What I’ve been told it’s here to stay…unfortunately. The new Kaplan I do not like they change it last year. The old Kaplan was super easy! All physiology things that were much more fresh in my mind that biology.
And no actually I was already in the program in 2019 but unexpected circumstances happened so I had to withdraw. I’m returning again and I have to do everything all over again (Smdh so mad) things are VERY different now is much more hard to get in, In my opinion…

I purchased the Kaplan book to study but it was not useful to me at all. I think I only had 1 question on science portion that was from the book.

I can't imagine how frustrating it is for you to have to re-do everything. How long were you in the program before withdrawing? I am assuming still in Yuma?

Don’t bother with any of the Kaplan books. Those are set up to give you a poor score. I recommend the ACT book for the reading and writing and for math tbh Youtube and for science Youtube.
I was in first semester I was almost done but family situations…nursing is NO joke nothing like pre-nursing it’s 5x harder LOL

Yeah, I heard it is much harder. I am still hoping to be able to work at least part time though. Nau is expensive.

Wednesday only day we didn’t have class. Fridays was clinicals. Tbh you 100% don’t have a life you eat and breath nursing but…you have to give yourself some time off for your mental health or it will ruin you fast

Oh OK.

I just ordered 2 ACT books, hopefully I can do better next cycle. I was so stressed during Kaplan, I can't even remember most of the questions on the test LOL

Me too, but we will see.
I remembered a few of them not word for word but what the question was about. I made a post in here explaining it.

I just talked to the nursing department asking for more info about the selection process. I was told that casper is worth 50% of your GPA, and they are only looking at overall and science Kaplan scores,which is worth about 75% of GPA. Still trying to figure out the matrix, but from what I gather the snapshot is not worth anything.

What??? I’m confused…as far as I know it’s GPA, then Kaplan scores, and now CASPer…it’s all a point system.

This is exactly what they told me. I was trying to figure out how they score applications. I am pretty confused too. They didn't mention anything about point system.
