I used about 2 hours and 40 minutes. I feel that it was enough time. They were all multiple choice.

There wasn't any questions about medicine dosages. I know the books had those type of math questions in them. It is mainly +, -, x, / fractions and decimals. There are a few percentage questions. You don't have to know the conversions for stuff because the few questions regarding temperature (C to K or vice versa ) they give you the formula for those. Math is last. You have to go in order. It starts out with English (sentence formation, etc) then goes to reading (ugh) then to critical thinking and then math. There are about 10 or so about reading graphs. You will have 2 hrs and 45 min. I think it ended up being like 150ish questions, if I remember correctly. Good Luck!!

I ordered 2 DET books. 1 was strategies for taking DET and the other was DET practice books. I believe they helped some with letting you know what to study especially for math. English part helped some to know what they consider proper English... lol. I think the hardest part is reading those boring passages and answering the questions based upon how you think they want you to.

Hello RNTaylor1 - I applied for SWIC 2017. DET exam was a bit of a bear. Math is not hard but the English is difficult. The reading comp part really sucks because the passages are BORING and hard to focus on. Good luck!!
