Essex County College Fall 2011 Nursing Exam

Published

Hello,

Has anyone recieved the date(s) for the Nursing Entrance Exam for September 2011? I've been studying all summer and I am very excited to sit for the test; I just hope that i do well. I have take all Pre-Reqs and received an "A" in A&P, Chem, and Eng 101...I am ready to test!!

Any ideas on the date or any news? Also, does anyone know of any secrets requirements?

On one of my classmates score sheets from last year they broke the percentiles down according to those entering associate degree programs, and 4 year degree programs. This year I guess they lumped it all together in one group (Relative Performance). When I spoke to the lady at Essex on Friday who was sitting across from the computer lab where testing was being held she said it goes by the middle category but idk if she knew what she was talking about. If it goes by the last category I missed it by 4 in the math section. In the Relative Performance category I received a 77 in Verbal, Math a 46, and Science a 68 with a composite of 116.

I just called Ms. Jackson at the school; and she said it goes by the middle category, but i don't think she knows what shes talking about because then I asked her if its the one with the percent sign or is it the percentile; she said the one with the percent sign. If its that one then I have over 50 in every category but I believe its is the percentile which is the last category. In the middle category I received a 71% in verbal; 55% in math; and 60% in science. If you want to speak to Ms. Jackson her number is 973-877-1868

Before taking the test, all counselors and such said that you need to get at least 50% correct in all categories to be entered into the program...I assume that that is the middle column only because they didn't say that you need to get into the 50th percentile as the 3rd column is the percentile column for each section... You did best in Verbal and usually, this is where folks get their lowest score.

Were there lots of people testing when you took the test? There were three people (including me) on the date that i tested.

When I took the test it was about 25 people. My computer froze 3 times. I had to use 3 different computers :(

There was a guy taking the test his computer was frozen the whole time, he was really ****** I felt so bad. He was close to crying but I felt his pain...Wow on 3 people...lol...we had a full room but no one discussed it after when I asked one guy he ran away lol idk what was wrong with him haha.....how do you think you did

Hopefully, i did well enough....i'm hoping. :)

My percentile scores (last column) are:

Verbal 83, Math 98 & Science 96 ...I also made it over the 50% mark in the 2nd column. Hopefully, we'll be starting the program together!

Well with your scores you def got in

Wow, Congrats on getting accepted into Rutgers!:yeah:

You are pretty far along already, it sounds like you have a backup plan though. The nursing program would extend your stay in Essex...which are you most passionate about?

Either way, i wish you all the best of luck!

I realllllly want to do nursing. The only problem is Rutgers isn't taking transfer nursing students this year so I'd have to have 24 credits from Rutgers in order to transfer into their nursing program as a Rutgers student so that's the route I will have to take if I don't get into the program at Essex.

At least you have a back up plan Miracle because i dont have one. My only plan at the moment is to get into the program and finish it as an RN. If by chance i am not accepted, i would be devestated and but i'd have to move on. You are already prepared for anything, which is excellent.

I truly do believe that the 50% is based on the middle column though. It might also depend on how you scored against the other applicants too though. I think you might be fine....Well unfortunately have to wait though.

Idk, I think its last last column especially if its Percentiles based on others that have taken the test and entered similar nursing programs. You are definitely going to get in without a doubt. The only thing I'm worried about is the Math section last column. If its the middle then I'll be super happy but I doubt it since that's only based on the number of questions answered correctly, and I know Essex goes by the percentile.
