In the 90's for English/reading parts and math 88%. For me, math is hard, but the test isn't that bad. Overall I got a 92%.

Besafe, did the 1200 applicants include both traditional and CD2?

There should be a practice book for sale in the bookstore. Don't know what it is called. There isn't much but you can try this site to get an idea: http://www.nursing-exams.ca/practice/readingcomp.html Also, you could try the learning lab. Hope this helps. When are you taking the exam?

It isn't the NET, they switched to the HESI and you need 75% or more in each part. I got on the wait list in Jan '11. My # is around 840 and they take 320 people a year. So, 3 years sounds right.

To Aarin80: The reason so much importance is placed on GPA, especially for the few science classes, is that those who get the highest grades without needing to repeat for a higher grade, tend to have better success in completing nursing school.

The test includes Reading comprehension: word meanings, conclusions, implications, understanding, Grammar, Vocab & general knowledge. You read a few paragraphs and it will ask you what is the main idea or what is implied when they say ...

I took the test in Jan. It was not a big deal. Reading comprehension, grammar, math- decimals, mixed fractions, measurements. We did not have to answer any personality questions. I am sure whatever you have studied for the NET will prepare you for Hesi as well.
