NET anyone taken it?

Hello to everyone!! I took the Net today. I feel great about the Math, but I didn't finish the Reading. I was wondering if the test is given everywhere on the computer, I would much rather have a booklet.

I took the NET in June on the computer. Did you get to see your test results? I was able to view my results as soon as I finished. Don't worry about not finishing the reading section. I read in the study guide that the reading section was not written to be finished. I'm sure you did great!

What kind of Math was there? I still need to take it, and that's my "bad" subject.

I took the NET in June and got my results last week. I scored a 90 on the Math and 78 on the Reading for an average of 84. There is a ton of percentage, ratio, and fractions on the test. In my program, you must get a 60% to pass. The nursing program director who administered the test said they have a 50-60 percent fail rate. Also on average the LPN programs average admittance is 2.7GPA and 65% on the NET and the ASN is 3.0 GPA and 70% on the NET.

Math is so not one nof my strong points either. There are a lot of fractions, decimals, percentage, a few adding, subtracing and divisionand a few very basic algebra. The study guide that is available helped me a lot.

I'm just upset because I felt like I could have done a lot better (don't even know what my score is yet, could be two weeks before I find out. I know someone that got their's in 1 week).

I have to take the DET(Diagonistic Entrance Test) November 7 in Mobile, Al at one of the colleges there. I am anxious too. I do not know how they administer their test either but I hope it is via booklet. I also have to go and take the NLN test at another school and I am not that familiar with that entrance exam either.

I also have to take the NET at a school in Florida. I am taking all of these tests because I am hoping to get into one of these nursing schools in January 2003.

There is a study guide you can order for the NET that was extremely helpful...especially with the math portion of the test. I studied it and made a 99% and it's been years since i took math in school. The publisher is Educational Resources, Inc. and they make the NET test. i ordered it from the web...cannot remember the exact address but maybe http://www.eriworld.com or something like that.

Well, I'm glad someone else asked what the NET was and thank you for the answer. I sure didn't know. I am taking my prerequistes and hope to enter the ASN program fall of 2003, so when do you take the NET? I'm thankful that ya'll posted the info, I didn't know I about this one at all. Not the kind of surprise I'd want....lol

Thanks!
