Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam?

The Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam, often called the Kaplan Nursing Admission Test, is used by some nursing programs to screen applicants before admission. It usually measures reading comprehension, math, writing, and science skills that matter in early nursing coursework. Schools may customize policies around scheduling, score use, and retakes, so always confirm details with the program where you're applying.

How many questions are on the Kaplan Nursing Admission Test?

The commonly used Kaplan nursing admission format has about 91 scored questions. The section mix is typically reading, math, writing, and science, with science often focused on anatomy, physiology, and basic life science concepts. Your school should provide the exact current format before you register, because administration details can vary.

How long do I have for the Kaplan nursing entrance exam?

Many Kaplan nursing entrance exam administrations allow about 165 minutes total. That gives you some breathing room, but pacing still matters because reading passages and science questions can take longer than they look. A good practice routine includes timed sets so you know when to move on instead of getting stuck.

What score do I need to pass the Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam?

There is no universal Kaplan passing score that applies to every nursing program. Some schools set a minimum composite score, some weigh section scores separately, and competitive programs may use the score alongside GPA, prerequisites, interviews, or application materials. Check your nursing program's admissions page or contact the department directly for the requirement that applies to you.

What subjects should I study for Kaplan nursing entrance exam practice?

Focus on reading comprehension, basic math, grammar and writing conventions, and science. For math, review fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, conversions, and word problems. For science, spend extra time on body systems, cells, gas exchange, circulation, and the kind of foundational anatomy and physiology that shows up early in nursing school.

Is the Kaplan nursing entrance exam harder than the TEAS or HESI A2?

It depends on your strengths. Students who are comfortable with science but rusty on reading may find Kaplan different from TEAS or HESI A2, while others feel the timing and question style are the real challenge. The smartest comparison is practical: take a small set of Kaplan nursing entrance exam practice questions and look at which section costs you the most points.

Can I retake the Kaplan Nursing Admission Test?

Retake rules are set by the nursing program, not by one national policy. Some programs allow a second attempt after a waiting period, while others limit attempts during an application cycle or only count the first score. Before scheduling a retake, ask whether the school uses your highest score, most recent score, or an average.

How should I use Kaplan nursing admission test practice questions?

Start with a mixed set so you can see your baseline across reading, math, writing, and science. Then review every explanation, including the questions you got right, because that is where you catch lucky guesses and weak reasoning. After that, rotate between focused section drills and timed mixed practice so your accuracy and pacing improve together.
