NLN Results....

Published

I took my test on 1/27....I read on here some people are getting their results back in 12 days...well that's today. Does anyone who took their test that day have theirs back? How about those of you that took it just before then...are your results back yet?

I was fine this morning until I looked out my window and saw the mailbox. Then it hit me. Now I'm a NERVOUS NERVOUS NERVOUS wreck!!

Alrighty...hmmm. Well I'll be waiting on the mail truck.

Hello guys, I'm new to the site and would like some advises on how to prepare for the NLN pre-entrance exam, specifically the verbal part that has to do with knowing the meaning of words not ordinarily used.

Any advices will be helpfull.

Thanks

Maissin,

Here's what helped me- crossword puzzles and word games- sounds weird but it works! But don't fret too much about the NLN- it really was easy at least for me but I was freshly done with the pre-req's. An NLN test book helps too!

Good luck.

I have to say, my plan to take the test to improve on my score WORKED!!!!!

I was very confident in Math & Science, but not Language (which is always the case). For AD, I got 61 in Verbal (ugh), 94 in Math and 97 in Science!!! SO.....I GOT A COMBINED PERCENTILE OF 92!!! Composite score of 133. I am VERY happy with this score and would be VERY surprised if I didn't get into the program with it.

Thanks everyone for any positive vibes you sent my way!

here is the one you will need - available on ebay (2 links for 2 auctions). other than this, do a search on google for nln pre entrance exam study guide and see what it brings up.

I'm taking it tomm at 7:30am.

1) Why don't they give these tests at 11am?

2) I did all 3 practice tests, average was 41/60 Verbal; 30/40 Math; 40/60 Science. Hope that's what I hit on the actual test. Based on what I'm reading here, it should give me a 80%+ percentile.

Will update when they come in....

Good lord, I'm tired.

I think I did well in the verbal and math, I finished both with 15 mins to go back and check my work

The science on the other hand... Let's just say we'll see what happens. I'd be shocked and happy if I got 50 out of 80. So many physics and electricity questions. Pointless.

Keep in mind that they don't figure your grade by averaging the amount right vs. amount of questions. Your percentage is based on other who have taken the test. So, you may surprise yourself!!

Keep us posted!! I'm curious to see how you did!!!

I just got the scores in today. One week after I took it, I stared at the envelope for an hour before I opened it.

The science was tough and I got what I expected after finishing high school 11 years ago, but I killed the verbal and math. All those years of recreational reading paid off!

Verbal: 57/60

Math: 36/40

Science: 41/60

Composite: 148

AD Composite Percentile Score (The one my school goes by): 98!!!
