Answer 2

Well there is no standardized national entrance exam for nursing school that I know of currently. (I could be wrong, it won't be the first time) As far as I know, only the exam to get licensed is a national exam and the same in every state. Each school in each state can give whatever kind of entrance exam they like. Different school are testing for different qualities. A 2 yr technical school and a 4 yr BSN program will be testing for different strengths in your educational background.
Call the school where you will be taking the exam and ask, to be sure what your test will contain and if it is timed. They can give you an idea on what to study and are usually happy to answer your questions. If it helps, my test was timed, I live in the New England. Good Luck !!
Unlike 'MikeInRI' my test questions were all relating to Math, Sciences, English Comprehesion, Biology etc. There were no questions that did NOT count toward the final score. So call the school and ask and be sure.

Consequently, the below information will concentrate on the sections that count towards your score and really matter.
