Rockland BOCES LPN Program August 2019 Cohort

Published

Hello to anyone out there in the process of applying to Rockland BOCES LPN Program for August 2019! My name is Dorothy and I am taking the entrance exam in a couple of weeks and I am feeling pretty confident about it. If anyone else is in the same boat as me or has been through the program, it would be great to get your take on the experience!

Hi Churchgirl!! It went well! I passed! I was definitely nervous and took so long to get through the reading comp. I had to keep reminding myself to focus and stay confident. I suggest to continue practice questions, time yourself and assess what your strengths and weaknesses are so that you can feel prepared. Phase 2 is now handing in my paperwork and waiting to be scheduled for an interview. Thank you for your support and for reaching out! I know you can do it. It is very simple I think, as long as you study and practice ?

A very big congratulations to you. I am happy you made it. What of the maths question, how difficult is the math and are you allowed to use calculator?

Thank you so much! I am happy I made it past this part, however, there is more to go with the paperwork and interview. The math, for me, was not that difficult. I scored much better on the math than I did the reading comp. I did take a College Algebra course about a year ago so that was very helpful. Pmen, who commented earlier in this thread said it best, its mostly fractions, decimals, percentages, multiplication, division, etc. There is a calculator for some questions, which I actually forgot about halfway through lol. But all of the problems can be done by hand. I've been practicing math questions without a calculator, which again, I suggest. Have you been practicing on the sample questions? It is basically the same.

Hey churchgirl! Thought I’d check in with you. How’s it going?

Nothing much. Just trying to concentrate on the upcoming text. I’m just worried but I trust in God. Thanks so much for checking on me. Have you had your interview yet?

Please, if you don’t mind, how many questions for the English and maths? And are they similar to the practice questions? Thanks

Trust me I understand. I was praying midway through exam and even wrote down Jeremiah 29:11 on the scrap paper they provide (not the whole verse, just that, to remind me that God has a plan). The exam is only only only the Reading Comprehension (20 or so questions I believe I can’t remember exactly) and Arithmetic for math (about 20 questions as well). It is very similar to the example questions and not complex. I know I have a hard time taking my own advise like this but try not to overthink it. You got this! And God has a plan.
