Required Math test for Nursing program

How many of you have to take a test for the nursing program? I'm on my way to take my test right now. It seems crazy to me that they are giving us a test on dosage calculations before we even start! And there's no measurement conversion chart- we have to memorize it...and no calculator!!! We get one hour and 10 questions. I feel OK about it cause I've been practicing (they were kind enough to give us a practice test) but I'm still nervous.

Just when you thought you were in-like-flynn they make you jump through another hoop! :eek:

Oh yeah, we get three tries at the test and must pass at 80% or better.

I'll post later and let you know how it was.

Glad I'm not the only one! The conversions are just ridiculous! How are we supposed to work with a conversion like 1 grain = 60-65 mg. Is it 60mg or 65mg?!?! Can we just come to a consensus here?!?! Very frustrating...
