JJC (Joliet Junior College) Fall 2015

Published

Hey I don't know if a thread has already been started for this program but I am interested in applying for the February 15th deadline for the Fall 2015 start date at JJC. I haven't signed up for my TEAS yet because I don't want to pick a date that is too early or too late since I also need to begin studying but I was thinking about signing up for the Feb 2nd 4th or 5th date. If anyone else is applying to the program or is currently in the program please feel free to reply and share anything that you can. Thanks =)

I would much prefer they are harder than the exam itself if I am going to purchase them, because at least they are helping to over-prepare you for the TEAS, then. I will think about purchasing them this afternoon. Thank you!

@laurynq definitely get the practice tests! They are kind of pricey but they give you the rationale for the right answers, so its really like a glorified studying tool! Plus its all in the same format as the actual TEAs so its kind of nice to "practice" twice before the real thing.

Thanks, I am trying to figure out my finances this week to see if I can purchase them!!! I'd rather be over-prepared than under-prepared!!!!

have you began studying yet?

Have you guys taken Bio 250 yet? Im wondering how difficult the class is. I was going to take it with my first semester nursing courses but my adviser said that while it can be done, they advise against it because the class is so intensive.

Yes, I've been going through my study guide book and trying to at least write down the fundamentals of things as I solve the problems. Feel pretty good about math, working on English tonight and reading tonight, Science tomorrow. You?

If I was you, I would probably try to take it over the summer before Nursing begins. 250 is a pretty tough course, and you're already going to have to take 251 mixed in with your Nursing classes. I personally loved both the classes, but they're not easy. If you can, take it with Professor Murdoch!

I've been looking at science and I'm going to look at math but I'm nervous because math is my weakest subject and the reading seems like more than just analyzing and story reading. I feel so unprepared =(

Don't let yourself go into the test already feeling defeated. You can do this! It's not a super hard test, it's just lengthy. And if you are taking time to really understand the basics of your hardest subjects, you should be fine. For example, I made sure to know all the steps to solving the polynomial equations, and understanding how to convert from fractions to percents to decimals, etc. You just have to give it your best and that's all you can do!

thank you for your words of encouragement =) I'm trying my best to go into the test with a positive mindset and regardless of the outcome I just want to give it my all and hope for the best.

You're welcome! We are here to help each other, and if there's anything I can help you with today, let me know! I have set aside specific times to study today and enlisted help for my kids so that nothing stands in the way. I also will be getting a good night's sleep tonight! :) Usually your scores are there within a few hours, so we will know tomorrow evening. Either way, we just have to try our butts off and accept that it is all we could give. What's meant to be, will be. At the VERY least, you will come out knowing what else you need to work on for next time if you ever do have to re-take the exam. You know?
