how much is it from term to term? if we pass our C net exam do we get in the program or is there a wait list?

2008-2009 year we payed $1200 Sept 2008 and $1100 Jan 2009 i believe , which covers your books and everything else. When you take the CNET and pass then you take the TABE A TEST 2-3 MONTHS LATER . YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU GOT INTO THE SCHOOL BY JUNE 2009 . There is no waiting list.

Good luck!

Hi FutureRNelizabeth, I just wanted to know what was the content of the first exam for CNET nursing LPN program because I applied for the fall 2009 semester and I have not received any prep material as of yet. They told me that are comining in this week, I been studying on my own because of this. What is the passing score on th first exam and is there verbal ability Section? And what is the TABE test about? How did they tell u were accepted (phone call or letter by mail)? Thanks

hi, well right now im learning some new Vocabulary words and im using my practice book that I already had. Did u receive your test date yet?

How long ago did u mail off your application? I hope the test is just on basic math because I don t really like math. And yes, The vocabulary section is my weak point too so im trying my best to learn some new words.

Good Luck!

Hey!

CNET is 3 sections Reading, math and Language, good thing you order the book! The Study guide is going to be just like the test you are going to take, i hope you brought 2 -3 study books. When you do the study guide TIME YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!! so when you take the test that day you are ahead of everyone!!! especially with the math! TIME YOURSELF! TAKE ONLY 1 HOUR TO DO ALL THE PROBLEMS. The math is adding and subtracting 3-4 digit numbers , multiplying 3-4 digit numbers and dividing and other basic math! The key is time! SO PLEASE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE TEST AND DO VERY WELL TIME YOURSELF BEFORE YOU TAKE THE TEST. When i took the math section i was the first one to finish since i had prepared myself. Reading is just basic reading. you will read a 5 paragraph story and answer the multiple choice questions(6 questions for each story) . I believe its 3-4 stories. Language ,you need to know what the synonyms and antonyms of some words and spelling of some words also ............. So this is the CNET TEST! LIKE I SAID BEFORE PLEASE TIME YOURSELF BEFORE TAKING THE TEST AND ORDER THOSE STUDY GUIDESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. THEY HELP!!!!

You will get your results saying if you pass or fail and then they will notify you if you qualify for the other test which is the TABE A . oh yeah! and passing is 40% percentile on reading, 40% on math and 40& on language and overall 40%

For the person who brought the NET study guide, CNET and NET are two different test i believe, i think you should really order the CNET study guide................HINT HINT! THE CNET STUDY GUIDE IS THE SAME TEST YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE IN THE SPRING. SO PLEASE USE THOSE RESOURCES

Good luck to all!!!:redbeathe i need to continue with my nursing care plan! :) :idea:

No, if you pass both test( CNET, TABE A) and pay your part you are automatically in! We had about 80 people in the brooklyn school this year!!!!! They usually take in 60 for each school, some had to go to the manhattan school and some dropped out later in Nov and December. Now we currently have 66-68 people i believe. :mad:

No problem im glad i could help with all the questions, i wish i had someone to guide me last year but i had to learn and find out on my own. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask :) :redbeathe

MsAmbitious2336, I take my test today and I received my test material right after the New Year. I mailed my paperwork mid-December. I ordered the Practice Test on the same form that I registered for the exam. Looks like I'm in the first round of tests because I didn't expect it so early but I'm excited! Good Luck!
