Just study what has been posted here as far as what the math is on the exam. The Kaplan book was not helpful. If you study your A & P and brush up on fractions etc..you should do well. There is way too much information in the Kaplan study guide that isn't even on the exam. I bought my Kaplan study guide in October and started looking through it. I really started studying in January for my exam that was in February. You will waste alot less time if you just go over A&P and math instead. I would say that if you did that and give yourself 3-4 weeks to study those subjects that should be good.

I know the post was an old post for micro, but in case anyone is interested you can take micro online. I took all my A & P's online and the labs were done online as well. I am currently taking chem online and the labs are done online as also. Technology huh!

Sorry I have a correction. I thought I had only missed 3 on the science, but I missed 4. Really pay attention when answering all the questions. It seems like they average about 5 points each, so that is a lot.

I had the same problem with adding decimals with the calculator until I realized if I entered 0. then the rest it would let me :) It won't let you add .362 and 1.629 for example, because unless you start the .362 as 0.362 it will calculate it as 362.

I just took the Kaplan at the University of South Dakota. My score was 88. I did study using the Kaplan book, but honestly you don't need to know any of the science information that was included in the book except for the A & P. In fact, you need to know more A & P than what the book included, so getting a cliff book or any A & P review book would be better. We did get to use the calculator on the program. I am posting this, because I had a hard time finding information on what to expect on the exam. Keep in mind that every question missed deducts more points than you would think, so really study. For instance, I missed only 1 on the reading section and that brought that score down to 95%. I missed 3 on the science and that brought that score down to 85%. Just take your time, use all the time allotted, and make sure to go over your answers before starting the next section on the exam. I was literally the last one in the room :) Not because I am slow, I was just being very cautious. They are not only looking at your total score they are also looking at your critical thinking ability. The Kaplan study guide, in my opinion, wasted a lot of time that I could have used concentrating on reviewing my A & P. Good luck to all of you looking for Kaplan entrance exam information to prepare for your exam. I hope this helps.

The A & P was mainly neurology ( go over what controls what on brain function), cardiovascular and respiratory , but also 1-2 questions each on immunity,blood, renal, GI, homeostasis, and sensory. There was no geometry on my exam. Just lots of fractions, ratios, conversions, some dosage calculations, a couple simple algebra problems and about 7 word problems.
