HELP with PBS Exam

L&D_2b · Mar 15, 2006

Hi I am takeing the PSB exam on March 25th. I have to take two parts that I failed to be able to pass the exam. I failed the natural science part and the verbal aspect part. I have been studying all the guides they say study,but I am still having trouble with the verbal part. Please if any one know of more study material that may be of some help please post. The school that I am testing for is Shadyside school in Pittsburgh.

Hi, neighbor (I'm in New Castle)! I took this test two years ago and made the 96 percentile. What is on the verbal part again? I might be able to help you or direct you to some resources.

As for the science section, the book by Mary McDonald called "LPN/LVN pre entrance testing would be of great help. Or even a biology CLEP book would help (that you can get at your local library).

You have to choose a word that does not belong out of four words. Seems easy I know, I just don't know the words. There words I don't use. Thanks for the info on Bio...

Hi, I'm applying to Shadyside and will soon be taking the PSB. Was there much A&P, nutrition, and/or micro material on the exam?

chill65 · Mar 26, 2006

Hello there were more bio than anything, a little A&P but not much. When are you takeing the exam? I do not recall any nutrition or micro on the exam. It's really basic. Good Luck I thought the last day to test was today for the fall. Did they extend the test dates for more people to get into the school... I hope so because that gives me a good chance of gettting in. I thought I was takeing the exam late.. Well Good Luck. Please write back on how the exam went and your results.

Hi Chill, I'll probably be taking the exam sometime in April. Saturday the 25th was the last regularly scheduled testing day, but they did extend the dates. I'm glad because I wasn't even considering applying to Shadyside, I had my eye on attending their sister school St. Margaret's. While St. Margaret's will accept me, they won't take me until Feb '07, so they suggested I apply to Shadyside. If Shadyside does accept me, it should be easier since, as I'm working on pre-req's, I'll be able to transfer A&P 1 and 2, micro, nutrition, and maybe growth and development.

I hope you get accepted! Are you trying for full-time or part-time? I'll be full-time. :specs:
