Thanks Don1984! This is my last chance to get in so I was being so nervous and literally couldn't do anything until I find out the result. Thanks for the advice!

Hi, I applied for the nursing program of Fall 2014 at Oakton College. They have requirements of having at least 60% or above of the composite score and 60 or above on verbal. I took my NLN on 2/6 and got the result of 142 with 70%on verbal (answered correctly) which gave me a 74 on relative performance score, math and science with 98 on relative performance each. But I don't know whether the score is good enough for the cut line. They said they'll give out the acceptance letter at the end of March, and I'm so stressed out to find out the result. Do you think it's a good idea to call the nursing advisor to ask about the probability of getting accepted to the program?

Hi, I took NLN in June and got the composite score of 132. The problem is that my English is NOT my primary language and my reading score was really low.. I got Math and Science scores of 98 and 99%, but really bombed in Vocab/Reading comp section and because of the reading comprehension, I wasn't accepted in the Spring 2014. I'm planning to re take NLN in January 2014 to apply for the Fall 2014 and I don't know which study guide to use mainly for reading/vocab. Would GRE or SAT/ACT study guide work? For the last test, I only had 1 month to prepare so I used the review guide from NLN (the red covered book), Study guide from Kaplan, McGrow-Hill, Learning express and Barron. Because I had 1 month to study for NLN, I mainly studied the science section to refresh my memory with physics and chemistry. I studied the reading section too, but then I realized that there's no short cut for studying it so I just gave up. Any suggestions or recommendations for study guide to enhance the vocab/reading comp? I have 5 months to study on it (soley on reading/vocab), so any advises will be appreciated!
