How is the NET typically scored?

The NET is typically scored as a cumulative score based on the number of correct answers across the various sections of the exam. This scoring method is designed to assess a candidate's overall knowledge and understanding in different areas essential for nursing. Each correct answer contributes to the total score, reflecting the individual's proficiency in the subjects tested, which may include math, reading comprehension, and science concepts relevant to nursing.

This scoring approach allows for a comprehensive evaluation of a candidate's abilities, as it accounts for performance across multiple content areas rather than focusing on a single section or aspect of the test. Additionally, it promotes a more equitable assessment by ensuring that all sections are considered in determining the final score, rather than just the best performance in one area or through subjective methods like peer review.
