Hi,

I've been lurking here for a few days now, and thought that I would speak up. I'm trying my hardest to get into PN school. I just got my NET scores today, and am stressing over whether they will be good enough. My composite is 82%, Reading is 70%, math is 93%. I ran out of time on the Reading comp. portion with 5 questions left. I guessed C on them. Better than leaving them blank, I hope. The school that I have applied to gives extra points for good grades in Anatomy, and Eng 111. I made A's in both classes so I get an extra 11 points.

What do you all think? I'm pulling my hair out here!!! I can handle the truth. No sugar coating please... It's bad for my figure.

Hey there. I think that 82% is a good score! I just got a point or two higher, and if it makes you feel any better I just got accepted into a RN program. Certainly, it depends on the number of applications and the competitiveness of the applicant pool. Each year differs. But, I think you stand a great chance in my opinion. Good luck!

I think your net score is strong. Try not to worry

[Huntersmommy]

Thanks for replying. I do feel better about my scores. I'm trying not to worry. If it's meant to be, it will be. But darn-it, I want in so bad!

Did it say what percentile that put you in? i think that is the more important number.

[Huntersmommy]

Next to my Composite Percentage it says 85 percentile. Is that good or bad?

I believe that means you did better than 85% of the applicants and you're in the top 15% scorer for the exam! =D Congrats!

I think I read the national average composite is 69. Your score is much better than that.

My school give bonus points for your composite on the exam. A score of 80 gives you all the points, so it must be a competitive good score.

Good job!!!

I am waiting for my results this week. I can barely stand to wait.

Yeah, on the results letter that I got, it says that the national average percentage is 69%. I sure do hope that is good news for me. You guys have made me feel better about my score. I am still worried though, because my school only accepts 20 into the LPN program. I'd say that about 100 or so took the NET. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!
Gemberly, I hope you make a great score!!!! Good luck!!!
