Information about the NET The Nurse Entrance Test (NET) was developed by Educational Resources, Inc. (ERI) to assist schools of nursing in the guidance and placement of applicants seeking to become nurses. The NET assesses (1) basic science reading comprehension, (2) essential math skills and (3) written expression (grammar). Most questions on this entrance test deal with subjects studied in school, while other questions are concerned with application of knowledge in everyday living. To ensure that questions are not discriminatory with respect to race, ethnicity, linguistic background, or gender, persons not involved with the test development process have reviewed the questions. The NET has three important sections that generate your final NET Score: a science reading section, a math section, and a written expression section.

Science Reading Comprehension
The science reading section will evaluate reading skills you have developed in and out of school. It evaluates your science reading comprehension through various topics, followed by multiple-choice questions about what you have read.

Math Skills
The majority of math items require you to calculate decimals, fractions, conversions, and ratios. Some math items involve percentages and very basic algebra. These math test items have multiple-choice answers.

Written Expression
The written expression section assesses grammar, capitalization, spelling skills and the ability to organize your ideas in a written format. These test items are also presented in a multiple-choice format.
