I took my KAT test today I'm so nervous and anxious still. Does anybody know what an average test score is? I also want to know if there is a cut off grade. Can somebody help

Hi SunnyInCT,

How was the Test, do you remember any of the questions from the science part?

Thanks

Hey guys so I got a 78 on the kap... 3.1 in the preqs. I also have two pre reqs that I have to complete. Hopefully that's enough to land me a spot since I was aiming for within the 80s. Good luck to everyone.

Hey guys,

I took the KAP today and got an 84. I was mildly disappointed because I was shooting for at least a 90 but I'll take it. I have all my prereqs done and a 3.95 gpa so hopefully that's enough for me to get in.

I got a 65 on the Science part and got a 100 on math. I got a 76 in writing which is annoying as I'm actually pretty strong in writing, apparently just not for this exam haha. I did well in the comprehension, got in the 80s. Here's some tips/observations:

Science:

* It was virtually ALL physiology. No chem, anatomy, bio, etc.

* Make sure you study a lot of the respiratory system (gas exchange, how air enters body, etc), cardiovascular system (blood flow through vessels, heart, etc), Nervous system (autonomic, parasympathetic, etc), and Endocrine system, feedback loops. Most (if not all) questions came from these four systems. Also, there were some questions about the digestive system.

Math:

* Decimals, fractions, percentages, ratios, and a few dosage questions.

* Make sure you have those first four mastered. Almost all of the questions were on those four types of problems.

* There were problems where you had to add fractions, add decimals, convert decimals to fractions or percentages, etc.

* You can't bring your own calculator but there's a calculator on the PC screen you can use.

Writing:

* You have to read quite a bit for this section so keep mindful of the time. You get about 4-5 passages to read and each one has a few questions asking about different rules of English, etc.

* Make sure you know subject-verb rules, rules on using apostrophes, commas, colons/semi-colons, and clauses. Also, make sure you know when to use its vs it's, lets vs let's, etc.

Comprehension:

* You have about 4-5 passages to read and each one has a bunch of questions pertaining to it.

* You'll get asked a few questions about the author's point, main idea, things like that. I suggest reading the passages at least twice but the second time go more quickly than the first time and don't spend a lot of time on each question. I'm actually a pretty quick reader and I almost ran out of time. I answered the last question with 15 seconds left.

Here are the resources I used:

Books -

1) ATI TEAS - Test Study Guide 2018-2019

2) CliffsNotes: Anatomy & Physiology Quick Review (THIS WAS MY BREAD & BUTTER. Great book! It simplifies everything into manageable chapters)

3) I bought the Kaplan book but after I bought it two of my friends said it was useless for this exam and it kind of was. The English and math parts are great but the science section is useless. The science section in the TEAS book is more useful.

App:

PocketPrep (HESI version - $15). When you download the app you can buy the HESI exam or TEAS and I bought the HESI version at that time. You get 1500 practice questions including all 4 sections. They also have practice questions on physics which the Kaplan exam doesn't use so I skipped all the physics questions. You can customize your practice exams and it also gives you an explanation for each question. I did 100-question practice exams about once or twice a day for about a month or so.

My take on the exam is that it wasn't bad at all. You just have to put the work in and study quite a bit so you guys should be fine.

I was told Monte will send acceptance notices in mid-Nov so let's see what happens. Happy studying everyone and good luck!

That's such a good score!

You did good, I believe they look at your percentile. Q: For the science you only used Quizlet, did you noticed the questions seeming similar? Please don't stress out the writing part is a killer for e'one.
