   I studied for the accuplacer on their website here: https://practice.accuplacer.org/login If you're transferring in as an LVN, you can test out of health assessment and med surg, aka BSN 246 and 266.

   That's amazing, congratulations! Did you transfer in pre-reqs also? What classes did you test out of? They mentioned to me I could test out of math and another course with a CLEP.

   I'm going to take the entrance exam this week! I hope it's not too difficult. I'm applying as an LVN with a few prereqs. My biggest concern is getting approved for the loans. 🥲

   Excuse me, WHAT? You started May 2022 and you're set to finish next August? 😍 I was a little bummed out because I don't want to spend the next 3 years in school.. but I'm also already an LVN and have quite a few prereqs done.
