Just wondering.. I think I need to study more.

Is this diagnostic test a 50 question test? I figured it'd be an even number score, but just wondering if it's the same as the one I took or not.

diagnostic test is 180 items

Gotcha. Figured cuz the score wasn't a 50 question test score. Ati will do an "adjusted" score so I was curious. Thanks

So, I'm confused too then.

I got a 56% on the diagnostic.

On my exit HESI I got well over 1000.

Which is a better indicator?

Any advice for preparing to take the diagnostic test? I have to take it within the next couple of weeks.

Do NOT prepare for the diagnostic! The purpose of it is to let you know where you stand and use the information to study effectively. If you prepare, you skew the results which could have negative impact on your exam.

We are required by my school to order kaplan so it's apart of our grade. We need a 60 or better to receive credit. But I understand where you're coming from and I can afford to lose a few points so I will just take it without preparation.
