I live in lakewood(ocean county) and it's about 45 min with no traffic. Your nervousness is shared pretty much by all I have met so far.... you are right this test isn't a make or break test but we all are entering a very intestine course and I think at least for myself I wanted to start on a good note..... I studied from online sources. They sent a link to a Web site that offers demo questions I found helped me brush up on my math skills.

Yes I got the link also, haven't gone on it yet, been practicing from the McGraw hill 5Teas practice test book. I will be commuting about 40 mins too without no traffic.

I have applied for student loans and was just approved

I know there is a scholarship available December time..... I have been working and putting savings away for the possibility of getting into an accelerated program. I know there is usually so surplus money that comes with the student loan.... but not sure how much. I might be worth while to reach out to friends and family it's definetly a humbling thing to do but if it makes a difference in my ability to attend school I tried it.
