4 Steps to Prepare for Entering 

Practical Nursing, Diagnostic Medical Sonography and Surgical Technology programs have 

substantial class work and homework that require students to be proficient readers with 

a wide vocabulary and competent math problem solvers. BOCES highly recommends that 

students take these four steps, however, those who have completed a recent academic program 

with strong grades may consider proceeding directly to Step 4. Most students find that the 

Prep Class for the Pre-Entrance Exam helps them prepare for the rigorous Pre-Entrance Exam, 

gain self-confidence, and solidify their interest in pursuing the academic work necessary to 

succeed in these programs. Note: A successful score on the Pre-Entrance Exam is the first step 

in applying to these 3 programs but does not guarantee admission. 

Step #1 Take this math and reading test to be certain you have the math and reading 

skills to be successful on the Pre-Entrance Exam. 

Math & Reading Test (Register early, seating is limited.) 

Students MUST satisfactorily pass this test with a successful score before enrolling in the Prep 

Class for Pre-Entrance Exams for Practical Nursing, Surgical Technology or Diagnostic Medical 

Sonography. AMT students must earn a successful score on the Reading & Math Test prior to 

enrollment. The test covers basic math computation and reading comprehension. Bring a blue or 

black ink pen and photo id. If registering on night of the Math and Reading Test, only cash or 

money order accepted (exact amount if paying in cash). If you register online, bring your receipt. 

The Math and Reading Test can only be taken once within a 6 month period. NOTE: Those who 

successfully pass the Math & Reading Test will receive a $25 reduction in their tuition for the Prep 

Class. Questions: (631) 667-6000, x320. 

Math and reading test is given 6:30-10:30pm, $25, (1 session), DH-BldgB, Wilsonian Room

14FTAB101e Tu 9/10 

14FTAB101F Th 9/12 

14FTAB101G W 10/30 

Step #2 Based on the results of your Math & Reading Test, you will be advised either 

to take the Basic Skills Class (Step #2) or enroll in the Prep Class for the Pre- 

Entrance Exam (Step #3). Those with top skills may consider skipping Steps #2 

and #3 and registering for the Pre-Entrance Exam (Step#4). 

Basic Skills Class 

Your success in any health class will depend on your ability to compute basic math problems and 

understand textbooks and written directions. This class will help you boost both your English 

and math skills. Successful completion of this course qualifies you to retake (once) the Math and 

Reading Test given at 6:30PM on the last night of class. To register for the Basic Skills class, call 

(631) 667-6000 x320. 

14FBAS101A $199 9/16-10/30 DH-C/27 M & W 5PM-10PM 60hrs, 13 sessions 

Step #3 

If you earned a satisfactory score on the Math and Reading Test, register for 

this Prep Class or you may register for the Pre-Entrance Exam (Step#4). (BOCES 

statistics indicate that the passing rate on the Pre-Entrance Exam is higher for 

those who complete this Prep Class, but enrollment does not guarantee a passing 

score or admission into any of the 3 programs.) 

Prep Class for Pre-Entrance Exams: PN, Surgical Technology & Sonography 

To enter our Practical Nursing, Surgical Technology or Diagnostic Medical Sonography 

programs, (next available Sonography class is July 2014) you must satisfactorily pass the 

Pre-Entrance Exam. Take this Prep Course to help you prepare for your Pre-Entrance Exam. 

Work on your reading comprehension, basic math skills, and critical thinking. Note: 

Prospective Sonography applicants in this Prep Class would take the Pre-Entrance Exam in 

December for admission in July 2014. Prerequisite to the Prep Class: Satisfactory score on 

the above Math and Reading Test. To register for Prep Class, call (631) 667-6000 x320.

Build Your Foundation for a Career in Health Care 

Human Body for Health Careers 

The study of the human body and its 

systems is the first course in any Health 

Careers program. Careers in nursing, 

physical therapy, surgical technology, 

medical assisting, sports rehabilitation 

and personal training are a few careers 

that require a solid understanding of the 

human body. College level Anatomy and 

Physiology encompasses a vast body of 

knowledge causing many students to be 

overwhelmed and easily discouraged. 

This course offers an introduction to the 

human body, provides an understanding of 

body systems and lays the foundation for 

more detailed anatomy courses. Strongly 

recommended for anyone considering 

applying to a health career program.

Math for Health Careers 

If you are considering any career in health 

care, this course is a must because good 

math skills are essential for calculating 

medication dosages. We will move from 

addition, subtraction, division, and 

multiplication to fractions, ratios, and 

proportions. Learn the systems used in 

measuring doses of medication and then 

learn to solve common dosage problems 

and complete temperature conversions. 

Practice using military time, a medical 

standard. All classes at NPT/210.

the Lifetime Learning Credit, which is a tax

20% of $5,000 of educational expenses, so 

the maximum benefit is $1,000 for each tax 

year. For further information, contact your 

tax advisor. 

Are there any additional costs? 

In some instances students are required to 

purchase textbooks, personal protective 

equipment or personal tools. The course

Textbooks for Tech classes can be purchased 

online and delivered directly to your door!

determined by each vendor and will vary. If 

you have any questions about the textbook for 

your class, call (631) 667-6000 x320. 

Will I receive a certificate? 

Yes, you will! Certificates of completion are

course. To be eligible for a certificate, you

Generally, financial aid is awarded on the basis

Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

government to look at your income, dependents 

and assets and calculate how much you and 

your family can be expected to contribute 

towards education. Financial need is the cost of 

education less the amount you can contribute. 

Federal Pell Grants 

Based on federal eligibility determined by the 

FAFSA, this award money is used for tuition 

and does not have to be repaid. 

Federal Direct Loans 

Students may qualify for subsidized or 

unsubsidized loans based on financial need. 

Federal Plus Loans 

Available to eligible parents of dependent 

students. Repayment of principal and interest 

begins immediately. 

Take advantage of many financing options 

through Western Suffolk BOCES. Financial 

help is available to students who qualify.

for licensing and full-time programs. Ask 

about this option when you register.
