Hello all! I have been lurking around this board for quite some time now, and thought I would give my first post a try since you all are so helpful.
My question was on the PAX-RN pre-entrance exam. I am scheduled to take it this Wednesday. I am not overly worried because I got the Review Guide book that NLN sells and have been through it front to back. I have also taken all of the practice tests in the book as well as the timed tests on the CD-ROM. Even though I have never taken Chemistry, Physics, or Biology, and have been out of high-school for 12 years, I am still scoring an 80-95% on the science portion tests. I even score that well on the math tests while timed (math is not my strength, however that guide has been a great review and has helped me very much). Normally I am strongest in reading comprehension and vocab, however I am scoring just under 80% for that portion. I have made flash cards for the roots/prefixes mentioned in the book to try out this weekend and see if it helps.
So basically, I just wanted to hear from those of you ladies and gentleman that have taken the Pax, and also studied the book. What were your scores? How well does that book actually help your score? And how well should I be doing on these practice tests in order to do well on the actual test?
My school requires a 105 composite score for consideration of your application. I would really like to get higher than that. I currently have a 4.0, but I want all the ammo I can get.
Any insight would be immensely appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
