In order to be admitted for test, you must present governmental identification, such as a driver's license. The test lasts approximately 2 ½ hours. There are two short breaks built into the test. Except for the breaks, the whole test must be completed once started; you cannot take a part and then pick up where you left off at a later date.

A copy of your results will be given to you at the end of testing. Students may retake the test after thirty days. Students are limited to taking the test 3 times in a 12 month period. NET scores taken outside of Valencia will not be accepted by the Health Sciences Programs.

You must score at least 65% or higher on the overall composite score AND a 65% or higher on the reading composite score to be eligible to apply to the nursing program.

You will get a copy of your results at the end of your test.
