Net Results

Published

So I took the NET test for the first time on monday and I found it to be ridiculously easy. My NET Composite score was 88% and my NET Percentile Rank was 98. If I chose to retake the test do they take the higher of the two scores? I felt distracted while taking the test because of the people making so much noise in the computer lab and I think I can get a better score. Should I even re-take the test and try to get a higher score or will it even matter much at all? Do colleges really care about this test score?

My college counts this score as 25% of their consideration. I tested into the 97th percentile (don't remember the % I got) and I got into the nursing program. So you got a pretty high score, and I don't think I'd bother to retake the test. Congrats!

Did you use the study guides, or just take it? What is your previous math experience?

I need to take it, and I'm trying to decide if I can just go in and take it, or if I should buy the guide.

salsaking, congrats:balloons: on your net

i am wondering if the computer version is easier to take than the written. i swear i have spoken to at least 5 people, and nobody passed the test on the first try. i am planning on taking the test again at another school. i have sinced bought a different study guide and i am really concentrating to score high this time.:wink2:

question, for the reading comprehension part, were you able to look back at the paragraph to assist with the answers?

Yes, you can. The hardest part for me was the math. Just get a good study guide and you'll be fine. It really isn't that hard. Good luck to those of you who still need to take it!

Yes you may. Questions and answers are on the same screen as the paragraph or paragraphs. Good luck.

Hi, In my school, they only look at if you pass the NET the first time. I dont think they care if you got higher 90s or 80s, just as long as you passed it the first time. They will consider you if you dont pass it the first time, but they deduct points from you each time you re-take. So i know I am studying, i dont want to take a chance, I will do my best, that's all i can do. Good Luck to all of you too:p

Congrats Salsaking, If you retook it would they accepted it. And if you retook it and got a lower score would the take the highest of the two?
