Hi y'all I'm taking the test this upcoming saturday (the 1st entrance test) at Greater Lowell and I will like some advices/opinions/essays topics of those who took it already....I'm just scared about the essay because I have no idea of the topic, if there's any choice of topic and English is my second language (I know everyone keep telling me I'm doing great but..it doesn't change that much), Please if you know anyone who's going there or went there inquire for me , please!!
Will really appreciate, thanks!
P.S: How long does it take to be notify about your test results ?
Hey Everyone. I was just wondering how book buying has been coming along? I have been trying to price compare but I have had very little luck finding places that are significantly cheaper than the schools site. The shipping from the schools site is expensive! $30+ for all or a good majority of the books required. As if the books themselves are not expensive enough. "/
The prices on amazon.com fluctuates time to time and you have to buy it at the right time, it can be difficult. I all ready bought my books and I only saved $30 compared to buying all my books on the school site, but its' something. The only thing I bought from the school website was the fundamental package only because I wasn't sure the types of books included that I should buy and the rest from amazon.com, and yes the shipping and handling was crazy for the school website and on amazon.com the shipping and handling added up as well.
And to help save "some" money I only purchased the books for the first term.
Thanks for the info Hurryupandwork. I have been watching the prices on Amazon and I bought two of the books from there already. I have free two day shipping with them because I signed up as a college student (its only for 6 months though). I found that if I buy the remaining that I need from school right now I would save like 40-50$ rather than buying them from Amazon. "/ Guess I will keep watching and hope for some deals. I did also ask a former student about the optional books like the lpn and med surg notes books and she said she never even opened them so I am going to hold off on those. With waiving some classes I will be saving money as well. Im looking at roughly 470$ for the books I need with shipping from the school.
Congratz on completing the program!! And thanks for the advice! Did you use all of the required books for assignments and what not? Do you suggest us buying the optional books?
