PSB-NAT ?

Published

Hi there,

I am taking my pre-req for the rn program. I plan to attend in the spring of 2013. I was hoping some one would know when I should attempt to try and take the PSB-NAT test? I would like to take it at least twice before I apply. I haven't taken my chemistry class or AP1&2 or Micro yet. Should I go ahead and try the first attempt now or wait or what?? Also what books should I study? Thanks for any help..... :)

please dont take it now, save your attempts. You will need to complete your sciences before you take it

Remember that you can only take it twice a year (12 months from your 1st attempt) and 90 days inbetween. I agree with K nurse, that you should hold off on taking it. I used the book that they sell in the campus bookstore. Good luck!

Also wanted to say that I would take the 1st attempt after Chem and A&P1 are completed. That is where most of the questions come from. There were a few Micro, but not a whole lot (at least on mine). Time is your biggest enemy on the NAT, so practice timing yourself with the sample questions in the study guide. The test wasn't very difficult for me, my biggest problem was staying calm while I watched the time tick away! Lol!

Thank you both so much for the help :D.. How on earth do you take it once then have to wait 12 more months to take it.. that really isn't fair in my book... I'm confused. I have heard so many different stories. So once you take it you have to wait a whole 12mths before taking it again? where can you take it at?

No you just have to wait 90 days to take it again. I was just saying that you can only take it twice in a 12 month period. You can take it at any of the FSCJ campuses. :) Hope that makes more sense.

Yeah that does make sense now.. I finally found it on the fscj website and it did answer some of my questions.. I think I will take it after chem and ap1. then again after all the classes are done before applying.. Any good advice for me on teachers for CHM1032c, college algebra, AP1&2 or Micro???? I prefer to be extra prepared.. Thanks!!!!!!

Like the previous poster said, a PM is a private message. Although you can receive PMs right away, you must have at least 15 posts before you can send a PM. For more information, you can go to What are Private Messages, found in the Frequently Asked Questions section.
