Pre-employment exam, ClassMark

DarcyInSATX · Mar 4, 2018

I'm trying to get my first LVN job at an agency that does children's home health care. I have to take a ClassMark exam at home before an interview in a few days.

Instructions say 100 questions, no time limit, but must be finished in one sitting. Will allow you to go back and change answers...hooray, I think, unless I overthink questions. Ten questions per page. Cannot leave any questions unanswered. Passing is 80! No word on: 1) SATAs? I assume yes. 2) Med math? Probably. 3) Strategy questions, "always/never"? Assume yes. 4) Alternative format questions? Assume... well, yes. 5) Allowed to use the Internet? Don't think they can stop me. :-)

ClassMark also downloaded a file on my computer with exam prep, including info on seizures that we didn't cover in VN classes. Yes, I will print and study that. :-)

I passed NCLEX with 85 questions in two hours, so I assume this will take me at least three hours so I can try to check every answer to make 80. It's 7 pm now, I'm gonna wait until after tomorrow morning's obligations.

I wish I had created a ClassMark account yesterday, so I could see the instructions and decide to start the exam earlier today.

If I don't pass this, I've also been accepted by a staffing agency that didn't ask for an exam.

Does anyone have an other pre-employment exams to report? I saw a few other exams mentioned in other threads, but they weren't all that recent.
