All About the NET - Page 7

I got the results of my net test today that I took on the 8th and I passed! I am so excited, I get to start the lpn program in September. Good Luck to all of you who are still waiting on results or waiting to test. Amber

You are lucky you got it back so fast. I took mine on April 21st and I am still waiting.

I am so annoyed. It is my schools fault, though.

And congrats on passing!

Hello everyone!

I am a "newbie". I am getting ready to start back to school this fall. I have a Paralegel degree but have been a SAHM for the last 9 yrs. The tech school that I went to accepted me into the RN program. I don't have to take an NET exam since I already have a degree through them. So some of my basic classes like English, PYS 1o1, and some humanities courses are already taken care of. When I spoke to an advisor on the phone she suggested I take a placement exam for my math since it has been a very long time. I am extremly nervous. I am trying to review, but not sure if the placement would cover the same as the NET or if it is more detailed and spread out. I will have to take a Math but I hope to not score so low that I have to take several math course before I can get up to the one that is required.
As I am reviewing the Net Math (thanks for posting the reviews) I feel as if I am so behind. I am amazed at what I have forgotten and feel dumb. In fact reviewing it, then going back over it the next day, I forgot it yet again.<sigh> I hope you all don't mind if I post some of the questions on the review that I just can't seem to get.

The is on one of the reviews- 18 - 3 1/3= 14 2/3

Every time I do it I get 15 2/3

This is what I do 18 3/3 -3 1/3 = 15 2/3


Here are some more

express 3/8 as a percentage

express 6:14 as a percentage

1.5/50%

Can you tell I am having problems with percentages?

Thank you for any help or suggestions you may have in advance!:typing

Hi!

I wish I had found this thread/board a month ago!

I took my net on May 9th and passed with a composite 88. I was really nervous, so I was completely surprised!

I was able to get my results as soon as I clicked the last answer. I'm so glad I didn't have to wait. :bowingpur

I bought the Barron's Nursing Entrance Test Prep book. It was a big help, but I think I would have been fine if I had found the tips here.

I go to orientation on June 9th for the LPN evening program. I am planning to continue on after LPN school, if I make it that far.

Good luck to you all!

Thanks for your help! I now understand the first two the third, I am sure I will get the more I practice ratios!

I am sure I will have more questions! Thanks for helping!

I didn't find the barron's book helpful at all. It had so much extra stuff in there that I didn't need to be focusing on. If you get a study guide get the one from the test maker... it was dead on with what you needed to focus on.

Although it didn't have any grammar pre-tests. I found going to ESL sites really helped me brush up on that. It was geared toward adults where some of the other sites I saw were for children... LOL

I have to agree with you on the Barron's. I think the only reason it did help me was because I took it with me when I signed up for the Net and had someone show me exactly what I needed to concentrate on.

I'm sure going over the whole book didn't hurt, but it really didn't help as far as the Net.

I just didn't want to pay the 33.00 for the Net prep book the school had to offer.

Hello! Is the NET set up the same as the TEAS? I am taking the teas on May 30th and am really really scared! I am really bad at math, any tips?
