   snappycindy replied to oliveiral1's topic in TEAS

   Hi...I also take the TEAS V in January. I have been doing a lot of reading here and talking to others who have recently taken the exam. I believe most schools will not allow you to use a calc. Also, I have gotten the impression that version V is diff...
