There are a bunch of topics about this posted in the "Pennsylvania State Nursing Program" section. Good luck!

I took the PSB for Shadyside a few weeks ago. Definently brush up on your science, I have already taken A&P 1 and 2 but there were biology and electrical kind of questions too. The first part of the test is pretty simple- simple math word problems and reasoning. Look up commonly misspelled words- there's a whole section on spelling, as well as vocabulary type questions ( this is to that as this is to what). The reading comprehension was the worst, For me at least. There's about 40 questions and only 15 minutes. I had to retest that section, which was disappointing because I usually score in the 90+ percentile on standardized testing in reading. I think I was just shocked at the lack of time and panicked. On my 2nd go round, however, I scored 99th percentile. I studied with the Barron's nursing test book and it was pretty helpful. Don't stress yourself out- worst case scenario you can always retest, you have plenty of time for fall admission. Good luck to you, hope you so great!
