PSB exam - St. Margaret's

nurse2be13 · Jul 31, 2012

I'm taking the exam August 14th. Are there any tips that could help me study? Also, what are some examples that are on the test. I'm freaking out! I hope I do well on the exam.Thanks!

Purchase a study guide and go from there. I recommend the McGraw hill study guide for nursing school entrance exams. HTH.

I have to retake the math exam portion, I think. I haven't gotten my results yet. I am hoping to apply for the fall.

I would like to get in for the fall also.. I'm so worried about the science portion! I wonder how many people they actually accept.

I'm also applying for the June/August start. I plan on taking my PSB on the 9th. I have all of my pre-reqs and co-reqs done, except for micro which I am taking in the spring semester. I need to buy a test book because I'm kind of nervous about the science and math. I'm hoping that between having all of my non nursing classes out of the way and a highish GPA that i'll be able to get in.

I bought a test book after retaking the science part way to many times and it really helped I also just went to the library and checked out all the nursing exam prep books even if they weren't for PSB and just read over all the science parts and passed with high above average score! The books do help!! Good luck :)

What book did you find most helpful for the math and science sections?

I bought the PSB health occupation exam secrets it was like $70 at Barnes and nobles. (I'm sure you could get it used alot cheaper) it was very helpful even with the test taking skills I read the whole book and all parts of it and it really helped. Then I'd just go to the library and get as many of the practice books from there because they have lots of practice tests to do.

Sorry I didnt reply back sooner. I guess I didn't bookmark my thread. I used barron's the first time and the I also took the Chatham online course for the exam. I think that helped me on the second test the most. I just sent out my application. Good luck to all of you!
