Question about the NET

Hi everyone. My name is Jim and I am a first time user to this site. I am currently in the application process for nursing school in Texas. I recently took the NET and am quite concerned about my scores. My wife who is a 7th grade teacher, and some of her teacher friends say that I am crazy to be worried, but I am. Can anyone give me a little insight on whether I should be worried or not. Here is a brief rundown on my test results.

Math section: National Average is 69. My score was 97.

Reading section: National Average is 59. My score was 63. I completely messed up with time management and didnt finish 5 or 6 questions.

There was another section that put everything together (math, reading, stress level, learning style, test taking ability, etc.) Excellent was from 950 to 1000. Superior was from 850-950. Average was 750-850. On this section my school's average was 778. My score was 907.

Also I am returning to school after nearly a 12 year break. The school I am applying to counts your GPA from courses that apply to the nursing program, not just the prerequisites. There are only 3 prerequisites and an additional 7 non nursing courses. In those 10 courses I have completed 7. My GPA in those 7 courses is a 3.71. I have received 6 A's (all of them in the last 2 semesters) and 1 C (received 11 years ago). My future nursing school requires a minimum of a 2.5 GPA for acceptance, but obviously exceeding the requirements is normally necessary.

Any critical analysis of my grades and test scores would be appreciated. Thanks for all your help.

I think that you are worked up about nothing. Your scores appear to be more than adequate and your work ethic appears to be intact. Just be prepared to do the work and hang in there.

hi im from texas. what school are you applying too.

on the low end 65 and above is competitive for reading. you got a 63. thats not bad at all. people usually have lower than that. thats why most schools offer a 55 as passing. math you're perfect.

dont stress.

tell me what school you're applying to and i can be of more help if i know about it.
