Can anyone give me any advice on how the NET test went? How I should review what to expect etc?

I'm taking it @ TWU Houston this saturday!!!

What I've read from previous threads, is that first, it's not that hard of an test. It covers mainly basic math skill like converting fractions, division of numbers with decimals, equations etc... and the reading part is about understanding what you just have read, knowing the interference, theme, main statement etc... of an paragraph, and of course basic grammar for the writing part.

Good luck on your test,

Ginger

So its just math, english, and writing? I bought a study guide and there was a science part to it.

As far as I know they will only test your science reading comprehension, but I could be wrong. The best thing is to call TWU, and get further information.

PS what is the name of the book?

At TWU, you take the NET after you are accepted. If you don't get a certain score, you stretch your first two semesters out over 3 semesters instead and have to take success classes. The test is mainly reading comprehension, math (some basic algenra)and a test taking skills section (which doesn't even count).

excuse me please.....but are you ladies in Denton?

No I will start the BSN program in Houston.

Longhorn,

You got me a little confused now, does your book specifically says that there will be a science part involved, or is it just about comprehending science material?

Oh well, if there will be a science part, than I just have to suck it up and use common sense on these questions, since I don't have any time to study for it right now, because all my finals are coming up this week as well as next week.

Peace Ginger

I am a Junior II at the Dallas/Parkland campus. Of course, I took the net a year ago. Unless it has changed, there was NO SCIENCE ???'s. The only thing they looked at was math and reading comprehension.

Okay I've got a question for all of you guys that have gone to TWU or are still there. I'm a junior in high school and I was really want to go their.....but my grades aren't excatly the best. So I plan to go to CCCCD first then transfer so I was wondering.....If it was hard getting into the college? What were you SAT and ACT grades ( if its not too personal) ? and just any info...about your application process. That would be so helpful! Thank ya guys!

Hello, I am at TWU-Houston nursing school. It was hard getting in over 1200 applications and only 80 got in. you will get into the university so don't worry about that. If you take 32 hours of nursing pre courses you will get .2 added to your gpa. So u might want to think about going to TWU-Denton for your pre nursing courses. Ex. if you have a 3.4 it will make it a 3.6. I went to TWU-denton and got into their nursing program. If u go to CCCCD make straight A's so that u will have an advantage over the students with the added .2. The lowest gpa accepted this spring was 3.7.
