Just Took The Net

i just took it today again for fun, and score 93 instead of the previous 92

all i used to study was

1- www.testprepreview.com (left side on column choose nurse entrance test)

2- another full copy of a diferent prep test is here at http://www.midland.edu/~hsd/pdf/8-NET_Test.pdf

i took mine today and did pretty well, i have already been accepted, the only reason i took the test today is because i had already paid for that at my "back up" school

so

great luck pay attention, concentrate, be precise in the math portioin, it is not hard, but dont wornder coz every 30 seconds you wonder... your time will be less!!!

just go for it if you cant find the answer you just jump to the next question, once you hit the last question there is a beutton thhat says "show me only the unanswered questions"

so then you can finish them up!!!

on the english part, you mmust read briefly and then look at the question, so you can be precise with the answer!!!

it works!!!!

listen to me: the net is not hard.... even though if you like to read, that does not mean that you will do great on the english part since they are testing you not about wheather or not you can read, but they are testing how do you read and how able are you to read a science based text and

understand it....

try reading some health related, or science related articles starting about 2 weeks prior so you can get used with the wording, the meaning, vocabulary....

at my test today, we had about 20 of the 30 question about hibernation and the lest questions were about sleepwalking...

at the math i find it easy to do percentage, the only thing that i really had to force my self how not to forget how to divid .2/.036 and divisions like that... the rest i taught my self..!

()

the harder questions will be like 2/5 of (?) is 25% of 124

or 6-1/2 of (?) is 40 % of 320

those did take me more then 1 minute took me like about 2 to 3 minutes,

but there are some stupid ones like add, subtract...

pay attention so you dont miss stupid questions like - ratiio 10:4 ??? you tough 40%? noooo it is 250% !!!!

now 4:10 that would be 40%

dont forget the U.DHT

Unit.Decimal Hundreths Thousands

you can hit easy ones like round 4.327 to the next hundreth and then you do... 4.33!!!!

they will give you like 7.4564 and aske which nuber is the decimal... (4)

so dont be stupid pay attention on the basic stuff...

the algebra is the easiest part of the test, don't waste toooo muvh time on it, you will get

things like 2ax-5ax+ax ???

and things to symplyfy, and to find x... no functions or things like that... not even quadratics!!!

so if you have anyquestions about the net here i am no go for it yall!! :yeah:

Carlos,

So it seems you have taken the NET!? What state? Does it differ from state to state?

I am trying to find a practice book/flashcards to study. Did yu find a specific one that you liked?

I haven't heard much about the test... pretty generic feedback. I am set to take the test in several weeks and would love to be prepared!

Thanks for the help!

I tried the practice test that was posted earlier for $15 bucks. I did great on the math, the other part... not so great. Thanks to my kids, I didn't get 4 questions on the math and I had 4 to go. I won't have that problem when I take the test because luckily my 4 will be at home. LOL

The reading part, I see what I did now on part of it. The other part... the grammar and all that. I am glad I took it a week early, so I know what to look at. My composite score from the practice was an 86. Not bad, but not as good as I wanted.

All the suggestions have been great. I really appreciate everyones feedback.
