    Kuriin replied to msmith34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kuriin replied to Orizza's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Sounds like your school doesn't require a 100% to pass. Makes me a little sad because every semester is a new med calc test that must be achieved with 100% or else you fail the semester.
