Please make sure to get the study guide if you don't already have it. I think the website is www.eriworld.com. It is about $30.00, but it is worth every penny. Good luck

Please tell everyone how tough the competition is. You have a 3.95 for Pete's sake! That is nowhere near 'dumb'.

As far as the NET, I agree with the above comments. Buy the NET Study Guide from EriWorld.com. It tells you everything to expect on the exam.

Don't give up. Keep applying to the same schools, and to other programs as well.

Thanks guys so much! i ordered the book. i got another rejection today. i had applied to Trinitas school of nursing affiliated with union county.for the past 2 months they gave me hope...they said NO TEST...JUST ENROLL MAY 8TH...some of these people in admissions do not know anything...they just give false information and hope. I spoke to the director of the program just to ask her when i come in for registration what all should i bring...she said what registration? she told me there is no seat for you...we've received around 850 applicants.

it's so humiliating and depressing...my sister-in-law just came from another country and she holds a bachelors in physics but decided she wants to go for associate in nursing...she has one more semesrter left. then she'll be looking for RN positions..she is on the deans list...she got some 1000 bucks because of outstanding academic status...umm by the way did i mention she doesn't speak english? yea...how the heck does she do it? it's like an unsolved mystery...we both started taking pre-req's together.(yea i helped her with all the book reports in psychology,sociology,english classes...now that i think of it...i never got any thank you's...oh and she did get A's in those classes)...i'm still not even in the program yet...and we're the same age..i'm sick of the whole family comparing me to her. here i am...a born american citizen--waiting to receive my invitation letter..oh god how long??!!...thanks for listening guys...feel a bit better.

I think it's not that you have to be a good reader, just a fast one. They don't allocate enough time for the reading section. A piece of advice, though, is to bring a watch so you can watch the time, and when there are five minutes left, go through and click on an answer for each one of the remaining questions. Then go back to the one you were on and keep working. You don't want to lose out because of not answering them all when you could at least have a chance at getting a couple right. I know it's not too likely that you will choose the right answers just by going through and clicking, but there's a 25% chance, and that's better than nothing if you don't have enough time to finish reading them all. Also, definitely go through the study guide a few times, just so you'll be familiar with the way the test will flow.

The ERIWorld book is a great resource... they go into the semantics of the questions, which are totally crucial for getting the questions right (especially if you're not good at reading comprehension tests, like me). I highly recommend acquiring a copy if you haven't already... the two practice tests in the book are very similar to the actual test... and some of the questions are exactly the same.

Also.. in the reading speed portion, you can buy yourself some time by actually reading for content instead of speed (because they don't really count your reading speed in the application). That's one full minute of extra time that you can invest into the reading comprehension portion of the test itself.

Chin up, keep trying... and good luck! =)

Please help me guys...i'm 25 years old..born and raised in NY...i'm good in math but when it comes to reading comprehension...god i just don't know what the heck is wrong with me...this year i applied to 8 schools so far in NJ...5 of them rejected me...i came so close...but missed by 1 or 2 points...i'm attempting 2 more march 24th...for the reading...how do you prepare for it? i'm just so depressed. i hold a 3.95 GPA...i just have to take my micro and i'll be done with my pre-req's. i swear people think i'm so dumb because i'm getting rejected from everywhere...please give me some tips!!!

I wish I could take the reading for you and you could take the math for me. It is math I am worried about.
