Best of luck to you too. I won't give up and have purchased the practice books. Are the retests similar I wonder

Hello all, I am so disappointed and really unsure where to turn at this point. I took the Pax exam yesterday for the second and bombed it again. I have completed a number of courses and earned A & B's in these classes but can't get past this ENTRANCE exam. I mean, I have A&P 1 and 2 complete, nurtrition, micro and so on but the admission test is so difficult for me because they are general science questions with nothing to do with nursing but rocks, clouds, physics, and laws I would need to relearn. If I go the LPN route instead of the RN I may be able to waive this exam but will spend a lot more money for the degree JUST TO BYPASS THIS EXAM. I don't want to quit. I can retake this exam in the summer and will, but wonder if I am just wasting my time. I read other blogs that say that test preparation is a waste because the cd and book don't reflect the questions (I have both and was going to continue using them). How can I pass the college "nursing" courses but can't pass these basic science pre-admission exams?? HELP! I just want to cry. I live in the greater Pittsburgh area.
