Study Guide for Net, Hobet, and Help Entrance Tests: Nurse Entrance Test, Health Occupations Basic Entrance Test, Higher Education Learning Profile

I was annoyed buying this small study guide (2nd edition) at my college book store for $36 but it was worth it. The author of the study guide also writes the actual NET exam so all the practice tests are modeled after the real test. Although I did use other books to practice/review math concepts I think this study guide is the best thing to help you prepare for the actual entrance exam. The guide is not very big only 168 pages but it will give very good insight to how you will perform and your areas of weakness. For example the practice math exams are set up: basic math 12 questions, decimals 8 questions, fractions 8 questions,percents 8 questions,conversions 16 questions, and algebra expressions 8 questions. The real exam had the EXACT same lay out and EXACT same number/type of questions per section as the study guide practice exams! This study guide also covered reading comprehension and some basic test taking strategies.

After taking the NET I found this book helped me with the math portion but not with the reading portion. The reading portion of the actual exam was much harder than in the book. If you need to brush up on your math skills, this book is excellent for that. But make sure you prepare for the reading on your own. (Inferences, predicting outcomes, etc.) The guide book is very expensive for the size, but if it helps you it's worth the money.

Anyone who is stressing over the NET test needs to buy this book-ASAP! The book provides several practice tests for the math and reading comprehension sections. It also provides sections that thouroughly go through every type of math problem, and every type of comprehension problem. The practice tests are set up just the way the actual test is and the level of difficulty is the same as well. The only thing that you need to watch out for is the fact that the book only provides 20 practice questions for the reading comp. I just took the test and mine had 33 problems. So, just factor that in while you are doing the comp. practice tests and you will be just fine. This book helped me to walk into the NET test with confidence and to pass it with flying colors. If you buy this book, read it carefully and do the practice tests several times, you will be more than prepared for this exam. THIS IS A GREAT GUIDE!!!!
