I took the pax. Wow 100% that is awsome. Verbal is my weakest. Also didn't help that I didn't pace correctly and I didn't answer the last 7 questions, which mean automatic 7 wrong. If I retake it, I will probably get a higher score. and thanks :)

Ok thanks. I guess I'll repost. I don't see a way of moving the thread.

If anyone wants to know how composite scores compare to national percentiles, let me know because I have the conversion sheet in front of me.

I took practice exams twice. The first time I got 45/60 correct. I got many wrong in comprehension, so I worked on strategies. I studied some prefixes, suffixes, and roots to strengthen the vocab part. The second time around I get most of the comp...

Well according to you then I shouldn't really sweat it too much. I was going to try and memorize 500+ words in the next 7 days. Should I just forget it? I've studied a good amount in sciences, the math I'm really good got perfect scores. My schoo...

Correction: PAX = Pre-Admission Exam not pre-nursing entrance exam

Hey thanks, but I'm talking about the PAX, pre-nursing entrance exam. Am I in the wrong section?

When I look up spleen for example, in its definition there are then 10 words I'd again have to look up. Then I'm pretty sure when I look up those words, there'd be yet again more words to look up. So how do you effectively deal with this? I want t...

I'm attempting to get in as a provisionally accepted Achieve nursing student finishing up my pre-reqs at La Salle. My gpa's are: Drexel U 1.6 I was greiving the death of my father. I already told admissions about this. They told me to write a perso...

From my research that means you did AWESOME. The highest score is 200, but really its hard to crack 150. If you got around 150 that means you got mostly all questions right. 143 is REALLY high.

I'm on the website and really close to signing up. The next exam is Nov 29 and there are only 11 seats left. Is that a good amount of time for me to prepare? I've only just started studying. Thanks.

Thanks, I'm going to have to strengthen verbal. I just did a math practice exam and I got all answers correct and I made it in within 30 seconds of the time limit. LOL! go me!

Woops, didn't realize this is the nursing general discussion. I'll be moving this thread thanks.

Well I just did verbal practice questions. I finished in 35 minutes in the allotted 45 minutes and got 45/60 correct. Is that bad? lol Crap I think my verbal is going to be my weakest.

Well the deadline isnt until febuary so I have time. But at the same time I want to get this out of the way. I guess I'm just psyching myself out bc I know if I study I will do well. LOL Edit: Actually too late now I just signed up! I feel alive r...

I need to get straight A's to get into nursing school. I'm getting rid of my playstation portable, my computer, my tv, dvd player. I'm getting rid of all the extra stuff that is cluttering a portion of my wall. I'm even researching different colors ...

Hello All, My name is Phil and I've been researching for the past several days on nursing programs and what it takes to succeed. I found this site and I've been reading through the forums. What a wonderful group of people, thanks for sharing your s...

Ok. I guess I'm just afraid I won't get in. Afraid of a lot of things. So what do you guys usually reward yourselves with?

Well I was on the other end. My ex-gf was in nursing while we were together. I don't have any solutions for you unfortunately. It was DEFINITELY a strain on our relationship. Her top priority was school and she was always stressed out. She could...
