Thanks for all the info... I took the test and scored a 60% on the math portion. The tech school wants a 72% passing score but go figure, one community college only wants a 41% and the other wants a 59%. If I want to wait for an opening at the commuity colleges I'm good to go or I can study more and try again in two weeks at the tech school. If I pass at the tech school, I'm guaranteed an opening in January otherwise at the CC I'll have to wait until August. Decisions, decisions.

What do current LPN's think of regular agency personnel; Kelly Services, Arbor Med etc. I see that they pay $23-$25 (no benefits) vs. hospital, LTC $14-20. I've heard that agency people are not very well liked by the permanent staff. (maybe because the agency employee is getting paid more money but they're both doing the same work?) I think I would like agency flexibility but I certainly wouldn't want the added stress of not being liked by my co-workers. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the info ladies. I guess I wasn't clear in my post that I know how to do the math, I'd forgotten the "rules", (invert to divide) that's the reason that I've been studying. What I was concerned about is if there is algebra. Also on some test, if you leave an answer blank, they don't count it against you and on other tests, they say you should go ahead and guess as a blank answer will be counted wrong.. Anyway, wish me luck and again thanks for the input.

Will be taking the NET next week. Reviewing the math, I've been out of school for almost 30 years. I know how to do the math, just can't remember the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions, finding percentages etc. hence the studying. What do I need to concentrate on in order to pass. How much algebra is there? Do they count questions not answered as wrong? Thanks for your help!
