NLN Results....

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I took my test on 1/27....I read on here some people are getting their results back in 12 days...well that's today. Does anyone who took their test that day have theirs back? How about those of you that took it just before then...are your results back yet?

I was fine this morning until I looked out my window and saw the mailbox. Then it hit me. Now I'm a NERVOUS NERVOUS NERVOUS wreck!!

Alrighty...hmmm. Well I'll be waiting on the mail truck.

Hair-I would check and see if the hospitals, etc. around you will hire a RN based on the diploma program. I have heard many in NJ won't. I would also check into several community colleges in your area to see what their requirements are. That is what I did.

Thanks roxxy. That makes perfect sense. I have heard that they put some nursing questions on the test, but that they don't count. I hope all the others that don't count are the ones I get wrong. lol

I will tell you...I made 46 out of 60 on Verbal which blew me away that I missed that many. 31 out of 40 on math, and 44 out of 60 in Science...I was THRILLED with my science scores because I was sure I failed. I heard tonight at school some people were making 80s! A lot of my fellow competitors were in the 120s so I'm hoping with a few points higher, it will give me better chances of getting in.

Hope that helps Batman...by the way my hubby's best friend thinks he's batman! Ha! Still prayin' for ya.

Ok, now I am confused. you got a composite score of 135?right? I got a composite score of 137, but my numbers are different than yours.

I for 43 out of 60 in verbal, 27 out of 40 in math, and 39 out of 60 in science. How can I have missed more than you and got a higher composite score? and my Composite percentile score is 96%?? I am confused!! Maybe we are not reading them right,?? O'boy, I am stressing now!

From what I understand you are being compared only to people applying to your program as they are your competition for a spot. The scores and percentiles will vary according to how each school does. People at your school did a smidge worse than people at JD's school. Your scores appear to be accurate so don't stress.

Is it wrong that I pray I am taking the test with the dumbest people on the planet?! :roll

LOL!! It's been my nickname for years. I am however a BatGirl. :chuckle

That helps a lot. I hope you all get in. My guess is with the scores I have been seeing from all of you that you are all safe.

Hey

What Batman said would make sense as to the difference, but it says on my result page that, "Scores on this examination form were updated using a pre-equating sample of 25,034 examinees tested in 2001-2002." So I assumed that meant that was the group we all were compared to, but now I am not sure. Maybe some scores are based on those you tested against, like the composite, and some are compared across the country? I have no idea. It also says, "Percentile norms are based on performance of:" and then it lists three different groups, diploma, ADN and all applicants, and then it lists the amount of people in each group, the number of programs, and the number of states. So after writing this I am thinking that maybe the percentiles are based on this larger group and maybe there is a different score for people you are testing against? I think I am making this way more complicated than it is!! :confused: But my overall impression is that it is based on more than just the people you sat next to for the test.

I received a 49/60 on verbal (92nd percentile), 38/40 in math (98th percentile), and 48/60 in science (97th percentile). It put me in the 99th percentile overall and a composite score of 148.

Not sure if that will help since we don't know what we are being compared to, but maybe someone will figure it out! :)

Welcome to the forum avamarie! Any kind of distraction helps!! I found the wait to be horrible so do whatever works! I have to wait just a short time more before I can be pampered, hubby is coming home from Iraq for his mid tour leave very soon! :) Yay!

I don't know HOW they score, but my teacher said the questions were weighted. You might have not got as many right as I did hairtocare, but you might of had harder questions. Who knows...or maybe batman is right. All I do know is that my school is taking the top 23 scores and so far after comparing the last few days and last night I've got the 3rd highest--one girl made a 148 (freakin' genius!) and my friend made a 137. I hope no one is higher....geez is that wrong? Ha!

And yes, any distractions...HELP!

O' how is one to know? geez, I am going to be on pins and needles now regardless until that letter comes in, and hopefully it is one of acceptance!!

I'm sure it will be..you scored HIGH! Do you know anyone else's scores to the school you are applying? Some people at my school were scoring in the 80s! I can't help but feel bad for them...these are people that want it as badly as I do.

Can I just say I hate that test? I love that I did well but geez, your whole life is based on one stinkin' test. Talk about pressure! Then you have to wait for results...then for letters. AGH!
