academic aptitude, science and reading comp are the only sections that matter

My tip for the academic aptitude section would be to just choose random answers for all math questions unless it is something super simple that you can do in your head within 30 seconds. Then answer all the verbal and non verbal (pattern type) questions correctly. After you have answered all 90 questions start back at question 1 with the time you have left over and go back and answer the math ones correctly. Your individual math score does not matter but your over al score does. The first time I took the test I tried to go in order and answer them all. I only finished 30 questions in the allotted time. I scored a 33 raw score and in the 16 percentile. I went back with the strategy I mentioned above and brought my score up to a 64 raw score and 94% and that was without even going back to the math questions. I could have but I was being lazy. I had minutes left so it would have been possible to perhaps do even better. Reading comp is rather simple.. don't try to read the paragraph and understand it. Read the question being asked and then skim the paragraph for the info you need. I scored a 34 raw and i think 35 is the highest raw score you can get. Science is kind of an either you know it or you don't I just studied the suggested info section of the study manual I bought and I scored a raw score of 82 on that. The things to remember is that only the academic aptitude, science and reading comp scores count... nothing else.

ok... just going off of what the nursing dept told me. whichever

I did have her... loved her. Ended her class with a 98.8. As for my NAT. I had a raw score of 33 and 79 Reading comp adn science respectively and originally a 33 in the academic Ap. Because of the math I only got 29 questions done the first time. When I retook the test I christmas treed the math questions and was able to answer all 90 questions with 8 minutes to spare. I used those 8 minutes to go back starting with question 1 and do the math questions correctly. This way I maximized how many questions I got done and since math doesn't count toward total point I improved my academic ap score from a 33 to 64! I was excited. Also I actually improved my reading comp and science scores to 34 and 82 respectively as well so that brought me up to the 99% from 98% in those categoeries. I was very happy. That is my little tip for the academic ap section. Good luck to you. 223.68 is awesome as well. I think 240 is the best you can get with no work experience and 260 with work experience. If I remember correctly the best anyone has done I think was 230 but I am not sure. So great job.

Hello everyone. Kinda late in joining. I just retook my NAT to improve my academic ap section and ended up improving all 3. I was excited. I also turned my app in yesterday. I went from a 92.8 to a 115.2 on my NAt test. I was thrilled. I applied for Summer 2014 and went into it with 167.8 points. I have now finished micro, human growth, sociology, and a humanties. So my score going in now including my 5 years work experience is 245.2. I am crossing my fingers because we are scheduled to change duty stations in October 2015 and this is my last hope to get school done before we move. Good luck to everyone.

5 pre reqs to go and I am 30 soon to be 31. But I have been in emergency medicine as a ff/medic for 9 years

As far as the looking good I really only care how that applies to my husband and how he feels. But I have started a diet and weightloss program. I crossfit and zumba. I carb cycle for food and eat low glycemic. I think being in shape is important. One of the top injuries for health care professionals is a back injury. Staying in shape makes your job and how you feel so much better. Just my opinion. I have worked as a medic on the truck in decent shape and in horrible shape and I can tell you that I can feel the difference.

How were you able to do this? Is here anyway you can contact me and give me details. My husband is military so I got roped into thinking this was a good idea. They keep adding more and more requirements and requesting more money. I really need to get out of this. Any help would be great.
