Took both A and B practice tests, watched some Nurse Cheung videos on conversions and common questions and finally done with what felt like a huge gorilla on my back lol
Now I’m more pissed that I missed a 90 by that tiny margin. LETS GO!!!!!
I was aiming for 82% but I’ll take it. I really didn’t think I did well on the math portion but I did! So the English score was a little more surprising
just took the exam for the first time! the reading section was honestly harder than i thought it would be 😅 but overall it wasn’t too bad!
Anyone else having problems with the teas test loading today? Have been on the phone with tech support for over an hour this second time. First lady was not helpful, second lady has been very helpful but we have done all the things and they have no answers. And the first lady said I do not get a refund.
I just took the test 2 days ago and i think im cooked, especially in Science, only 34.1%. I need total at least a 65% or above by Sept. 30 for my college application. I already used NurseHub and watched Nurse Cheung’s videos, but the actual test had so many Science questions I’d never seen before.
I have about 6 weeks to improve. What resources or tips helped yall the most? Any advice is appreciated! 🙏
I’ve noticed a few of the questions have wording that doesn’t seem accurate. Glucose doesn’t break down into glycogen. Is this a known issue with the practice questions? I’d hate to get this question on the actual TEAS, because in my mind, none of the answers were accurate.
I just took my teas. I passed everything but the reading section. But It says we have to wait 14 days before retaking it. Does anyone know if I can just take it before the 14 days instead of waiting. My application deadline for nursing is August 31st
Like the title says, I took my TEAS test today (at sort of the last moment before I have to apply for my ADN program) and got a 78. Prior to this the only "prep" I've done was take the free practice offered by ATI (got an 80 on it) and watched exactly half of one of Tyler Dewitt's practice science videos.
I'm nearly 40 and am a SAHM to 4 kids ranging from 16 months up to 14 years old so I didn't have a ton of free time to study, especially since I spent my weekends this summer completing a CNA course, because I need to be on the state's CNA registry before the program begins.
All of this is to say, some people are great test takers, some people are crappy test takers. Could I have improved my English and Science scores if I had spent more time cramming information for the past month? Maybe, but I'm happy with my score and it's probably competitive enough for the program I hope to attend.
Don't be discouraged by people posting super high scores. They might naturally be better at deductive reasoning, might have more time/energy/money to dedicate to studying, or might have cheated. (yes we all know it is possible, but the consequences aren't worth it to me) Do your personal best and if the first attempt doesn't go as well as you need it to, find something that works for you to achieve the score you need for your program.
Good luck to all of you preparing to take or re-take the TEAS test! I hope that you achieve everything you are working towards.
hey so im trying to get into this LPN program and the passing grade was a 52 or higher and i got a 68 what chances do you think i have in getting into the program
I only needed a 60 for my program and got a 78.7, which gives me 5 extra points on the program application!! I wouldn’t say it was much easier than test A or test to B. I studied 6 days (4-6 hours a day) beginning with the Free online ATI assessment as a first look at question formatting and then the ATI test A as a baseline. I used Tyler Dewitt for Chemistry, and Mometrix for practice math questions. I also watched two videos of the heart anatomy/functions and endocrine system as a refresher. I took test B the morning of to get myself in the mindset of the question format as a refresher.
Free online ATI assessment: 63%
Test A: 74%
Test B: 77%
Actual Test: 78.7%
I just took the TEAS Exam and scored a 55.3% my school I needed a 50% or higher. On ATI TEAS it says it’s a Preliminary Score I’m really hoping my score doesn’t change or drop drastically 😭 did that ever happen to anyone? I’m worried
i got to the science portion of my teas, and i thought i was supposed to be on my break. i didn’t realize that the break time doesn’t necessarily show up in a way that makes it obvious that i’m officially on break. so i clicked out of the testing screen, thinking i was just doing what i was supposed to do during my break.
i was only out of it for literally like two seconds before i clicked right back in. then i got a message saying that because i had clicked out, my assessment might not be counted, validated, or something along those lines. obviously, i immediately panicked because i didn’t intentionally leave my test or do anything suspicious.
at the same time, i really, really had to pee. i was telling the camera, ***“***i’m sorry, i need to pee. i need to pee. proctor i need to pee pleaseeee. i might have to use the scratch paper as toilet paper.” after seeing the warning about my assessment potentially not being validated, i was scared to click out or leave again because i didn’t want to make the situation worse.
so i literally ended up peeing myself while taking the science section of my teas, while i was still on camera, because i was so worried about leaving the testing environment again. i got around an 87% so I REALLY DON’T WANT TO RETAKE AGAIN. AM I FUCKED Y’ALL
Planning to take my second attempt for the TEAS in about 3 weeks. I've searched and seen that the TEAS takes about 3-4 business days to process. If my application is due on September 15th, would retaking it on September 8th (5 business days? before) be ample time, or is that cutting it too close?
I’ve been out of school for about 20 years and I’m getting ready to take my TEAs Saturday. I always had a hard time with math so I’ve been doing a lot of practice math questions. Long division has always been hard for me when dividing decimals, I struggle to know when I am supposed to stop breaking down the number for the correct answer.
I’m wondering if we are allowed to use a calculator for all of the math questions? I basically want to know if I should keep practicing this skill, or I’m completely wasting my time, and should focus more on practicing fractions, ratios etc.
Hey y’all, to those that have taken and applied to nursing school is this enough time to apply, the application deadline is Aug. 31. I wanted to wait to the last very minute to take my TEAS again to apply to my program but don’t want to risk taking it too late.
Hey everyone! I was just curious for anyone who has already taken their teas exam; Did you encounter a lot or any word problems in the math section? The word problems have been really tricky for me, and I want to be prepared for my test next week 😩
Hi guys! I retook the TEAS for the second time and I got a 57.3%… I’m aiming for 70+ and i believe it’s time and resources that i’m lacking on. I had a subscription for FutureRN and tried watching some Nurse Cheung but her videos are long. I need help in Science & Math because my scores were 47% and 40%.. I also ran out of time for Math and missed about 10 questions.
I’m going to attempt the TEAS again but this time maybe buy Mometrix and NurseHub? What do you all recommend?
So for everyone that has taken the teas and has been successful how did y’all go about forming y’all’s study schedules for the amount of time y’all had between first studying and your exam day?
I’m starting studying tomorrow and will have almost 9 weeks to prep for the teas exam before taking it for the first time in case I need to take it again. I already know that I have to take a diagnostic to see where I’m actually at, but what did y’all do with that information in order to help you form a strong and solid study schedule.
I’m looking to take the most thorough diagnostic I can to really see what it is that I’m missing, but would like to have any advice about where to go from there and how detailed I must really go to make sure I study effectively while still having a life outside of studying. My goal is to have at least 3 study sessions a week so I can still focus in on my university classes and give myself at least one day off.
If anyone has any suggestions for studying materials for each individual section I’d really appreciate it.
