there are some threads about it, but i will post my experience with it.

i used the nln pre-entrance exam study guide by mary e. mcdonald 2nd edition. my school recommends it. it is much similar like the actual exam (different questions of course :p ).

you can more than likely check it out from your library or go to your local book store (barnes and nobles/borders, etc...) and compare them before you buy.

the exam is timed (3 one hour sections). the subjects are: science,(60 q's-covering biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science) verbal ability (60q's-covering word knowledge and reading comprehension), and math (40 q's-covering algebra, decimals, intergers, fractions, geometry, etc... note you cannot use calculator). try taking the sample tests and reviewing the math section for info.

hope this somewhat helps answer your question. this is what was on when i took it (7+ months ago), and of course may not be 100% accurate or exactly how your school does things.

good luck and keep us posted, :)
