What type of questions can be found in the reading comprehension section of the NET?

The reading comprehension section of the Nursing Entrance Test (NET) primarily includes passages followed by questions. This format assesses a candidate's ability to understand, analyze, and interpret written text, which is crucial for effective nursing practice.

In this section, test-takers read various types of passages—these may include narratives, expository texts, or descriptive sections—and then answer questions that evaluate their understanding of the material. Questions may focus on main ideas, details, inferences, vocabulary in context, and the author's intent, among other critical reading skills. The ability to comprehend and critically engage with text is vital in nursing, as it relates to interpreting medical literature, understanding patient histories, and implementing care plans based on written documentation.

Other options, such as mathematical equations and proofs, graphic interpretation and art appreciation, or short answer essays on literature, do not align with the focus of the reading comprehension section, which emphasizes reading texts and responding to relevant questions. This specificity is what distinguishes the reading comprehension segment of the NET from other types of assessments.
