I've never taken the NET to get admitted into an LPN program.

However, I recently took the NET as part of the admission process for an RN program. The version of the NET that I took included sections such as essential math skills (fractions, decimals, percentages, and basic algebra), reading comprehension, and basic science.

I would estimate that the NET has a low-to-medium level of difficulty. However, I failed the math portion of the NET the first time around due to my poor arithmetic skills. I was able to pass the second time around.

The NET test I took to get into nursing school was just reading comprehension & basic algebra (with a little geometry thrown in). The school I went to offered tutoring specifically for the NET test.
