Understanding PSB West Ga Tech LPN - Competitve Selection

[HoneyLPNurse, LPN]

I will be applying for the Fall 2012 LPN program at WGTC. If anyone has questions regarding the PSB scoring system for WGTC feel free to ask. I have taken it once. I scored "pretty good" according to my advisor. At WGTC for admission into LPN the PSB accounts for 50% and grades are 50%. I look forward to hearing from other potential nursing students.

How to calculate Competitve Selection Score.

To calculate PSB score:

Add the last 5 raw scores.

Divide by 305.

Multiply by 50.

To calculate academic portion:

Only the courses needed for admission into the LPN program will be calculated.

Points are given for each grade.

A=4

B=3

C=2

Add the total of points.

Divide by the total points available.

Multiply by 50.

Example: Score total is 21

21/24= 0.875

0.875 x 50= 43.75

Student would add the PSB score and Academic score for Total score for Competitive Selection

Hello,

I was wondering if you could remember any questions from the exam or what each section really boiled down to. All I need is the PSB to get into the nursing program and no one really post anything about it. If you could help me in anyway I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

I do remember some of the test questions, but I do not find it appropriate to share test questions. I did not study for the test but I heard that the GED study guide would help. Good luck!
