Hi! I am currently an LPN that has registered to take the Kaplan entrance exam for Moraine Valley College at the end of April. I was curious for those who have applied to their LPN-RN bridge program what study materials did you use. I have heard conflicting stories regarding how the exam is formatted and that it varies between schools in general. I've been told some schools use an NCLEX assessment based style and others just focus completely on physiology. I'm not looking for test specifics just what helped you succeed at passing the exam. Thank you to all that reply.

It was not extremely difficult. It’s nothing like the TEAS, HESI, or ATI. I actually over studied. The score I received was an 87.

@China84LPN thanks for the response, so Kaplan is much easier than Hesi and teas?

I’ve never taken Hesi or Teas, but the Kaplan was not too bad.

@China84LPN who are you!? LoL Did I meet you in school?
