First nursing school tests, how did you do?

[JLChasteen]

I just had my first tests in nursing school yesterday and today (lecture and lab). Boy they do make them as hard as they can, don't they?! A lot of tears were seen.. and I am totally happy I spent so many hours studying! I got an 84 on both tests.. yeah wondering how anyone else did on their first tests they ever took in nursing school? The school I am attending is known to be "the hardest one in the state" which is very scary for us freshman, but they had a 100% pass rate for the NCLEX last year!!

I have had four test so far 91, 72(not passing) 84 and the last is still unknown until Monday. I have 2 more test on Monday aswell. Now that I know how the test are laid out, I will know what to study and maybe I will retain it better.

Good luck to all!:up:

I passed my first fundamentals lab test out (sterile field, open gloving), and got a 94 on the first fundamentals exam. Still waiting on my health assessment grade and I don't think I'm in the A range, but hoping for a high B! The big mama is next week though...maternity theory exam! So much studying to do!!

I received a C on my first nursing exam and a B- on the second. My professor told the class that the exams are going to get harder, so I'm surprised that the second exam was easier than the first one.

In fundies I made A's and B's on my exam. I'm currently in my last semester and make high B's. But a B is a B....

My RN program is known to be one of the more rigorous in our state also, and last year's class had a 100% first time taking NCLEX pass rate. The questions are a lot different than any other test in all the prereqs, aren't they? I am in my first semester and scored an 87 on my first fundamentals exam, and an 85 on my second. I got an 86 on the pharmacology exam and a 97 on the dosage calc exam. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my grades, thus far

Congrats to all of you for passing the 1st test. I just had my very first test this past tues. and I received a 92% grade average. I was surprised, because I thought that I would be in the low 80's. I missed two lecture classes, and was still acclimating myself to the whole programs online portion (it is so confusing at first, but a great tool and idea once your familiar with it), which gives us handouts and other useful info. that is essential to this high paced program.

This school has a consistently high nclex pass rate, so getting anything under an 82 is failing. Good luck to all future test!!

I got a 90 on my first fund's test...an 87.5 on my first Phys. Assessment test, an 86 on my 2nd fund's test, and an 85 on my 2nd Phys. assessment test...

I still have high B averages in both classes so i'm happy...its hard though..i only have one day off and i'm gone from 7:30am to usually 7 pm every other night...its been crazy tough but i'm doing it...and passing!

first test ever was a drug calc.got a 100=) very happy about that because to be honest i sucked at math.BUT i studied real hard and did every problem dimensional analysis(cancelling out units) and then there was Medsurg.That exam was difficult! i was caught in between 2 answers and they both sounded right,of course there is only one answer it was a multiple choice exam! i got an 82 %..2 more exams to go=)
