Low HOAE score but still accepted into RPN

World Canada CA Programs

Published

Below is my test results, I complete the HOAE 1 week ago. I'm really disappointed in myself but I did find the exam very difficult as I had to preparation for it. I applied to the RPN program to Mohawk College and 2 days later I was advised I needed to complete the HOAE and had 48hrs to prep. Its been 15 years since I graduated highschool (85% average) and 10 years since I graduated college (3.2 GPA). My question is for you is did you have a low HOAE but was still accepted into the program? I averaged overall %60 for the HOAE, but completely failed the first 2 sections :( The spelling was brutal, I didn't even know what most of the words meant or how to pronounce them, I'm just surprised I passed that section!Academic Aptitude - 36/75

Natural Sciences - 27/60

Reading - 19/35

Spelling - 28/45

Vocational - 71/90

Do I still have hope, or should I start preparing myself to write the exam again in July for the January intake?

Secondchancegal, I wish I could offer you some hard numbers to put your mind at ease, I can only pass on information that I have gathered. Mohawk doesn't base offers purely on your HOAE grade they take into account background and other educational achievements. The course coordinators have reminded my class on many occasions that there are hundreds of applicants for the approx 100 places and how much of an achievement it was to get into the course. I wish you all the best and good luck.

secondchancegal,

how long was the test? How much time did you have for each section?

Could you go back to finished section to review/change your answers?

  • Academic Aptitude - 40 minutes; 75 questions
  • Spelling - 15 minutes; 45 questions
  • Reading Comprehension - 35 minutes; 35 questions

  • Information in the Natural Sciences - 25 minutes; 60 questions

  • Vocational Adjustment Index - 15 minutes; 90 questions

​If you had time at the end of each section leftover, you could go back and change answers with the remaining time. If you didn't have time left, then your answers were submitted and you could not return to that particular section.

Curious as to if you were accepted into school or not?! I just scored a 68% on the hoae....and am very upset
