STUPID TEAS!


Hey Everyone! I took my TEAS test this morning and feel TERRIBLE about it! I have trouble with math so that section was a little difficult but the science was so difficult. I feel like i completely bombed I bought the McGraw Hill book and studied a little bit from there......i couldve done more though. Does anyone know what my options are if i didnt pass or if i want to take it again for a better score? For some reason i thought my school only allowed us to take it once per year.....HELP!

Thank you!

I am not sure if it is a school to school thing, but at my school you are allowed to take the TEAS 3 times total over a period of 2 years. I took mine earlier this year with barely any studying and managed pretty well (well enough to take for an application) but I plan on studying over Christmas break to get into the 90s on it.

There is a study guide a lot of my classmates talk about that is extremely helpful for the TEAS, but I don't remember what it is. It may be Kaplan's.

Natalie, sorry to hear your experience on the teas test. I have to retake my test because I did poorly on nearly all the sections. The maths, I thought was very easy, maybe because I like maths, the only problem there for me was the time was too short to complete it, so I did not finish. The english/reading, may be too, but I cannot say for sure, I struggled in this area, because english is my 2nd langauge. The science, I completely agree with you is difficult. I studied from the ATI TEAS study guide. It did not help with science. I think the maths is similiar. English/reading, maybe the same. My school, only allow twice a yr. I hear some schools, 3 or more, and highest score is used. On the results, ATI put the last time the exam was last taken. I think the best thing is to check with your school to be sure they will accept it if you score higher next time you take the test. Good Luck!
