[Lsegalla89]

Hi! Just thought I would start a new thread for NJCU, 2014 applicants! - Any thoughts/concerns regarding the application process or help from alumni is greatly appreciated! I'm applying to the Wall cohort for this May.

Hi Lizziefl21,

Don't worry about your transcript. I got really nasty with NursingCAS because my school mailed out my transcript on Janaury 9 and they didn't update it on my account. They insist it is still processing and it takes 7-10 days. Which I think is taking wayyy too long and it is beyond the time frame they told me. Once they get back to me, I will let you know how it goes. Even though NJCU assured some of the students that they understand if NursingCAS takes a while to verify some of the documents, keep in mind that students who completed all the documents and requirements will get review first(since all their paperwork is complete-common sense). Schools are being known for promising something that end up did not happen. I would say you mail out a second transcript as a back up plan.

Thanks so much Nadia89! I will be out of town Monday and Tuesday so I will go to my college on Wed and have them overnight another transcript! It's absurd I hate nursingcas. Let me know of your transcript ever posts recieved to your account.

My first transcripts took only three days to post from mailing. My last one took 10 days. Was about to request a new one. In regards to the HESI. The grammar had a lot of questions on picking out the grammatically correct or incorrect sentence, which word is used incorrectly, and what does a word mean in such a context. It didn't have many questions on clause, direct object, indirect object, predicate, predicate adjective, predicate nominative, types of nouns, preposition, and conjunction. A & P and BIO were not to in depth although it did ask some random body parts etc. It was mostly from the review book but not only so know basic cell structure, bones, and reproductive parts. Good Luck to all those that didn't take it yet. And good luck to everyone on getting in.

Hi Liz,

So I called NursingCAS. BAD NEWS! They totally lost my transcript. They claimed it is no where to be found when the mailing address was correct. It is a smart idea to mail out a second copy of your transcript.

For those of you who already took the HESI - Can you go back to a question if you had already answered it? Do you get your score at the end? Was a calculator allowed or is it the on-screen computer calculator?

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!!!

[nadia89]

You get your score immediately after finishing each section. Calculator is on screen and no you can't go back to a question.

I'm so stressed out over it...as you can tell. Anyways, thanks for answering my questions nadia89!

Just got back from taking the exam. There were more questions than I expected: 30 on Bio and A&P, 55 on reading comp. Based on the scores I received, 5 questions in each section were experimental and not factored in scoring. You get 4 hours so take your time and don't rush it. What else...can't think...

[lkhw12]

Crazyfrog looks like you did well. The averages went up today in all areas from what it looks like on the evolve website. Math also has 55 questions.

[sarsoora8]

Thank you very much crazyfrog! I'm going crazy trying to study everything! I work full time, and by the time I get home the kids always need something!!! It's just craziness

What are the averages? How did you find that?

[lkhw12]

I'm not sure you can see it before you take the test but afterwards you can see the average score for each section. So you can figure the overall average from that. Right now overall is 81.83.
