PSB for Collin College

KPhilips · Jan 28, 2014

Hi!! Yes I have applied for Fall 2014. I just took my PSB yesterday and I too am so nervous! I didn't answer all the reading ones so I am not sure if I will pick up the two points for that?!?!? I am going in with a total of 10 before PSB results but that still doesn't make me feel any better :no:

The questions you don't get to are not considered when calculating the grade. The entire thing is graded on a percentile. This means how many questions you answer correctly are compared to the conglomerate of everyone who has ever taken this test and your score is calculated accordingly. If you get, for example, an 80% on the reading portion, that means you scored higher than 80% of the population who took the same test. It doesn't mean you got 80% correct out of all the questions on there. It is a test that allows them to compare you to all the rest of the people looking to get into a healthcare career. This is why those who race to bubble in as many questions as possible willy nilly tend to score pathetically. It doesn't matter how many you answer nearly as much as it matters how many you answer correctly.

If I come out with a five from the PSB then that will give me a 15 and I don't know how many of the 15s they take eeekkkk so scary haha. I want both of us to get in!!!!
