Kaplan Admissions Test

We have transitioned from the NLN Preadmission Exam to the Kaplan Admission Test. Scores from the NLN exam will no longer be considered.

You may take the Kaplan Admission Test twice per application cycle, at least 30 days apart.  Any additional scores taken during the application cycle will not be considered.

The Kaplan Admission Test is a 91-question, multiple-choice, on-line, proctored test that evaluates the basic reading, math, writing, and science skills of individuals seeking entry into a nursing program leading to RN licensure. The test is taken in person at the ECTC Assessment Center (Room 129, RPC Building—across from the WKU office and down from the ECTC Bookstore).

To register for the Kaplan Admissions Test, go to https://www.kaptest.com/nclex/partner/elizabethtown-community-and-technical-college.
