The only other resource I found even remotely decent was this online practice test:

And this study guide was also insightful:

Thanks so much for the links AggieNurse. I figure anything at this point might be helpful. I'm wishing I would have scheduled my NET in December instead of November now, because I'm so busy studying for this CRAZY micro class that I don't know when I'm going to get a chance to study for the NET. I guess I'll either know it at this point or I won't. Can you really study for reading comprehension anyway? I have a question...does anyone else every worry that even though they say they don't really look at the math or anything besides the reading, that they still see the other scores and just maybe....it plays a role in their decision? Just a thought. I think I must just be looking for things to worry about at this point.

Yah, I was worring about that too, i mean, if they don't even take the math, then why stress about it? I mean, I will study for it and all, but just not really worry about it. It still makes me wonder though if they will look at it for some reason though.

Thanks AggieNurse for the links. I had already found the first one, but the second pdf was great.

I take my NET in December...

Just use the Study Guide for the math section. I literally took ONE of the practice tests in the math section, and I made a 97 on the NET.

Yeah, so I WISH they looked at the math. And you will, too...The math is about 1000X easier than the reading, in my opinion.

And, no, you can't really study for the reading comprehension so much. You just have to know what to look for, which is why the study guide I linked was so helpful. It, like this whole nursing school admissions process, is just a game that you have to learn to play.

Good luck! And just take it in November and be done with it. You don't need to spend hours upon hours studying for it...Or at least I don't think so.

I'm sure this question has already been asked, but about how long does it take to get your scores back on the NET? Does it seem to anyone else that we are always "waiting" for something?

Princess_WannaBe · Nov 17, 2008, 09:52 AM

When I took the NET it took about two weeks to get the results back.

AggieNurse2B · Nov 17, 2008, 12:12 PM

Didn't take long at all for me. I took it on a Saturday and got my results in the mail the following Friday--So, just under a week!

I logged into my pioneer portal and it says the application is still not up yet and took check back in December...today is December 1st!!! Aghh...does anyone know how long it will take them to put it up?

Can't say for sure, but if I had to guess, I'd say most likely when the semester is over and grades are posted for TWU. It's interesting that they took your check so early though. Hmm....
