FSCJ Spring 2014 hopeful

Published

I haven't found anything for spring 2014 hopefuls so I wanted to put it out there and meet any other applicants. I am currently taking chem over the summer & I am enrolled in micro for fall. I took my NAT yesterday. I will be applying in Aug for a spring start with 204.32 points. I am hoping to make it in spring rather than having to finish micro and need those points, pushing me back to summer start. Almost 2 years of pre-reqs and sweating it out, it's almost our turn to apply :yes: I am stoked!!!

Hi everybody!

I'm glad this thread started because I'm glad I'm not the only one going insane! Looking through all of your posts about being nervous and stressed out makes me feel we're all in the same boat and we should share this burden together aha. We got this!

I'm applying for the Spring with 93 points from classes (excluding Micro since I'm taking it now). I have yet to take my NAT and I am scared out of my mind. I'm taking it next Friday. It's amazing how many of you guys have extremely high scores on the NAT. I've reviewed the practice tests and I feel ready but at the same time, not ready if that makes sense?

I heard the Spring cut offs are usually lower than Falls cut offs? Is that true?

Good luck, I took it twice you will be surprised how much easier it seems the second time. I think we freak ourselves out the first time around.

Thanks. I didn't think I did too bad the first time but definitely needs improvement. Did you study for the 2 nd time? I also heard the Nat test may be changing In the spring to be harder in math and science!

I had 3 study books & did not feel any of them helped. The information pool is broad. Your pre-reqs are the best preparation. The best advice i have is to watch your time. If its running out, christmas tree the rest of the answers. Incorrect answers do not count against you so make sure every question has an answer. If one questions is taking too long, guess & move on. It will be easier than you think, just trust your knowledge from your classes. When do you test? Good luck!! :)
