Who is applying into George Mason Traditional program for fall 2015

[Missycarlious]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to start this thread, so that prospective applicants to the nursing program can share our ideas and journey.

Thanks:)

[Missycarlious]

Lanekone, how did it go? And how long does it take to get your results?

[lanekone]

Hey,

I was trying to reply, but kept getting an error message.

I got 88.40% cumulative

Vocab 76%

A&P 88%

Grammar 92%

Math 94%

Reading 92%

I took the Vocabulary part first. I was betting on that section and memorized every single word from the word bank I created using two HESI study textbooks along with Internet sources. Ironically, it was my lowest score. I encountered maybe two or three words from text/quizzlet/proprofs.

Upsetting, but there was nothing else I could have done. I guess, they don't want to give students a chance to study for this section because they want to see the actual level.

wooow i think u did great.. you lucky... unfortunately i had to reschedule mine to the 6th again.. i woke up with a black, i think i didnt sleep well the previous night.. so i had to pay $60 ... Did you use the elsevier hesi book? And did it help..Am happy for u

[lanekone]

Missycarlious, I hope you feel better.

it hurts to pay $60, but now you have extra time to study.

Suggestions:

Take the personality profile parts first and quickly. It will help you to calm down a little bit and gather your strength for the main sections.

Leave the the part that you think is the hardest for last. I did reading last because I'm a slow reader, and English is my second language.

Know how to convert from decimals to fractions and vice versa. It will help you check your work on the calculator.

Know metric conversions: kg to g, m to km, L to mL. Know 1oz = 30 g.

Awww thank you soo much... I will study, what book did you use? I hope i will do well... am nervous

[Missycarlious]

English is my second language too :)

[lanekone]

Happy 2015!

Missycarlious, I wish you all the best at your HESI!

[Missycarlious]

Thanks Lanekone, will let you know how it goes.. ttyl

[lanekone]

Missycarlious, how did it go?

[Missycarlious]

Lanekone, I was just about to write to you, it went good I got 88% Overall, however I am looking for a place where they have the detalied results I cannot find it. How did you see your detailed results when you came home. I only saw it at the testing center. I took your advice I started with the personality test and I worked my way up. My weakness is math so I did that last. After 2 hrs, my head started spinning, I was kinda dizzy so i took a 2 min break to drink soda and wen i came bk I was fine:).. Am glad its over, bt not fully.. I need to study for TEAS now...Lawd hv mercy...
