PAX

I believe that I have read another one of your posts where you said that attend LCCC. You would need at least a 100 composite score for them to review your application. Hopefully you got that :) and if not I would recommend getting the NLN PAX study guide. I found it to be really helpful for the math review and physics questions.
I only got a 90 so upset, guess I will have to study for weeks next time I take it!
Did you use the study guide the first time?
