Thank you for all the support! I really was not expecting that kind of response and I feel extremley better. Im not sure how this message board works but Ill try to respond. I dropped out of school at 16 so its not technically 10 yrs. its 9 and a half. lol. And there are only a few seats. I think 20-25 total for the program im trying to get into. LPN. Because Im too late with my test scores the classes have filled up and I wont be able to get into the actual nursing classes for another year! Ill be finished with Pre Req's at the end of this semester. So I guess im going to take some EMT courses in the mean time. Thats whats on my mind anyway. I havent completley made my mind up yet. I feel much better today. I was really upset with myself yesterday. I really do appreciate all the help from everyone. I feel greatful today. Oh and to answer another question about the test. I did fall into the superior range but my predicting outcomes needs to improve by 5 pts. and my stress level...??? I thought I was fine when I took the test. I even acted like a was less stressed then normal but for some reason my money and time came back high which docked pts as well. Go figure, money and time! Thanks everybody!

I just found out I failed my second NET. I feel so dumb. I even studied this time. The first time I took it i had been out of school for ten years. That was my excuse anyway.. I had a week to study for it. The second time i studied for it, especially for the math section. My score went up dramatically and was in the superior range but I still am not accepted. And I ashamed to admit was a little rude with the lady in the office. I just felt under attack and inadequate. I'm so angry with myself right now. Now Im wondering if Im going into the right field. I'm 25 yrs and male. I have been in construction for 7 years before this, only because it was my only means for survival for my self two brothers and son. I adopted one brother and put two through high school. All while being single. So now Im finally deciding to start schooling for me and feel so frustrated. I got perfect grades through elementary school, but thats about where it stops for me. I have about a sixth grade education. I passed my GED and compass test easily. I have a 3.5 with my pre req's but in the mean time I cant get passed this test. Sorry to ramble... I guess I needed to let off some steam. Anyone have any suggestions?
