That does make sense to me. I will be checking into that. I took my Compass test. I made this: Reading: 91 (74 for college level and I think that 99 is the total pts that you can get) Writing: 96 (60 for college level and once again I think out of 99pts) Algebra: 19 (37 for college level, but, I am not sure what the total pts are) I had to use the bathroom so bad and didn't know if I oculd or not. Later I found out I could but was almost in tears and did nto have one mins of sleep the night before as my daughter was sick. I was cramping real bad so by the time I got to algebra I just culd not do it. I tried a couple and then tried solving in my head and just hurried so i could go to the restroom. I knew I would need learning support math anyways, so, although, I know I could have scored much higher I still need it. I just wish I would have done much better. Now, I am getting excited.... Can't wait.. Do ya'll remember your scores? Is my math that bad for someone who has been out of school for a while now?

My brother-in-law works for (I did have the name but then thought that would be like advertising and I am new here and don't know all of the rules yet so I decided to be safe and take it off) and his major was something to do with golf. however, I believe all he did was go to their website after seeing an ad and did some homework and then sent his resume in. he then had to go to couple of places like Atlanta and New York for training and then had to take a test if he passed he was on board if not then he wasn't. He did pass but said it was hard but that is with no experience what so ever in the medical field. his team has won lots of trips to great places they get alot of benefits and not just medical. Tons, like money for trips and so on. Definately, look it up online and go from there. Make sure your resume is updated and mail it in. I wouldn't do it online but if you do also mail it in. Good luck

Thank you Marvie, You are right it seems as if your situation would have been difficult but if you want it bad enough it will happen. Thanks for the encouragement. I know I can and will do it just nervous, since, i just do not know exactly what to expect. You are right 100% though. Did you have to take learning support? Also, where did the test begin on the math? Did it start in Pre-Algebra or Elementary? Was the reading difficult? I am starting to just go over a little stuff before the Compass Test. I am ok with the pre-algebra and almost alright with elementary algebra, taht is what i am going to go over some. Anyways, thanks.

Thanks again. After reading my post again you did very well responding... I am sure also when I go to orientation and so on everything will make so much more sense to me. You did do excellent at explaining it to me. I did find out I am not able to get financial aid this semester so that is why I was asking about how much books are or around usually per semester. The price is so affordable per semester that I am pleased but still for me alot of money to come up with at the last minute with kids, one income, and we just bought a house so now higher payments. I do know though one way or another I will come up with it. That I know just need to plan how much and the financial aid lady was of no help to me, she didn't know or have a clue. Not being rude just it is the truth. About how much does your books run you a semester on the high end so I will prepare and if it is less than wonderful. Again, thanks abunch.

Thank you NurseBunky. I went up there today to give the rest of my stuff for admissions and was told I will have to take the Compass test. I will do that beginning of next week and she said I will most likely get my acceptance letter by the end of the week. I am ok with the learning support but am wondering about what teachers I should aim for, what the gym is like, what kind of classes do I start with, how much books are, what should I expect at orientation, registration, first day at school, any tips, I am also a non-traditional student but they have me down as transfer since I did attempt school almost 10yrs. ago. I just have no idea as to what to expect at all. Can I bring one of those recorders? How long does it take to finish the core classes? Again, thank you.

Hello, I am still in the process of applying to Gordon College. I am going tomorrow for immunization record and then I am dropping off the things that are needed. My question is this, What is the first year like? What should I expect from here on out. I have been out of school for quite some time now. I am a GED and Non-Traditional student. My last school experience was over 10 years ago. I have been worried of being denied but they did tell me that shouldn't be a concern.What are your first classes. Is there anything I can do to start preparing? I know that my first classes is for the core classes but like I said I haven't been in school in a while now and really don't remember much. I am sure I will be in some sort of learning support at first as well. I just want to be as prepared as I can be. I have no clue what to expect or what to do next. I know on the internet their site it says I will need to take the compass test but the lady I spoke with said no. i don't see how they would even be able to place me if they do not test me. If you or anyone you know have taken the compass test, what is it like? My deadline is by July 1st of 2005. please any and all information is needed :) I am nervous as I honestly don't have a clue on what to do or to expect. Please anything would be wonderful.
