Hey Tres, thanx so much for your reply.. it's good to know that i need to basically study my behind off to get a top score! I was sure i needed a top score, but your example just made it clearer! About the study guide (156pgs) for the nurse entrance exam, i ordered that yesterday from ERIworld.com.. I was told by the vo-tech school (i hope to get into) to go to that site and order the study guide. I was wondering how your interview went? What type of things do they ask, etc.? The program i am interested in is 15 months long from Sept of one year to Jan. of the next yr. and the exam is offered 4 times a year.. thanx again for your help! Tina
