Need TEAS help please.

[sockmonkey70]

I am in my Introduction to Nursing class (12 week summer session) and our teacher told us yesterday that we are taking the TEAS Monday..I don't have time to order a study book or anything, and I need to score well because our TEAS scores are factored in to determine who gets in to clinicals.

I am not worried about the English or Reading, but could you guys please tell me what types of Math and Science problems I am most likely to encounter? I haven't had a Math class in two years LOL. I am thinking about getting some High School level Math books to study from..So if anyone can break down to me what to expect I would GREATLY appreciate your kindness.

There are a ton of practice question. As for the science, it was all very general stuff that I haven't seen since high school. The only reason I did well is because I went to the public library and checked out the ATI study manual for a week before the test.

Do all schools use the teas in the first term? We had to take a Hesi entrance exam for placement in the program. Top scores get to go first. I thought that was true for clinicals too. Only thirty students per start date. Am I expected to take another test like that in the first term before clinicals begin? I am attending macomb community college.

I've learned from reading these message boards that schools are sooo different! I've never even heard of the Hesi exam! lol We were on a points system for our pre-reqs to get accepted into the ADN program and the top 72 students got in for each semester. They only recently started using the TEAS test as a requirement too. It added points to what you had accumulated from your pre-reqs.

It's a lot of basic knowledge, but when you've been out of high school for a while, like I was, it helps to brush up! lol My school had the study guide in the library that we could look at, but I was lucky enough to get one from a friend that had already taken it. Our clinicals are worked into the nursing classes so if you were accepted into the program, you went to clinical.
