Entrance exam questions???

I've never heard of that particular test, personally. I live in PA as well and I took the NET to get into my program. But, based on that test I'd say that brushing up on math is a good idea if it has been a while since you've had it or if you have problems with things like fractions, etc.

Best of luck on your exam! I hope you walk out of there thinking "sheesh, all that worrying for nothing!".

I agree with Meow as well. Never heard of that one before. The only new one is the teas test and That one has science in it.

Thank you both. I also find it strange that there is no science. I called the school today and double checked.

My math skills are really improving. Three weeks ago I had no idea how to figure out a basic algebra problem. Thanks to my hubby and my very smart 11 year old son I am catching on to it.

These vocab words though...arghhhhh..I can't even pronounce half of them. I do okay with them if they are in a sentence form but trying to find the opposite meaning when it only gives me the word has been very challenging. :uhoh3:

It has been a few years since i took algebra and i studied for 2 wkes and finally figured it out . I took the NET on computer here and I passed the math but failed the reading. The reading consist of just basic reading comprehension. I figured what the heck reading was easy. Boy was I ever wrong. If its been a while since you have had anything my advice study all.:nuke:

I have never heard of that specific test. But the entrance test I took was not too difficult, although I did have to brush up on basic algebra---- I hate math. Thankfully my DH is a mathlete and he helped me with the basics. I would have done better had I brushed up on fractions, so I would recommend that. I actually did better in the math than the reading part, as there is a critical thinking part that didn't make much sense- any of the answers seemed to fit. So I would brush up on that too..... The whole thing was not difficult- just hard because I hadn't done any of that stuff in like 18 years since highschool!!!

Sorry for the rambling, hope that helps.

Thank you for the advice.

I have gotten pretty good at fractions. As a matter of fact..I have been studying them so much that I see them when I close my eyes. :bugeyes:

I am trying to do alot of the reading comprhension pre tests but I am running into a problem that 2 answers seem to fit in my mind.

I guess I will find out on Monday. What is there to study for the critical thinking part of the exam? There is no critical thinking part to my review guides.
