UT Houston NET

It tests math, reading comprehension, grammar type skills and science. The math is pretty basic but you may really need to brush up on grammar skills. The science seemed pretty broad to me-not really something you can study for. They are assuming you have a science basis through your prereqs. The rest of it is about your test taking strategies and other odd stuff like that. They only factor the math, english and science in to your admissions. The rest of it is for your knowledge. It's difficulty really depends on how long you have been out of school. It is the kind of stuff that you learned, but may have forgotten. The longer it has been since you took a test like this the longer you should study. Good luck!

I would brush up on your math skills if it has been a little while for you. And definately brush up on your english/grammar skills. The science stuff was pretty broad, and with the prereqs required, you should be fine. For me, and a lot of other people I talked to, the test wasn't a big deal. I did a little math brush up, but pretty much just walked in to the take the exam without studying and I did fine.

The science part is a mixture of everything, just brush up on the basics like the other people advised.

I took & passed the test without studying, if u did well on the SAT and u still remember wat u studied, u'll be ok.

GOODLUCK
