Janew Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Good luck to you! Check back in and let me know how it was! I just registered so I’ll be taking the practice exam in about a week to get a feel of what the exam is like. Are you a CMU student? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janew Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Does anyone know if CMU is accepting 40 or 60 students for matriculation? I read 60 on an article sent by one of the advisors but it didn't say when this would be implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shannonj Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Curious how the exam went? I take mine tomorrow at home and am getting all prepared for it. I'm honestly mostly worried about sitting still for 4 hours- it's kind of a long time. No breaks? No bathroom? No water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely is a long test! lol 2 hour blocks with a 10 min break in-between. Are you taking it at home? If so you have to get permission from your proctor to leave your room or wherever you are testing! Also just an FYI it takes 8 WHOLE WEEKS to get your scores.... I even called exam master to see if I could pay to expediate getting my scores and she said no; she also mentioned that it will most likely be the full 8 weeks.

shannonj Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I hope I get to take the break at home! It didn't say anything about it online- just that leaving the camera is strictly prohibited. I'm really worried about the bathroom! Lol I get so nervous for exams... wow that is a long time! We can still apply without the results though, right? I am just applying to CMU this round and am an alumni so I was told it would be okay to apply a little later in the cycle since I will get an interview- I will be taking the test and then getting CASPA submitted ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as to how long it took you to get your scores back? Was it the full 8 weeks or less? I took mine first week of July so it’ll be a nail-biter lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sud Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hi, May I know how many people would have taken the PA-CAT exam? The program form another university insisted I take PA-CAT by July 31st to get scores by August 15th. Due to pro-metric technical issues I could not take the exam. The earliest I could do was August 3rd and I am not sure when I would get my results. When I talked to exam master they said the computer is gonna generate the scores mid month but they are not sure. I tried to talk to the program abut the issue but they said they are gonna consider the application only if they get PA- CAT scores. Now I am just looking for the schools which would accept PA -CAT scores. Please respond anyone? Also please let men know if Central Michigan university would consider my application without scores? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you look at Central's Website it states that the PA-CAT scores are required for admissions to review your application! I don't think it would hurt to call or email them. I'm sorry you are having so many issues with the exam, I hope you get it all figured out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed my advisor just in case- the reason I had to take it so late was because I turned 21 in late April and the Secretary of State was closed for so long so I had no form of valid govt ID until late June.

In the e-mail that PA-CAT sends you stating that your scores are available, there is a link in that e-mail that they provide where you can compare your scores against others that took the exam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
