Big billy, there is a site I am going to give you.If you are in any way marginal with english inferences, main points, main idea, punctuation and such this is GREAT with lots and lots of questions to go over and over . ALso..theres a NET paperback..not expensive..covers basic english and good math review..just up to basic algebra.If you have had no science..the NET seems to now have more science and a&p Chem stuff on it. Any of the quick test prep review questions are very good for net typs science stuff. But the english and the Math are paemount..make sure you feel good about them.

web site is

www.townsendpress.net The english rellay can be bad if you dont practice your speed and retention, and be able to understand the topics listed in this web site.But also..dont just focus on one thing.STUDY WELL ROUNDED..every day...be repetitious. The NET consists of 30 math in 30 min

one minute to show your reading rate..and comprehention of the passage afterwars.

Reading comprehension 33 questions in 30 min..and it IS times and WILL shut you off if you pass the time.so practice relaxation with your speed.

Written expression 30 min

Basic science 15 minutes..about 15 questions

then several sections on learning style test taking skills and handling and recognizing stress in your life.

these are generally not graded sections

But my best advise..as I am dyslexic and passed with a wonderful score....is dont let yourself lax off and study every day...its not as easy as it first seems...but NOT at asALL too difficult to do.

Best wishes and if you dont mind..my prayers are with you

oops..english and math are paramount...( typos) afterwards..not wars...

Praise God..and my first new car.( i am almost 50.....my old bannana boat was totaled)with NO payments.. for HALF the price..!!...all things are possible..pray for guidance and direction....work hard ..make good choices..and then thank God for his answers.....thats my motto..

Congrads ! In getting in I'm just hoping to pass the net I got a 98 in math but the english only a 61. I appreciate your advice about the web site. Is there any thing else that you did to prepare ? Also did you take it on a combuter or a on paper ? I seem to not do well with those scan trons. When I was marking the dots in my address I must of marked the wrong row. Because I spelled my address wrong !!! And in the past when I had tests that had them I got things wrong when I knew I did them right. Those scan trons drive me buggy eyed !!!

Congrads again ! As for me :banghead:

The exam is taken on a computer screen with scratch paper to use to figure out stuff.No scantrons.READ ALLLLLL the directions carefully and pay attention to your work.Go at a steady quick rate.But do NOT panick There IS enough time for them all.And even if you get shut off..sometimes the ones you got were enough.

By the way..I heard in my school they only require 51 % in math, and 61 in english.SO if you got a 61 ( on the NET ) you might be fine.I sure hope so.

The hessi Is like the Board exam.Same kind of questions.Med math.( covers math requires ments) ALL relates to nursing.But you ahve to know your stuff.

hope this helps

YOU CAN DO IT!

Like I said..I studied MUCH more than I came in here or anything else.I started early and ended late.I did it til I felt I had as much of the INFO as I could get..and was getting 90-100 on most of the practice exams..most of the time.ALso..Bookmans has a viual pictoral Qick review for Anatomy and Physiology.Great adjunct to ANY nursing test or class..a quick brush up will help ..and if you suck at it..then it will walk you through the basics.use notecards.And quiz yourself.Or have sig.other do it for you...is well worth the time.

Thanks for getting back to me ! Enjoy your new car ! I love the smell of new cars ! We use the scantrons I wish we did'nt. But oh well there is nothing I can do about it. Any who I wish my school took the 61 and 98 scores you have to get a 65 or more. I heard it's better to get a 70 or above. I started working on the web site you gave any other things you can suggest ? I'm a avid reader but I notice that some times I don't read the questions thoroughly. And one word can change the whole question ! I have been doing well in pratice tests. Another thing like I said before is those scantrons ! I was thinking of bringing a small clear ruler with me so I don't lose my place. And also in the reading sec I always start with the passages I think are easier first and bounce around. I heard this is bad to do because you can lose your place in the scantrons. I did'nt jump around in the math. Well thanks again. :wink2:
