Hey! I'm looking into applying soon for the spring 2020 semester and was just curious how the program is? Also if they mostly just take the PAX RN score into consideration and not GPA. What was everyones scores when they applied and how did you study for the PAX?

[Millafurtado]

I spent all my time reviewing math too. im in the same boat I got the same score, im just taking it again next week so I can try for a better score

[Millafurtado]

I turned mine in at the 1st conference and I retook my pax exam on the 25th, I hope the score gets added to my application file.

Hey ladies! Just wanted to see who’s anxiously waiting for the letters to be sent out on the 30th? I’m so nervous my score wasn’t high enough.

I'm so nervous! I wish there were more forums on here to get an idea of what a competitive score is. Im glad I do have plenty of school work to keep me busy for the next few weeks but this is stressing me out lol.

Same here! I have been searching trying to get a gauge of the accepted scores and cant find anything! Did you ever end up retesting for a higher score? I took my test sick on the 24th so I didn’t have a chance to take it more than once before our applications were due so I’m worried about my score.

[Determined2GO, ASN, RN]

Yes I retook it and made a 132 this time. I did improve my reading and vocab score by answering all the questions, but my science score dropped a bit. I feel like the science portion had way more physics questions the second time I took it. But buying the practice tests and study guide on the nln website is what really helps because some of the practice questions end up word for word on the exam. I wouldn't worry too much because like they said you never know what the applicant pool will look like. Praying it's in our favor this go round!

[Millafurtado]

I think the applicant pool is much smaller in the spring so I'm praying bc I have a 120 ?

[Justaddcoffee247]

I’ve heard that it’s smaller as well. I sure hope it’s true. I only scored a 122 so I’m right there with you! There’s 40 available slots right? Which conference did you attend? Was there a lot of people? Hopefully these next 18+ days fly by fast!! ?
