check out: www.purplemath.com

they have an acronym to help remember metric conversions ..... pretty clever.

King Henry Doesn't [Usually] Drink Chocolate Milk
The first letters of the words stand for the prefixes, with "Usually" in the middle standing for the "unit", being meters, grams, or liters. Many memory phrases omit the "Usually", and consequently students forget where the basic unit goes, messing up their conversions. Leave the "Usually" in there so you can keep things straight:
kilo- hecto- deka- [unit] deci- centi- milli-

Are you applying for the Sept 15th deadline for Spring 2010??? For the reading part, I just brushed up on the one from ATI book, and from testpreview.com....there are some questions where you have to draw an image on a paper...they give the instructions, and you just have to choose the right answer based on what you draw...hint:: do not confuse counterclockwise and clockwise....there are also graphs that you have to do, you just have to analyze it....Reading part is pretty easy I think, much easier than the Net. Just the review the study guide, and you'll be fine....The study guide is all you really need....Goodluck....

Question??? Are you taking patho and concepts this fall 2009??? cause I am....just wondering....I wont mind having a study buddy...

Yes i'm applying for the september 15 deadline. I've already handed in my application in person when i went to tyler to speak to an advisor and get an evaluation. Now it's just a matter of how well i do on this test! lol
But i thank You for your advice. I'll take any advice i can get especially since you've recently taken the teas test.
I'm going to TWU right now and was there for the past year..although their program is on of the best in the state, id have to take more exclusive classes which will delay me another semester. But i wont be moving to tyler till i know i've made it into their program. So for the fall im taking pathophysiology at twu and the nursing concepts online via uttyler. because twu doesn't have a nursing concepts thats equivalent to uttyler. So i'm really hoping i get into Tyler. The advisor i spoke to was really nice and i'm really hopeful i get in!

sorry if i've rambled on... lol.
But it seems like you've got a really good chance at getting into Tyler!!

Lucky for you you can stay in TWU to take pathophysiology, and do online nursing concepts. I live in Houston, and here there is no other place you can take patho besides a community college, in which UT Tyler does not accept. TWU and UT houston does offer it, but only to the accepted students. I have to take it in Tyler no matter what. Its a risk I'm willing to take. I have about 81.3 points, and for fall 2009 someone got in with 73.1 points. Oh well, Im just prayin..... Im kinda tired in applying to different schools and at the same time getting broke paying those application fees......Good luck to you, and hopefully....Spring 2010 clinicals!!

For those of you who have taken the TEAS exam how long did you study if you recieved a high score? I need at least an 83% to get into my program and I have taken it twice already and the highest score I have recieved is a 74.7% I have been studying for two weeks now for two hours or more a night, but I am still worried if I am studying enough.

My test anxiety is also a big problem of mine and I am just worried this is my last time to take it. So if you got a good score not just from being a good guesser than I can use any advise possible. Thanks

I have a lot of test anxiety as well. Especially when it comes to math. I have always been that way. I took the NET test two years ago, and my math score was just under what it needed to be. Im scheduled to take the teas test next wednesday... im fine now, but come testing day, I will be freaking out!

i found out at the last minute about a nursing class forming and only had 2 weeks to prepare for the TEAS. by the time i found a study guide and studied, i was down to one week. i basically just looked over the study guide, studied mainly the math formulas and some sciene to brush up on my skills learned in the past, but forgotton. i managed to get an 85.6 - with basically no studying. (and i've been out of school for quite some time now too)

my best advise is to NOT STRESS OUT. you need a clear mind when taking the test. prepare by studying as best you can, but don't over do it -- you could study too much and doo poorly too. there is no way to really "study" for the exam, but rather "prepare." take a practice exam to find out where your at academically and then only study the areas you did poorly on ......

another free test prep site is: www.purplemath.com

good luck to you. remember to take a deep breath before the test, clear your mind and RELAX ..... you will do just fine.
