PAX in 15 hours!

Published

I really should be sleeping. I have class at 8 am, have to be up in 6 hours. I can't believe I'm taking my entrance exam!

So far if things continue as they are I should end up with a 3.5 GPA with either an A or B+ in A&P 1. That along with my PAX is what will decide my entrance into the nursing program! Maybe they take into consideration that I have signed up to finish the majority of my non nursing classes next semester.

Eeeeek, I'm nervous, sort of. Haven't studied as much as I would have liked but as long as there is little to no physics I should be fine. Wish me luck!

Omg you made me so nervous lol. How was it ? Tell me that you passed, I take mine sometime in Jan 2015

OMG I passed!!! I got a freaking 150!!! I almost cried when I saw my score.

English portion, not so bad. Not nearly as hard as the review book in my opinion, but there were a few vocab words that I completely guessed on. There were 84 questions but only 60 were graded. I got 86% correct, so 51 correct. I finished in about 30 minutes out of the 60 allotted. Placed me in the 96th percentile.

Math: I can do math with my eyes closed. Super easy for me but I did need the full 60 minutes since there is no calculator, fractions, decimals, basic algebra, basic geometry with a few area/perimeter questions. 54 questions, only 40 graded. I got a 100% so 40/40 correct. Placed me in the 99th percentile.

Science. Oh dear god. I really though I failed this part miserably. Questions on everything, biology, chemistry, physics. A little bit of everything. I felt like I was straight guessing on 25% of the questions and best-guessing on another 25%. FOUR questions on anatomy of the eye, really? Velocity, Kelvin to C and F conversions, electrical currents, wavelengths, some basic bio, genes, a little bit of everything. By the time I was finished with science I was hoping that I did well enough on the other two questions to simply get 120, above passing and I think high enough to get me into the program. 84 questions here also, 60 were graded. I got a 75% so 45/60 correct. Placed me in the 95th percentile.

I am very very happy that I took A&P I before I took this entrance exam, I know at least 10-20 of the science questions were covered to one degree or another in class so far. Soooooooooooooooooooooo soo so so so happy. Now to wait for the end of the semester to see if I can get a 3.5 GPA and then wait until February/ March to see if I got accepted!!!!!

Congrats!!! I'm super excited for you. I'm sure you will get in with that score. Would you say the red book is reliable ? Esp for math and science sections ?

Definitely. My suggestion is to focus on all parts of the science equally, not just bio, plenty of chem & physics on there
