I took my NET exam ugh!

Published

I took my NET exam on the 29th. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought. The good news is I passed the Math portion. I was not shocked but dumbfounded by the thought of me passing the Math and failing the Reading portion. It was a shocker since I feel more confident in reading comp then math. I absolutely hate math and I passed the math portion with a high score. I'm kind of down that I can't take the test again until after June. Anyone else have problems with the reading portion of the reading comp the 1st time? So what should I do now?

I took the NET several weeks ago and the math section was very similar to the practice test (with answers) at the site below:

The reading practice is similar as well, but I found the actual test to be a little less straight-forward than the practice (i.e., on the actual test, I more often got stuck choosing between 2 answers and on the practice test I didn't have that issue very much at all).

Good luck!

:banghead:Hi, I took the NET in CT yesterday, I did excellent on the math, 90%, but like others said, I did like 61% on the reading comp and 77% on the written expression, which is my strenght... i just could not get the main idea all the time... I just could not give them what they wanted. Believe or not, in CT I passed??!! I probably need to take it again because of the low score for reading comp, but have to wait 30 days. I did MUCH better on the practice test even under the time limits...

I registered for the NET PN test on the last day and did not have time to buy the materials to study. Just went to take the test blindly. Gave it a shot after abt 30 yrs since High School.

Got 98% for Math, English pulled me down. I was within the 95% of those who sat for the test nationwide. Btw, I am ony in the U.S. for 2 years.

To me, it was like hitting the Jackpot. I am going for my interview soon.
