1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good review for NET test., May 13, 2005

By	Lily (Virginia) - See all my reviews

The NET test was super simple. Basic adding,subtracting,decimals,percentages,fractions, and about 5 basic algebra questions.
The reading section was also easy.First a timed minute to see how much you can read in that time, then basic passages and questions about it. Nothing tricky.
The rest was about studying styles,test taking skill, ect.
This book covers much more information than what you need to pass the exam.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not applicable to my NET test, April 5, 2005

By	J. Marques (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I didn't realize going in that there are different NET tests and this book contained tons of extra info that wasn't on my exam. I entirely overstudied for the exam. The only useful part of this book was that it did review basic math concepts (like multiplying fractions) that I hadn't done since high school. If you don't need the basic math refresher you will probably do fine on the exam without studying. FYI, I took the NET in California so it may be different in other states.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK book, occasional mistakes, November 9, 2004

By	Dnguyen (Honolulu, HI USA) - See all my reviews

It covers a lot of things, and I liked how things were explained briefly but clearly. However, I found several mistakes in the answer keys and explanations. What if they were something I did not know about before...? I might have tried to memorize the wrong explanations for the exam... But I did score high enough to enter a nursing school.
