⭐ What Philly Students Say
"I applied to Drexel's 11-month ABSN — already had a BS in Biology but my TEAS was a 70% on the first try. My tutor zeroed in on Reading Comprehension and English (my weakest areas) and gave me a targeted 5-week plan. Retook it and scored 79% composite. Starting the accelerated program in January."

"CCP's nursing program is affordable but the waitlist is long — TEAS score is 35% of your total points. I was working as a home health aide and taking prereqs part-time. My tutor made Science click in ways my A&P professor never did. Scored a 71% composite and got top priority admission."
