Overall 128 which is 90% overall

% correct score Relative performance

Verbal 63% 57%

Math 97% 99%

Science 63% 73%

The admissions officer told me not to worry too much about the scores and retaking the exam as they are pretty good. However, during the open house at the university I want to attend, the counselor said they really only look at verbal. O well I guess I'll take the counselor's advice and not worry about it.

If anyone wants to know how composite scores compare to national percentiles, let me know because I have the conversion sheet in front of me.

Hi and congrats on the sweet scores!!

Your verbal score does seem a bit low 63% right? Which pre-nursing exam did you take?

If you were told in the nursing workshop that they really look at the verbal part, maybe you should see if you can retake just that section? My exam was HESI and we hade to get at least an 80%. Thankfully I love to talk and read and English is my second favorite subject (next to history... yes, strange I know), so I passed with a 100%.

I dont want to alarm you, but getting into nursing school is sooo hard, Your other score were good, it would suck if you did not get in because of the verbal. I will keep my fingers croosed for you either way. Lots of student nurse dust to you!!!

I took the pax. Wow 100% that is awsome. Verbal is my weakest. Also didn't help that I didn't pace correctly and I didn't answer the last 7 questions, which mean automatic 7 wrong. If I retake it, I will probably get a higher score.

and thanks :)
