I am giving this book a 4 star, despite it is probably more like a three. This is a good book to use as an over view, and did help prepare me for the NET exam. Compared to others on the market I would buy this one again, although I do feel it is lacking in certain areas. The math section has several wrong answers, or leaves out (+/-) signs on some questions. If you've had some algebra and need a refresher, it's a good overview. The book leads you to believe there are only four sections on the test, reading, verbal ability, numeric ability, and science review. Either the tests have recently changed, or this book is in serious need of update. The sections on my actual NET exam were mathmatic ability, reading comprehension, reading rate, learning styles, stressful situations, social decisions, and test taking ability. These are the actual titles of each section. The Science review from the book is good, but it's just that, a review, and did not pertain to the actual test in any way. There is a verbal section in the book that will make you feel like a total [dumb], unless you spend your spare time reading the dictionary as pleasure. THERE IS NO VERBAL SECTION on the test I took. I wished the book would have had more about the actual test, like the amount of time you have to complete each section and the amount of time the entire test takes (3 hours). I would also like information on how the test is graded, the differences in grading policies for LVN, or RN, and the passing grades needed for each section. And at least 10 people brought calculators assuming they could be used on the test. The book never mentions whether you can use calculators, and that is something I consider important information.
