    I think it means the 16th overall session including Dublin, I'm session 10 on Thursday in Dublin so I presume this is what is meant by the session numbers.

    Yeah exactly hopefully it's all done fairly quick with not too much waiting before the exam, if the nerves kick in I'll be doomed. My brain goes to mush when I get nervous haha, can't wait for this to be over.

    Hi all. I done the mature students nursing test. I found it ok some of the math hi was lost on. Does anyone how they mark them. Is it a percentile like the msap or is it a percentage score. Is there a cut off score.

    Maths was ok but didn't get last 2 questions done . At home was no problem but must of been the nerves. Rest of it was ok I think.
    An awful lot of applicants for so little places in Ireland . Fingers crossed.
    Wats meant to be will be I believe

    Thro public jobs near end of May , then result will be explained by text or post I think . 80 points per paper so we will be scored out of 340. That's my understanding

    Hi I sat my exam in Dublin found maths hard as I stupidly stayed on a hard question and didn't move on before I knew it it was pens down. I am confidential I did well in other two but unsure if I managed a pass in maths sure if not there is always next year. I have applied for intellectual disability nursing trinity and dcu has anybody else?

    Hi all I sat the exam in Cork and never got all the maths finished. I have applied for WIT & The Adelaide School of Nursing through both Mature & Standard routes. I completed the Fetac in Nursing Studies last year, however, never received any Nursing offers. So I am hoping for better luck this year........... I wish everyone the best of luck!

    Does anyone know what day the results are out next week or are we to just wait for an email from public jobs with the results?

    Hi CCPixie,

    I think we have to check our message board on www.publicjobs.ie for the results. I also checked online for the date of last years results and they were issued on the first Wednesday of June. They did say it would be early June and with Monday being a Bank Holiday I would check from Tuesday onwards. Good Luck!

    Is it supposed to be marked different this years to others. I'm afraid if it is I won't know if I did good or bad. Did ye all get to finish the three papers in time?

    Hi Pos087,

    I didn't get the maths finished but managed to finish the other two papers. I think the three sections are worth 80 points each giving a total out of 240, that's as much as I know. Going to be a long few days, be glad when the wait is over! Good Luck

    I applied for general and children's, general, midwifery, and ID in UCC. My other choices then are general courses around the country.

    There goes my peace lol. I still don't know how we will gauge our results. What out of 240 would you consider a good result. Best of luck.
