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.

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.

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.

I bought this book to review the math needed for the NET exam; I found several errors in the answer keys that significantly lowered by overall confidence in the book. The reading and language sections were useful, but I was disappointed with the math. If you are looking to brush up on math skills, I do not recommend this book.

This test guide has way too many errors! I can't believe that it was ever published. Questions don't match answers and vice versa. The answer descriptions don't even explain the questions. Poorly written.

I am Very disappointed in this book! DO NOT BUY IT!! I haven't gone through the whole book yet but there are SEVERAL errors I have encountered already! I had to double check my answers online. For example they have in the book that -5 squared is -25. The correct answer is POSITIVE 25. This inturn made a whole equation wrong. I stopped using this book because it was misleading and did not give you the correct answers to learn from! My exam is in a coulpe days and I hope I dont Fail because of this book!! HORRIBLE!

OMG! Noone apparently proof read this book before publishing. There are mistakes on every page. Answers don't make sense and give no explanation. 2 teachers looked over many of the questionable (incorrect) answers and confirmed this book is full of mistakes. For example.. "read paragraph 2 and answer this question..." Great, except the passage it is referring a completely different paragraph. Math is a joke! The book either typos the answer or typos the question.. either way the "correct" answer doesn't work with the question! Skip this book it is an exercise in frustration and is a piece of doodoo. I would return it but I got more gratification allowing my 2 yr old rip it to shreds! And BTW, amazon made me give it atleast 1 star- truth is this book is more like a negative ten.

This was the best practice for the NET that I found.

I over studied and this book had nothing to do with the hesi entrance exam. FYI find out what kind of test your nursing school offers EX: HESI, TEAS etc.

This book is packed full of information that all nursing students need to know. It is written in a style that is easy to follow and easy to study. I recommend this book to any serious student.
