What is the NET?

[Jessi_w]

is the NET the same as ACT's COMPASS test? like a placement test? also has anyone actually had to be put on waiting lists for LPN programs? I'm in Georgia about to start my pre-reqs and a little worried though I've never heard any one personally say they have been on a waiting list.

Thanks

Every school that uses the test will also have a minimum acceptable score for the NET test. There are seven subjects covered on the test, and all questions are multiple choice. It lasts about three hours. The different parts of the NET are Reading Comprehension Skills, Reading Rate, and Essential Math Skills, Test Taking Skills, Skill Level Profile, Social Interactions Profile, and Learning Styles Inventory. The reading comprehension skills and math skills are the most important. Nationally, the average score on reading is 59, and for math is 69.
