New advice about watts school of nursing test

Hi guys,

I have scheduled to take the Watts School of nursing test in Feb. and have seen old post about it. I went on the website for the sample test and they were too easy. Has anyone recently in the last month taken the test and how does it compare to the sample. I did get the book that they suggested and I have been studying it. I took the NET test at a previous school and missed the math by three points but the NET has algebra on it and Im not a fan of Algebra:eek:! I received a Associates Degree in Medical Assisting about 6 months ago and have not had any luck with jobs. I have been a CNA for about 3 years, so I figured I would try at nursing. If anyone can give me some advice about the test it would be greatly appreciated!!!

I took the test in December and passed with a 99 in the general and a 97 in the reading. If you find the sample tests easy, and are able to do well on the practice tests within the alloted time, you'll be fine. I really think time is the killer in this test. I posted in the other thread that I've never run out of time on a test before, and that is true. I read and work very quickly, so I think my advice would be to work on your speed.

Well I took the test and failed now I feel horrible and stupid!!!!! If you read this Danigirl please let me know if you passed on your first try. It almost like they want people to fail because of the time restraint. I mean there are 90 questions that you are trying to answer in 30 minutes and we only go 15 minutes for the reading comprehension. So do I just mark whatever I can to get all the questions answered because unless you are a speed reader its just not possible.

I did pass on my first try, but I have always been a fast reader and a good test taker. As I stated above, the time is the killer on this. If the content isn't too hard for you, then you just have to work on your speed. That test was the first time I ever didn't finish all the questions, so I agree that they don't give you much time.
