Help in determining my LPN entrance exam scores received

VaneJimenez · Jan 3, 2009

I'm not sure? I took the Teas for Keiser and I was wondering if that's the test for Mercy.. Can you also give me some more info on Mercy? Is it hard to get into? when does the next program start? I'm currently at MDC and hear so many bad things about their nursing program and hear nothing but wonder things about mercy, any info you can give me would be great!

I would call the school to figure out which one is correct...I took the TEAS test, and am in school right now- just about half way through. For my results, it was based on the Percentile for the school- my school required atleast a 40th percentile in every section to be eligible for an interview- so you can wait until you get your letter- OR call. I think they put the percentile on their so you can see how you did overall compared to everyone else- but like i said, everyschool could do it differently. YOu may also be able to go online and look at their website for students that are interested in enrolling- then go to admissioon requirements....anyhow- GOODLUCK!!!!!!

I asked about the NLN scoring and they told me you have to get at least 95 out of 200 correct. That doesn't seem so bad, I signed up for it, to take it Jan 19th, any suggestions?

I'm also going to be taking the test in March! My main concern is science. But now that I know the scoring, I'm a bit more at ease. I'd also like to get feed back about the interview as I've never been good at them, lol.

Hey John! when are you taking the test? Iam taking it on March 6th at Miami Mercy. Iam kind of nervous. and you?

VaneJimenez · Feb 3, 2009

Don't let the scoring put you at ease... the test is EXTREMELY hard... the math is 85% fractions & decimals.. and the science is 1/3 of the test.. and you only get 60 mins exactly to finish each section... study as much as you can.. I was truly afraid that I didn't answer the 95 required questions... but be careful.. because you can only take the test twice and you must wait 6 months to retake it after the 1st attempt... GOOD LUCK TO ALL..!!

Hi Mayte. Well, I just found out that I'm to late to sign up to take it . The lady I spoke to today said to call in March to see if I could take it but I'm not sure what that means. Do you know how that works? I've done so much studying already.

It was hard but not to bad. The test did not feel like the NLN practice tests I had done so well on, but it is easy enough to get the required score if you studied the book. I had such a bad experience though. Because I had eaten a light lunch that morning, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to feel hungry during the test, so I bought an orange juice downstairs, which turned out to be bad. OMG, I was so sick during the first two portions of the test (verbal/reading and Math) that I could not retain any information after reading passages. So sick, that I had to guess on more than a few. I threw up at the start of the Science test, and felt so much better that it was the section I scored best on. Anyway, I passed and will be getting an application soon. If you are accepted, will you be attending in August '09 or Jan '10?
