Hunter College 2018 NLN advice, scores, gpa, application?

[Src23]

Hey prospective nursing students :)

I wanted to start a discussion on Hunters 2018 application frenzy.

I'm currently completing my application & studying for the NLN that I have scheduled in February.

Being that I'm super nervous I was looking back on the NLN scores, gpas.. etc. from past years but would love if we could open up a discussion on current test scores and experiences.

1. How did you prepare for the NLN exam?
   
2. Was the actual test material what you expected- was it harder/ was there any material you were not prepared for?
   
3. Did you take the exam at hunter? If so, I found out they let you use calculators- was it a very basic calculator - or did it have functions such as exponents and negative integer capabilities?
   
4. What is your NLN score and percentile?
   
5. What is your gpa?
   
6. Do you feel your career goal statement (for nursingcas application) was strong? (I struggled a bit with this section as the instructions were very vague)
   

Hope to hear from you all.

Good luck!

To get the discussion going here's my info so far:

I can only provide have my gpa scores for now since I haven't taken the NLN exam yet.

GPA from transfer college 3.74 (I think)

GPA from Hunter- 4.0

For the application essay I didn't get too personal, wrote mostly about my experience in work and school and how that will help me with future studies. My word count was a tad under 700. (Nursingcas did not provide any details at all!-- so I'm a bit apprehensive about this part)

I am currently using "Review Guide for RN Pre-Entrance Exam 3rd edition" to study but am worried that I should be more thorough from reading so many posts on the science section.
