Hey guys! I am not gonna lie I found the HOAE test a bit challenging. But then again I am a mature student so it's been a while since I did any kind of test. I found all the other sections quite easy but struggled with math questions (they weren't hard I just didnt have the time to finish them all) and bio/chem stuff. If I had done this exam right after my high school I would have found this test quite easy but since it's been a while I was quite rusty on some of the concepts. I purchased a couple books and studied them and they were quite helpful. Would definitely encourage doing some practice questions to help you gain speed and confidence. Other than that I'm sure u guys will do great! Best wishes!!!

hey guys, I just took the HOAE exam two weeks ago. I didn't find the test to be to challenging.

For biology there were questions like what is the power plant called, etc

and Chemistry there were questions like what is a better insulator copper or brass and what's a better conductor.

it is all multiple choice. I have the HOAE testing pdf file here which you can use to study. I feel like it helped me a lot. there are questions in the book that are very useful.

I teach Chemistry and I have never asked a student whether copper or brass is a better conductor or insulator. That type of question seems a bit out of place to me.

It would not be a fair question for a closed book exam. However, it would be a fair question to ask if students they had an open-book, open internet exam like the ones I give in my courses.

I just applied, as I saw that they have waived the HOAE exam. Not sure why it was waived as other colleges are having applicants complete it online. Now Sheridan is basing admissions off of, your top six marks, including the required prerequisites. Did you apply?

Hey, my average for each class is high 80s and high 90s. The 87 is a good mark for you to get an offer in 2021! however not sure if they are going to bring the HOAE exam back for 2021 admissions. @dreyy

Mine were in high 80s but I also had my hoae score considered as I was initially supposed to start in May 2020 but due to Covid19 that semester got canceled so now I'm starting Sept 2020.
