Hey starglitter and others!

I assume when you mentioned that a perfect score of 105 will get you early acceptance, you were talking about NET, right? I just learned of this exam, and wondered if those of you who have taken the exam can comment on its content, difficulty, and how best to study for it?

Thanks much!

Hey Nodean,
Ya getting early admit is quite the acheivement according to my friend. She had her interview yesterday and they were told the only people to get early admit are those who have a perfect score, or a total of 105 points. Everyone else below 105 gets ranked in with all of the other interview applicants to fill the remaining seats. I wonder how many other early admits there were?
Oh btw... I didn't go to the group interview(which after hearing my friend's experience I am kind of glad) - I had a one on one interview so I wouldn't have seen you. I only saw a few people afterward because my interviwer introduced me to some current students near where you guys were having lunch. So I think I met one applicant who came out of the lunch room and knew one of the students I was talking to.
Ya I can't wait to get the news everyone seems so happy there and they said they really did get recruited right away!

Hi Kensington,

Actually the 105 is the maximum points on a SMC applicants application profile. SMC scores you in many different areas: GPA, NET score, Essay, Re-applicant, Letters of Recommendation & Interview (and probably life experiences & health care related experiences).

As far as the NET exam goes, it's pretty straight foward. There are multiple sections, but must schools only look at the Math, Reading, and Compostion (which is the averaged score from Math and Reading)scores.

The math is pretty basic, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, fractions, decimals, percents and conversions of fractions, decimals, percents and a few very simple algebra problems.

The Reading, just tests your reading rate and comprehension by reading a couple of passages and answering content related questions.

The best way to study for it is to get the NET Study Guide form ERI (www.eriworld.com). The book has review, test taking strategies and practice tests that are exactly like the real test.

Hope this helps!!

I know the last posting on this thread was back in 2006 so I don't know what kind of hope I have to get a reply... I just got an interview for the 2008 ELMSN program in Sacramento and I'm wondering if anyone can offer me words of advice for the group interview? What can I expect? How many group interviews are they having? Looking forward to hearing from you all!

A,

Congrats on your early admittance call. I feel confident that I will get accepted but wanted my phone to ring tonight. Oh well! See you soon regardless (hopefully)!

I heard that SMC tuition has gone up over $50K. How can anyone afford that level of student loan debt on a nurses pay? It's impossible:(

Better off just going to a JC for two years.
