It is a private school, I am not a foreign student but a Canadian citizen since birth and I just needed some sort of clearance. Not sure why its even in the immigrations part of this forum but I just started this account to at least have direct replies, not cheap shots. Student handbook said "the student is given 1 week preparation/ study time prior to the rewrite, with consideration of timely matters going into clinical practice". Point being I was told a day before the rewrite that I had to do it the next day, while I was still having theory/ lab that day. I know how much exams are a must to prepare for the hospital world but Ive already been exposed for quite a long time... multiple choice is part of my weakness. But hands on and applying knowledge + skills are my strengths. Thank you all for your replies though!

Okay good idea! I did the rewrite receiving the 68%, however, I was only told my mark and to do the rewrite the day before rewrite day..which is another thing throwing me off. The student handbook states "1 week to prepare/ study for the rewrite". Thank you cayenne06 for replying!

that would be great, I'll look for the Canadian forum! Thank you!

Hi there, I am a Access to Practical Nursing Student, who was hoping to graduate 3.5months from today. Unfortunately, that looks like it is not going to be happening. I recently did my second to last final exam for this one course and I got a 68% and passing is 70%. The school wants me to resit the level, pushing me back from going to acute care practicum which would be set a week from now. I'm quit distraught because when I accumulate my OVERALL mark from assignments, attendance and this failing 68%, I still have average way above the passing 70%. I am not exactly sure how to go about this because the co-ordinator + director of the campus feel as thought resitting the level will help me practice my multiple choice when I believe that, that's not the case. This one exam is delaying and the staff seem to be overlooking the combination of marks put together. Is this fair or is this politics/ policies of going to a private institution? Should my marks be combinded? Because as of right now, I am passing all 6 courses but due to this one course final mark not including assignments and attendance, its pushing me back to resit over 2%. Let me know what you all think :) feeling a bit miss guided... Kindest regards, Manda
