This guide shares helpful resources and study strategies to help you prepare for your upcoming exam.
It is a standardized and proctored entrance exam completed by applicants of Nursing & Healthcare Education programs. The exam has been used for over 20 years to assess the academic readiness of prospective students for diverse programs.
The A2 identifies students’ academic strengths and areas where improvement may be needed to fully support their academic program success. It evaluates knowledge and skills in three primary academic areas: English Language, Math, and Science. A composite percentage score is provided by averaging the results of all exams completed.
Admitting students who are academically prepared could improve student retention rates and produce graduates who can fill vacancies in the current healthcare workforce.
