so ticked off...

today i went to re take my kaplan test. i had to re do the math and i got a 50, i need a 55%! UGH! the thing that got me was the questions that had to do with a clinical setting and they were talking about the flow rates of medicine, im not use to working with problems like that or seeing things like that since it isnt everyday math but i think i could have done it if it was worded a little better thoes long word problems get me sometimes. WHat helped you guys get throught thoes word problems on your kaplan?

There must be practice books that Kaplan has out there with these types of problems in it. The only way you will get better is to keep studying and doing these types of questions. There is no magic solution unfortunately.

i actually do have the kaplan book but there arent any questions in the book like the ones i have been getting on the test which is so annoying, thats why i bought the book so i could have an idea of the problems which it did help me some but not with the word problems...Also, do u guys think i should wait and study more and re take it on the next test date? or should i go back today at 4pm and take it? ( i just wana see what most people would do)

Here is a website you may find helpful.....http://www.nurseweek.com/calculators/IVrate.asp

I am currently in RN school, we use book: HENKE's MED-MATH. It is okay. There are practice problems with answers. See if your library carries it.

I would take the time to practice before you write the test again. It's unlikely that a few hours will be enough time.

... im not use to working with problems like that or seeing things like that since it isnt everyday math...

You're thinking about it the wrong way. I'd be willing to bet it doesn't use anything different than adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, probably mostly multiplying and dividing if it's a lot of flow rates. The hard part is figuring out what you need to do when.
