Daytonite, BSN, RN Specializes in med/surg, telemetry, IV therapy, mgmt. May 21, 2007 Hi, Elaine! What it means is that you scored a 93 in Math, a 96 in Reading, an 84 in Science, and a 91 in English. Every school interprets these scores the way they feel meets their own purposes. So, it is totally up to the LPN program that you applied to as to what they do with them. They will determine whether or not your scores are within a certain range that they have decided is the best predictor of success in their program. If your scores meet their requirements, then I'm sure you'll be hearing from them.Welcome to allnurses! :welcome: 0 Likes
beth66335, BSN, RN May 22, 2007 when I took my test they told me I had to score in the 80th percentile on 3 out of 4 sections. It sounds like you did fine . You will get a score sheet from the school you took your test from and they will write Pass on the top if you did well enough. Hope this helps! 0 Likes

LaneRN Specializes in geriatrics. May 22, 2007 i already know that I passed but I am just wondering if my scores are going to be good enough to get in it is a very competive program 0 Likes
beth66335, BSN, RN May 23, 2007 In my program the scores did not matter it was strictly Pass/Fail on this test. At my CC they add this score to other factors, including overall GPA and grades in Sciences and Math Prereqs. They look at the whole student, do you skip class, have you completed more of the prereqs than the required 12 hour minimum, that kind of thing. Some of it is just fate or luck or God, because I wasn't sure I would get in but I did. Hope this helps! 0 Likes
