Nurse Entrance Test Score Question!!

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I just received my score sheet back from the NET and I am very confused about one thing. I recieved an overall score of 85. I got 100% on the mathematics portion. On the back of the sheet, however, it says "Needed Areas of Remediation" and says "Essentail Math Skills". Why would it say this when I recieve 100%??? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

An excellent question! Ask the giver of the test to be certain, and please let us know.

I don't know, but 100% sure sounds good to me. How did you study for the test, cause I will be taking it soon also.

I used the NET study guide, it can be found at eriworld.com There are practice tests inside that are extremely helpful. It gives you a great idea of exactly what the questions are like on the actual test. Just make sure you review, the test is not too bad, dont stress and good luck :)

It's funny that you should ask that because I took the test on Jan 24 and the same thing happened to me. I received a 100% in math and an overall score of 91 and it also said "needed areas of remediation: essential math skills." This was the first thing that I saw when I opened the letter, and I thought I had bombed the math portion. Very weird and maybe it was some sort of cruel joke! I studied the same book too!

sounds like a glitch.

Congrats on your great score!

Thats so weird it happened to you too lcw0829!! I was so worried, have you heard anything from your nursing school you applied to yet? Hopefully it is like others have said a glitch, I guess we will see when we hear back from out nursing schools, congrats on your good score as well

Sammyp056, I sent my scores to the nursing school I am applying to, but I didn't even tell them about the glitch. The deadline was Feb 1, and I don't find out anything until around May 21. Ugh...I hate this waiting!! Good luck to you and congrats on your awesome score! :)
