QUESTION:

When r u taking it, cuz I am taking it tommorrow ( march 13 2009) at 1-4 at Saratoga boces, so I can e-mail ya n let ya know exactly what it’s like.
So the test is an 8 part exam only 4 parts are actually things you need to study for, the other 4 are stress levels, learning styles, reading rate, I forgot what the last one was but its answering questions about you.
The four you need to know
Mathematics 33 questions, you have 30 minutes.
Pretty easy make sure you review percentages, fractions, dividing adding and multiplying decimals. Systems of equations, exponets basically 10th grade algebra.
Reading Comprehension- This one threw me. You have 30 minutes to not only read the passages but also answer the questions. 45 questions i believe there were either 3 or 4 passages. About 8 paragraphs long, on average. This one is the tough one get through this the rest is a cake walk. Practice reading fast and pulling out the important information.
Written Expression- I think it was 30 mins but our proctor let us go into our break to finish. 45 questions. This is about sentance structure, spelling punctuation, review semi colons and colons. How to form plurals, for instance tomato plural is tomatoes, they will give you four choices tomatos, tomatoes, tomato’s and tomatoe’s. Remember an appostraphy s shows possesion. Difference between run ons and sentance fragments. Spelling is pretty much the last thing in this section, that you may want to review.
Science, 15 questions 15 minutes, all I can say about this is I hope you are good at science. I studied for 6 months and still didnt know half of the science questions. However the science doesnt actually count towards your grade it is just for the teachers to see how well ( in my case how poorly) you do.
Well if you havent taken the test yet good luck!

    LPN entrance exam is a piece of cake. If you just got out of high school, it is especially easy since it’s just like taking an ACT.
