NET Science Section??

Okay, so I just took my first (and hopefully my last) NET on Monday. I felt pretty confident on my math and reading comp. sections. Unfortunately, I had no clue there would be a science section! There were only 15 questions, but I asked the proctor and she said we would need a 47% on the science for admissions. She said that it was high-school level science and that I should have done well. It's been 7 years since I've been in high school, and I would have liked to at least review some basic bio and anatomy beforehand. I focused all my studying on the math and reading comp. because I was expecting those sections to be the "important" ones, based on the ERI NET study guide. I guess I should've called to make sure there wouldn't be a science section. I still have two more chances just in case, but I am hoping my reading and math will make up for it. I'm just a little nervous because I don't get my results for a week and a half. Did anyone else run into this?

Thank you Mommycakers!!! Don't you think it's weird that she didn't ask me to come in for an interview though? I'm just worried they don't interview the people they don't want. If I don't get in, it will probably be because I don't have any of my science prereqs done. I guess I will find out in a week.

Yeah, I don't know what to think about that. I guess you just have to wait and see next week. Maybe she means they will look over your paperwork and see from there if they want you to come in for an interview. I would think you would have to have an interview before acceptance. I don't know. You can always try to take some of the sciences in the summer so that shouldn't be a big issue. They strongly recommended that I have all my prereq. classes done but that is probably because they know I have kids. It would be hard taking prerequisites alongside my nursing classes/clinicals with kids.

I think you should be fine. If you meet their requirements and they still have spots open you should get in. If you are applying to the same program I am going to the only prerequisite is chemistry and they supposedly let you take the other courses alongside your nursing/clinical classes.

Alright, thanks. I will try not to obsess too much until the letter comes. I am already thinking about plan B if it doesn't work out, but I hope it does, because I just got a part-time job at that hospital! Thanks for all your help, though. I will let you know what happens.
