Greater Lowell Tech

Susan thank you so much! Ya I hear ya about getting there very early I will be the other car in the parking lot with you! HA! It is too late to order that book so I am going to check to see if my bookstore carries a copy.... Im a little nauseous..lol...I am studying as we speak...working a lot between now and then and that makes it more nervewracking! Sounds like your studying is going well keep it up!!!!!

The math section is mostly addition, subtraction, fractions and percentages, multiplication and division. There wasn't any geometry or any other kind of math. Just basic algebra.
The reading section was all passages and then some questions about the passage to follow. There weren't any grammar corrections to be made or anything like that. And the passages were all about science and history, so I think that's how they integrate the science part because there wasn't an actual science test. Just math and reading.
Susan - I got pretty much the same scores as you on the practice tests so I didn't worry too much about the math. And I did ok on the actual math part of the test so you should do fine.
I got to the school about a half hour early so I sat in my car and skimmed through my book before going in. The night before I highlighted all the sections that I felt least comfortable with and I reviewed them quickly in the parking lot before the test which really helped out alot! So there's a little trick for you!

I feel so much better! Thank you and of course my last question!!! Is it on paper or on a computer? I am hoping it is on paper!!! Thank you again!!! 5 days...... eeks!

Good luck girls with the test.... I used to live in lowell and I had friends who went to the lpn program there. I here it is a fast paced program, but it is very good too. I am new to this website and just trying to make friends as well. I am a nurse to be as well. I applied to middlesex community college in lowell for the 2 year rn program

Thanks Erindel! Welcome to Allnurses! This website is amazing and provides a lot of support!! Good luck to you in your schooling!!!!!

thanks jmarie24 for ur response.....

the NET is on paper. They have an answer sheet and a test booklet; it's very much like a high school test if you remember taking tests in high school then that's really what it's like. And they provide all materials for you. ie, two pencils and some scrap paper.
Expect to be there until about noon or so. I was done earlier than that and so were a few others.
good luck!!!!

my test starts at 4pm of course ill be there at like 315 or sometihng just to be sure i get there in time! so if you are done you still have to sit there or can u leave? no biggie jus curious! but YAY! its on paper I am sooooo thrilled about that! Thanks again for your responses!

Hi, I am soon to be 40 and starting the LPN program at the GLVTHS in September. I will be attending the evening program. I am a bit nervous because I have heard that the program is so intense and I have been out of school for so long, but I am sure that it will all come back to me.

When you finish with they essay portion of the test you are able to leave.

Good luck and I look forward to meeting you all at the orientation (I think that is what it is called) in July!

I hope I do meet you in July coz that will mean I got accepted! Tomorrow is the test eeks! Have to pass that then the interview and then wait....the waiting might make me go crazy! LoL...

Susan perhaps I may see you tomorrow if not then good luck to you!!!
