Help with Compass for Holmes LPN

Published

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.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!! Im so happy and excited!!!

I am too. I also got accepted to Surgical Tech, but this was the acceptance I was waiting on. She said Tues at 9 right? I was so excited that I could barely speak. I can't wait to meet you! Even though we don't live in the same town we can still support and help each other!! Now I have to get my financial aid in order. I applied for pell, but I am going to talk to thw WIN like you suggested and see if I can get help there.

Did you find out about the pell already? I am still waiting to hear about mine. I know how much they say I can get up to, but I am waiting for it to be official from Holmes. Then I have to try to talk Mr. Haffey into filing an appeal for me so I can get it because of the over 100 hours deal.

Yea I found out about it already.. I received my award letter last week.. Its split into I think 2500 a semester but I dont know if that will be enough since we have to pay for books in all, not including supplies we need so Im going to the Win Job Center to ask for some assistance..

I was thinking about going to the WIN job center too when my letter comes. I am also eligible for an ACT scholarship that pays full tuition and Sumners.

Did you apply for the ACT scholarship already?

No I don't ever apply for it. They just award it a few weeks after school starts. I got it last year and it was wonderful. I did have to apply for Sumners though. I don't think it covers Yazoo though does it? It is $550 a semester.
