Re: All About the NET

Silvio Congrats on your acceptance!! I am so jealous!! IN A GOOD WAY!!!

For those of you who have recently taken the NET on a computer, could you tell me if the reading passage is broken up into one or two paragraphs and then a question, or was it the entire passage and numerous questions afterwards?

Is it 33 questions in 30 minutes right?

Re: All About the NET

Hello everyone...Im new to this site. I went for my NET test today and i failed it. I needed a 50% in math and i got a 47% In Reading i got caught up trying to go back and re-read everything and didnt keep track of time and ran out of time not able to answer all the questions so i ended up with a 40% when i needed 50% to get accepted into the school. I felt so defeated and unintelligent!!! I was told I can take the test again this coming Tuesday or Thursday. I an very nervous that i will not pass. Can anyone give me any advice about take the NET test for the second time around? Please any advice would be so much appreciated.

Hello, CSantos!

How you get ready for your nursing program? Iid you get your vaccines/? Do you have to buy a bunch of books?
The best advise for test takers--read what CSantos tels you to do. You have to get used to popular scientific literature. That is what you will get on reading part.
To RCastro: when I took second time test, the test WAS THE SAME including math and reading section. Now you have an advantage you know what will be on a test. Aknowledge mistakes made and go over your them.

Re: HOBET Test

Hi everyone. Like others, I am struggling w/my fears about passing this test. I do have access to the study guide and I was planning to pay for access to the practice test. However, when I went to the website that Carlos referred us to, it appeared as though the math question format is very different f/the study guide. Are the test questions really word problems? According to one website, you will also be doing some graphing and line plotting, but there are no examples in the study guide. Is this misleading? I AM FEELING PANICKED. The deadline for me to test is this Friday since my application has to be in by Monday. Please help. Thanks.

I got my vaccines done all at once since I needed them for immigration purposes.

Books, are just crazzy, mad expensive, i habe been using www.chegg.com where you can actualy rent the book, which comes out way cheaper.


Like I said guys, if you do not have experience test taking, use my steps, I developed them during the process of my NET preparation, since Ihave never taken any test like that, I wanted to take notes, and research the best way for me to score good on it.

Since i have't studied math for 7 years, and English is my second language (anymore i consider it first) i had to find a way to wrap it up, learn all this things, all by my self so i could do well on the test.

The test is weasy, not complicated at all, but you have to prepare your self for it, all you need is about 2 weeks, and you can do great!

try going to DHC (discovery health channel) website and read some of their articles, just as an exemple :

On my reading we had 2 texes one about mamals/hibernation

and another was aligator behavior related. so you have to be sort of familiar with terms and things like that.

DON'T BE SCARED OFF BY THE ENGLISH PORTION all you need to do is concentrate on your test, be able to analyse it (try not to deviate your train of though from it, it taks so much time to go back to the test!!!) try to absorb and comprehend the important keys of the test, and if necessary go back and check the details!

Re: All About the NET

Thanks, Csantos for advise about rent the books. Can you , please, tell me more about that. I never thought about renting textbooks, but if we consider that publishers reprint any other year books just only adding a couple of pages, it is really a bad idea to buy books and spent hundreds of dollars on them. As English is a second language for you , I can advise you to consider Franklin electronic speaking dictionary (Merriam-Webster's collegiate Dictionary) It is just wonderful. I was carrying it throughout my college. You can consider models isbn 9781590744185 or ISBN 1590741749 Also, they have a thesaurus part which I used a lot. I bought them around 40 at ebay.
I'm right know in process looking for the books. Therefore, i will be considering to rent some books. I need more information on that.
