I got through the entire study guide except for some of the math. My problem is definitely math. I took biology in HS, but they taught some chemistry in the class. I took 10th grade biology in 8th grade, and 12th grade biology in 10th grade. Because of that, they didn't require me to take chemistry or physics when I transferred to public schools junior year. It could also be the fact that I graduated 8 years ago.

Thank you. Your response made me feel a little bit better. I've never tested well. I'd do well in class, but once I had a written test I'd score really low in some subjects. I didn't do too bad on English and Reading. But, I only got a 33 in the math. I got a 48 as my average and needed a 58 to get in. I can retake the test in 30 days, so I might try again. I really had my heart set on getting into this program. The school offers refresher courses for the test so maybe I should take the math class. I graduated HS in 2005, so I think I forgot a lot of information.

I feel so stupid right now. I completely failed with a 48%

I'm applying to an lpn program.. And I also don't see the problem with working in a nursing home. I feel like the elderly need quality care, and if its mostly LPN's doing that then I will be happy to work there.

I haven't officially applied yet, but won't know until the end of June.

If you got into Northeastern you should go there. I live in MA and know it's a good school. It's probably a tough program, but I have the feeling it would look great on your résumé when you try to get a job as a nurse.

I'm planning on it. I'm a school bus driver though, and my son will be in pre-k. So, in between my morning and afternoon shifts ill be able to study. Plus nights after my son goes to bed I can study. I think it's doable if you plan ahead when you can study.

The school I'm applying to needs H.S. transcripts, too. I'm nervous about that as well, because I almost didn't even graduate. I was even failing a class. Two weeks before graduation they handed the transcripts so far, and mine was 1.8. So, I did a ton of makeup work, extra credit, etc. I ended up with a diploma, but I have no idea what my final grades were. However, I'm a lot smarter than I gave myself credit for and I wish I could do it all over. I'd be an honor student if I tried hard enough back then. I'm hoping to pass the teas and give an amazing personal statement ( I'm really good at writing). All you can do is try your best.

Thank you! I will post the results. If I pass I won't know until the end of June, but they said most people who pass will probably get in.

I'm not in nursing school yet. But when I took child psychology I read the chapters before class. I rewrote the chapter in my notebook before the test, which helped me drill it into my brain. Flash cards are great too.

The science and math are my first priorities because they are my weaker subjects. My strong point is English( really I can write a book about nothing, and make it into a huge deal). So I plan on skimming through reading and English once I know I'm okay with the science/math portions of the study guide. I'm really nervous...

I'm taking it on April 17th and I'm so nervous. I have the official study guide and I'm about halfway through the math and also started the science. I need to really buckle down because I'd like to get through it multiple times before I go. I have to get a 58.7 to get in.. Hopefully better.

I've heard that too. I know some people are very specific about where they want to work. But I would be perfectly fine if I could only get a job in a nursing home.

Yeah. That was just an example. But, I really don't have the desire to work in a hospital. I'd rather work in a small doctors office, or even a nursing home. I think I'm going to go through with applying to the lpn program.
