Gordon State College 2017 admission test change

eyedreamofnursing · May 6, 2016

Hey. The minimum score needed on the Kaplan is low 60's. I took the Kaplan and scored a 76 for clayton (which wasn't good enough :sorry: ). The test is fairly shorter than the TEAS V exam. We used a calculator for the math, and they were fairly simple problems (fractions, and proportions were the most seen on my test. The Reading was fairly simple for me I didn't study this portion...you either can comprehend or not, I just didn't think it was too much to study for. The science was ROUGH, VERY SPECIFIC, I mean as specific as specific could be in the systems! There is a thread that talks about the Kaplan, and boy I wish that I had found that post prior to taking the test! EVERYTHING she stated to be on the exam was on it for science. The English was very surprising to me...its in SAT format (essays that you picked what didn't belong, or what was missing) This section I did the worst on, because I was shocked at the format (the book didn't give you these type of problems. I have to repeat my A&P I because its 7 years at clayton and 5 years at Gordon. I'm doing that this summer, but I'm not giving up! Do you know if they changed the need to be a CNA on their site, I didn't see it, but could have sworn I saw that previously. Anyway I think the Kaplan is the better exam.

Hello! Thanks for the reply. I do remember seeing that it was a requirement of having an CNA certification. I checked back today and I don't see that requirement now. I could have overlooked it. I did see on the checklist for the nursing application, it stated to attach any certificate, license, and etc.. if applicable to the nursing application packet. I have been studying for the Kaplan since I saw the change for the entrance exam. Hopefully everything will work itself out. Good luck!
