J. Sargeant Reynolds RN Program 2011-2012

Hi Sshell38,

I dont recall any chemistry questions on the Kaplan test. There were lots of random A&P questions for the the science part. But dont worry too much about that part much, as it isnt graded. I scored in the 90's for the two areas that they did factor into the grade, Math and Reading. I totally overprepared for the math, and surprisingly did much better at it than the Reading. I think I used the calculator on the computer, but I dont remember using it much. If you know basic algebra, percentages, ratios, and can decipher these in a word program you will do well. If not, you can retake the Kaplan one time. I have heard that it is exactly the same test when you retake it.

As for people having 4.0's and not getting into the program it must have been that their Kaplan scores were too low.

Hope that helps. Good luck!!!

I was also accepted as an alternate for the fall and signed up for the orientation tomorrow July 21st but have misplaced my letter. I know it ends at 2:30 but what is the start time and which room are we in?

Do you know the start time for the orientation on the 21st? I misplaced the part of the letter I didn't mail in!

yes the RN program did change you must go to the orientation prior to applying and get the newest info there. the kaplan was not HARD, tedious at times but not hard. there was no calculus type math or rocket science. just basic reading and math, fractions, and decimals percentages etc. you can use the drop down calculator on the computer NOT your own claculator from home. you can get blank scrap paper from the front desk at the time you take test. bring your id and nothing else!!! leave everything in your car. save money and just read the book in the library or borrow it from a former student.

I went to the Wed orientation. What about you? Going made me extremely nervous! I'm the student who crams before tests!! I really have to focus to ensure I'm studying throughout the week! I was planning on working throughout the semester and taking classes for my Bachelors but I think I was being a bit too motivated. How do you feel after the orientation? Are you going to work or take any other classes?

Hi! I am applying for Fall 2012 JSRCC RN program. Just curious to find out how you like the program. I also applied to Bon Secours. I have a 4.0 and high Kaplan scores, so hopefully I'll get into JSRCC. Any advice on the JSRCC program from those who have been in the program for 1+ semesters. Thanks!

Hi everyone, quick question.. im taking my kaplan this thursday and i am actually more freaking out about the READING portion than anything! Im not a fast reader and I have been studying the kaplan book... does anyone remember what kind of passages were on the kaplan? Could someone please write me back and let me know! Thanks a bunch!

Good luck on the Kaplan test...I didn't find it that difficult compared to the TEAS V I had to take @ NVCC. I've applied for the Fall 2012 RN program as well...my first choice is NVCC b/c I'm already living up this way but we'll see what happens. Good luck to everyone!
