Psb test

Are you taking 168 downtown or at the North campus? I think mine is at the downtown campus.

Mines downtown. It's a night class

Hi! I thought I'd update- for the one person following haha. I took the test today. I found the vocab, reading comprehension and math to be super easy. The time limit on the reading comprehension seemed kind of short, but I ended up finishing without rushing too much. The spelling was surprisingly difficult. I wasn't anticipating having any problems with that part, but I kept second guessing myself! The science wasn't awful. There were definitely questions that I had NO idea on.. but I would say more often than not, I was pretty certain on the answer.

There wasn't a whole lot of physics. More bio, anatomy and chemistry.

let me know if you have any other questions!

What about the math part? Were you allowed a calculator? Well, that part for you is out of the way.. overall how do you feel you did?

No calculators for math.. just scratch paper. It was mostly word problems, so the actual math was fairly easy once you figured out what they were asking for.

Im so glad that part is over! It's been a crazy couple of weeks.. I'm ready to breathe a little.

Overall, I feel pretty confident about it. It'll be interesting to see how I stack up against other people taking the test.

I got my scores today.. I got in the 99th percentile for math, reading comprehension, verbal, and academic aptitude. 86 for non verbal. 83 for science... and 32 for spelling

I don't think I'll have enough points to get in this year since I have to retake both my anatomies. I am glad I took it this year though! I feel good about my chances next year.. once I finish those classes and work on the subjects that I need to improve on (*ahem* spelling!!)

good good luck to you!!

Those are still really good scores though! Good for you! You didn't happen to have a GPA of 3.5 in high school did you? That's extra points. And if you go to one of the informational sessions that's a couple more points. Did you have any classes you could get points for?

I actually have no idea what my GPA was in high school. I got good grades so it might be 3.5... I really don't know! I do have general psych, eng 11, and humanities that count towards points. But I think that still leaves me at low 300's.. and prior years, you needed about 340 to get in. But who knows.. we'll see! Have you scheduled your test?

Well don't count yourself out yet! I haven't scheduled it yet. I'm going tomorrow or Monday. Hopefully I'll have good scores too!

Let me know how it goes! Oh, and I looked at the point sheet.. I think the 3.5 gpa only counts if you are currently a high school student.. which I definitely am not! Haha

I took my test on the same day as you! Best of luck to you!

Hello,
