I don't know if I passed yet. I'm not feeling that good about it. Do you know what score you need to pass incomparison to college scores. My college requirment was a 73.
I'm waiting too but it has only been 28 hours. What grade do you actually need to pass? In my program it was a 73. Do they actually have a grade or do you just have to meet the
I took it yesterday and the waiting is killing me. I did not look to see what question I was on when the computer shut off. It shut off at about 2 hr. and 45 minutes. Does the test really give you a...
I'm waiting for my results. I have a question. What if you go past the 85 and are on say #100 and it shuts off? I made the mistake of not looking to see what # I was on the whole way through the...

My mom died when I was 16 from breast cancer and then my stepmom from lung cancer 8 years ago. I have always thought of oncology. I just never thought it would come so soon. I won't be in a hospital...
