Second time taking Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam

Published

This is my second year applying to my local community college here in VA for their RN program. My college requires you to be in the 45th percentile for the following subjects: Reading, Writing, Anatomy, and Math. I did amazing in math the first time, it's my strong suit when it comes to school.

I have taken A&P 1 and 2. Unfortunately, for A&P 2 I got an absolute horrible teacher who actually skipped a few chapters and rushed through everything else. I passed A&P 1 with an A in Lab and B in lecture. A&P2 I got a C, hardly passed, and while I hate to be the student that blames the teacher, I'm blaming the teacher.

When it comes to the English portion, I can't remember what I got but I think I remember not being happy with that score.

What are the best ways I can study for this test? I'm stressing and honestly putting off studying because I have no idea where to even start. I feel so lost and so discouraged from my first time taking the kaplan, but I absolutely don't want to give up.

I have it a lot easier than some folks and I am a stay at home mom of a 2 year old with an amazing supportive husband, so I have plenty of time to study! Where do I start? ?

Hopefully! I’m so stressed for the test! I take mine April 24th! I’m also in A&P 1 now and am taking 2 over the summer so I’m pretty stressed about that. I just keep telling myself, if so many other people have taken it and passed then so can I!

Update: We’re in the program together and best friends!

So I took the Kaplan nursing entrance exam 1st time in April for fall 2024 program and I got a 63 I need to get ATLEAST a 70 so I'll be retaking it in September for Spring 2025 program  .. does anyone know if the second exam gonna be the same exact questions? I underestimated the writing portion. My grades were 17/20 reading...7/21 writing .... 20/28 maths the time went by fast on the math section I didn't get a chance to answer 4 questions. I was so mad and 14/22 science.
