Hello all!

I know it's early to make this thread but I wanted to see who else is planning to apply to this program.

The first open house is in February. Anybody else going?

You do not need to memorize conversions. Just know how to add/subtract decimals, divide/multiply/add/subtract fractions, convert decimals to percents, word problems, know how to set up proportions, know ratios... honestly it was real basic and straightforward.

There were a few dosage related questions that were time related. Don't remember exact but you're pretty much setting up proportions

The last few questions on dosage threw me so off. I definitely feel like if you can look up some basic dosage questions you should be fine.

I agree! Been a while I practiced dosage questions and I totally forgot to go over them. I got 24/28 in math so I'm sure I got those wrong

Well ok not too bad I guess. What about science?

For the science study quizlet. There's this one set where it had almost all the questions that was on the test. That helped me a lot.

Just wanted to share this with you guys since it came to mind. I remember a problem that gave you 4 sets of equations like the one below (as an example) and you have to figure out which is correct. I'm sure these types of problems are still showing up but the guys that took the test today would know better.

So, if you're asked if the below is correct, how do you know?

688 1376

—— = ———

898 1796

One of the easiest ways to do this is to take out any number you want and replace it with an X and cross-multiply and then divide to see if it’s correct. So I’m going to take out 688 (randomly chosen) and replace it with an X so my equation will be this:

x 1376

——— = ———

898 1796

then cross-multiply to get this equation:

1796X = 1,235,648

Once I divide both sides by 1796, X should equal 688, which it does.

688 1376

—— = ———

898 1796

So, this equation would be correct

The test was very fair and not bad at all. You're going to be good ? Pay attention to the time for each section and don't spend too much time on one question. You can always go back to a question within a section if you have time left

Thank you hun. I’ll do the worst in reading. Yes, I can read lol but I could choose an answer & def swear by it; like yea this is exactly what the author is saying. Boom, it’s wrong or something? idk what I’m doing so wrong. Always try to read, analyze & interpret carefully so idk. All in all, I’m ready to fail that section.

Honestly if you're going to pick a poison, please do not allow it to be reading! I'm not sure how good you are with writing but it was honestly hard. I knew this before going into the exam though, so I made sure to go hard for the science.

I personally did not study for reading/math, but I wish I did. I got 4 questions wrong in the reading and math section. One more correct answer for either section, then boom my overall grade would be 80+ instead of the 79. Oh well lol

Lol I dont know if im allowed to post it on here but she had 24 terms within her set and when you search it up its like the 4th one down. Study that one, it helped a lot.
