I take the NET next week and I know I will do fine on the reading part, but I haven't seen a math book in years! Does anyone know where I coud get a study guide to help me review the math? Or what type of math to review? Thanks!

Hi Val! I just took the NET yesterday and the math is very basic. There are more fractions than anything else. The test started out with simple addition and subtraction of whole numbers and decimals. Next came muliplication and division of the same. The test sort of eased you into slightly harder math as it went on. Make certain you are good with fractions, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing them. Make sure you can convert fractions to percent and visa-versa. At the end, there are some algebra problems, but they are just basic algebra. The NET study guide has word and geometry problems in it, but there were none of those on the test I took. To be quite honest with you, I was shocked at my reading comp score. I passed both with flying colors, but my reading score was lower than my math score. It's not about how well you read, it's about how fast and what you remember. Just practise reading this next week and learn to pace yourself. You don't want to run out of time. Good luck to you and if you have any more questions, I will try to help.
