  ENTRANCE TESTING
  Effective September 2010

               The School of Nursing provides the following entrance exams onsite for the convenience of                  applicants; the Test of Essentiaal Academic Skills (TEAS), which is mandatory of all
               applicants, the General Achievement Profile (GAP), which is an additional requirement
               of all LPN applicants, with the exception of those LPN'S who have graduated from
               Mercer County Vocational School prior to 1986.

               The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) may be taken up to three times a year, however
               at least one month must lapse between each testing date. The General Achievement Profile
               (GAP) may be taken up to two times in a year with a minimum of a one month lapse
               between each testing date.

               All applicants MUST register in advance for both entrance exams.

               To register for the TEAS, applicants must go online to www.atitesting.com select register
               for TEAS, choose TRENTON, NJ and our school name, select your preferred testing date,
               complete registration and print confirmation page for your records.

              For LPN applicants the General Achievement Profile (GAP) can be taken on the same day
              as the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS). To register for the GAP, upon completion
              of the TEAS entrance exam stop by the Student Affairs Office with your $30.00 money order
              for the GAP and you will be setup.
