Published

hi everyone! i wanted to start this thread so we can keep each other updated on our applications. im scheduled to take the nln-pax on tuesday. good luck to everyone!

Yes, its under the reports tab then click Participant Report. It will show you the composite score, what % of questions you got correct and the percentile compared to others.

Goodluck to you both! I applied to compton because they apparently get a lot less applications but then I saw this attrition/retention rate after the fact and got nervous. Here it is if anyone's interested

Accreditation Retention/Attrition Rates

thanks for the info! i just checked and i got 132! my total points now is 69. hopefully that will at least get me on the alternates list. good luck on your teas! do you know when we're supposed to hear back from el camino?

Nice! I'm happy with how quick the application process is for SMC. According to last semester's SMC thread, we should find out in about a week if we're accepted or not. I'm not too sure about Elco, the admin. assistant at Compton said if we're invited to take the TEAS it will be in late October so I assume invites will be going out either this week or next.

which part of the test do you feel uneasy about? for me, it was definitely science. im pretty confident in the math and verbal sections.

The math part because I ran out of time and made "educated guesses" and I just checked my score ....113! One point from the min! I got the lowest mark in the math of course :-/

okay great! i hope we get invited to take the teas at el camino. how many points did you have for them? im sure smc will accept you into their program. 89 points is very impressive!

i'm pretty sure everyone that has taken the test has their results by now. my friend called the school yesterday and was told the same thing they said to you - decisions will be sent out at the end of this week or early next week. i'm hoping earlier than later. (fingers crossed)

does anyone know if they give you a # if you are selected as an alternate?

I think I was at around 52 at El Camino, but I hope you're right, I would love to go to SMC and not have to bother with the TEAS :)

I think they do because I was reading a previous thread for SMC and someone said they were number 13. This wait is so painful! I want to know what the chances of getting in are with any passing score

I checked my score and I barely passed. really hoping to get in. This is my last resort because the other 2 programs I applied to I got rejected.
