pbsc fall 2013

tristan78 · Jan 18, 2013

Hi there, I'm finishing up this semester with Chemistry and a humanities elective. I'm applying for this coming fall and should have my volunteer hours done by April. I need to take the procalc and HESI but haven't studied for either yet. I'm curious which book is best to use for studying the HESI and also what tips anyone that they would like to share.

I wish everyone the best of luck... :)

I used the Admission Assessment exam review book, edition 3. It covered all the topics on the test. I ended up with a 91.6 on the test. I definitely recommend that book :)

I'm applying for fall 2013. I'm not applying with the hopes of getting in, but if I do it would be GREAT!! My points are low but from reading the threads from the past the acceptance points usually drops for fall semester so I'm giving it a try. I did pretty good on the HESI and I got a 100% on the Pro Calc. How are u guys looking on points?

I'm in the same boat. My points are low, due to only getting the 6 points for the HESI, did awesome in all the sections except for A&P which brought my score down and can't retake it til November (which is awful, bc I will have to wait to use my new score until next fall if I don't get in, in the Fall or Spring. Praying for a low point cut off!!

I'm aiming for the June 1st (Which is actually June 3rd) deadline. Hesi is scheduled next week. Looking for intel on the Hesi A2 test. Does it go deep into the subjects, or is it general knowledge on the subjects? Anyone here taken it yet?

ChestaWifey · May 17, 2013

I have taking the HESI 3 times. It's a general overview of each subject. I missed the 83 by .01 of a point! I couldve cried (( but I'm hoping for a real low cut off like 23-24.

I just finished 1st semester. I had to take pharm and it was a huge challenge! I highly recommend taking pharm before you get in. Good luck to you guys :-) If you have questions about 1st semester at PBSC, let me know.
