Re: TEAS or NET Study Guide Info
I think this post will help a lot of crammers like me.
For one thing, the Kaplan nursing entrance exam study book will be returned. I probably got about less than 10% help from the book and it didn't really apply to the Teas test.
I paid for the online test $32 bucks and just used the question styles and studied it off from there. I didn't buy the book because it will not get to my door on time, so i can't say if it helped or not.
I feel the practice online test was a big help! I was able to see the way they structured the actual exam.
I can go on and on about what was on the test but I am too tired to write that on here but will go over the basics and give you some stuff I feel you should know.
1. Know your conversion units (MATH) 1 kg=2.22lbs, 1000mg=g such things like that and plug that in. I studied this from the practice test and it was on the test.
2. True, I read the science part was difficult. I pretty much threw out my 1.5 yrs of my science preqs out the window on this section. I was pretty upset because I have a great preq science gpa but what was on the teas test was not I learned or that they made it more complicated by wording it different. I felt the science part had more physics, physical science, zoology stuff....(know the tectonic plates, different kinds of rock formations, gravity, velocity, force, wavelengths, sound, chem bonds*, yeah I know huh?) The only Anatomy question was a mouth is to ** a word i don't know*** as to A, B , C or D! I felt this was my weakest area on the test even though I do really well in science courses.
3. Reading was easy. Don't really need to study on this part but just know that you understand the paragraph and follow instructions.
4. Math- I am pretty much good at math, so this section was fun. I was running out of time. Know what is a mode, median, know your algebra, adding/sub/mult/div fractions, . Easiest part was balancing check books, basic arithmetic, and reading graphs. Know ratios, percentages....just review the basics up to algebra. There was one geometry question.
5. English- I have to admit. I suck at this part. It wasn't that hard but I felt I needed to review more. You basically need to know the meaning of the word within the sentence, punctuation, grammar, sentence structures....
This is all i can think for now. I'm tired.
I would like to check out the API teas book..I wonder if they have reviews on there. The practiced test helped me but I didn't have enough time to go over my mistakes on there. So pace yourself. Study off the online practice test and review what you need to review.
