Well....in my program you take a test and must get a 75 to pass.....if you fail you get one retake. If you fail it.....you are out......this is on every test. Retake for test 1 was today and we lost two students that could not pass it. We have had two drop for personal reasons....one a bad break-up and one problem pregnancy....so we have lost four already and school just started on the 9th of January. Whew.....gotta get to studying!

good thoughts coming your way!!! ((((Robin61970))).

Specfuz, were you able to see where you made your mistakes? I find I get more frustrated when I make a dumb mistake because of not reading a question correctly. For other mistakes, I try to find out why and try to remember them for the future. You passed!!! Push past it and concentrate on your other. Usually, IMHO, the first test is the hardest because it is unfamiliar. I betcha you will do better on the next test!

Exactly.......my problem is not reading the entire question through or seeing one answer & automatically going with it. I've learned though......take time to read each question & analyze what answer they are looking for. I have my third test on Monday & guess what.......I'm procrastinating...lol.

Good luck Robin!!!

There were 109 in my first semester class and before the semester was out we were down to 60 and by graduation there was around 40 of us and several were LPN bridge students...so out of the original in the 30's.

We had to keep a 77 or higher average. There were 10 math questions on each test and you could on miss 1 I believe on each test of the math.
