I’m scheduled to take Kaplan entrance exam in the end of February. When I took it last year I only scored 68 and I need 77 to get into the program at the school I’m interested in. What’s the best way to study? I especially suck at reading:(:( I purchased Kaplan’s nursing entrance preparation book but it doesn’t have a lot of practice quizzes. Any useful online resources anyone can share? Thank you!! 0 Likes

When Covid came along, all nursing and medical professionals read: nursing journals, CDC journals, Medical journals such as JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine etc. You are going to be responsible for a lotta reading in nursing school. Determine the problem now: Are you dyslexic (which you will need to work on before you need to read MD orders), Is English a second language?, do you find reading boring?, difficult to read (words you haven't read/heard before?) etc. It truly is too bad that you got this far before learning effective strategies to read. 0 Likes
