Practice Teas Test

Hi SacState 2010,

I came upon your post at the perfect time! I'm set to take the TEAS Oct 23, 2009, got an 84 without studying on the online practice one, and have been passively (mostly procrastinating) studying. I bought the study guide but have read that the science section throws some people. Questions about rocks, really?! I don't know. I'm actually very nervous. I think that it will be way different knowing that it's timed. What sections were most representational from the study guide? I think I'm pretty good in Reading and English, but I'm worried for math (mostly because of the time limit) and science because I just don't know what they will ask. WHen did you take it? I'm taking at Rio Hondo College in Whittier, Ca. Any specific advice would be helpful! Thanks!!

Hi, dear. Here is what happened over this weekend. On Friday I typed such a long message with everything I know about the TEAS, but when I press "submit", it didn't go through. I though that something wrong went with my computer. On Saturday, I typed again a long review about the test and same happened the second time, so I just gave up. Maybe the forum doesn't allow to do it or I have no idea what had happened. So now I'll be short.
Study %. For example: you had 60$, spend 80% of it, then what had left invested for 80%. How much do you have? (answere 21.60$) If that was easy, then you are fine. I remember so much, but...
x/y+z=wr, x=?, then x=y(wr-z)
1st year you had 848 clients, 2nd 1078. What was increase in %? (answer=27%)
Make sure you know how to spell:accept, already, foreseeable, course, changeable, commit, average, manageable
You can give me your email and help you more.
The math portion from the study guide was really close to the actual test. Science - not at all.
Good luck!!!!

Hi sacstate, seems like we had the same test. I will have to retake it again. Had an 86.2% on the real thing. I thought the book helped quite a bit for the maths and eng. The science is a different story--it's all over the place. Though, the online practice was close. Got questions for the science part. How did you manage with the translation for the mRNA code, Genetic q was kind of weird, with the punnet sq & answer choices, the book didn't have anything like those types of q for practice. The experiment with 50ml in 3 different materials, how did you answer that? How about the bk on the table? The q on the wheelchair was tricky. Thought it was about friction, will you increase or decrease friction. Will you increase distance/length or increase distance? How about the wave q. Never had a physics class. Do you think energy or force is related? Got more q's. Please send me a pm. Could really use some help! Thanks

I am a little nervous about taking the teas. I am schedule to take it on Friday. I have already taken the online practice exam twice, and got the exact test both times. Is this the norm? I want to take it a third time, but I only if the exams are different. It seems as if it's only one practice exam that they re-use. The science part is my weakest so I will be paying more attention to that area.
