Help with Compass for Holmes LPN

[jg24]

I received my letter today with the date for taking the Compass test for the LPN program at Holmes. I really don't know what to expect. I have heard people say it is a basic skills test, but I am still freaking out. I guess I am most worried about the Math. Can anyone that has taken it please tell me how hard the math is? I am sure it has plenty of Algebra, fractions and percents, but I am not sure what else. Please, help me if you can. I have to take it May 17.

Hey yes2010. Welcome to our sit and wait club. I also took the Compass at Goodman. Who knows how they decide who gets in. I do know they only pick 30. I took it on May 17 at 8:30. There were 29 on the list to take it with me, but not everyone showed up. I would guess maybe 20 showed up. All we can do now is support each other and pray. Good luck to you. Divine87 and myself both know what you are going through.
