Study guides and stuff for the TEAS? When we had to take the TEAS 2 years ago it was just kind of told to us.."hey you have to take a test in a couple of days, blah blah". It was basically 8th grade level reading, math, and science. I had no clue there were study guides and books for it now?

I will be taking TEAS V in a few weeks also. I have been studying the Kaplan study guide, the McGraw Hill study guide, and the ATI!!

I'm starting to freak out just a little~ between all 3 the info is all over the place! I took a couple of the practice tests and did not do as well as I would have liked :confused:

I am wondering if I should just stick with the ATI? maybe it will prepare me better for the actual test.

I really dislike the way that book is set up tho....

I recently took the TEAS V and found it to be the same format as the Teas study guide. Everyone had a different test . I can only tell you that the difficult part for me was the science. I had maybe 5 questions that pertained to anatomy. The rest were chemistry, plants and biology. Study the neutrons and protons(how many each field holds), valence, etc. The math I did ok on. The reading was basically pick the most right answer. The language was knowing parts of speech, when/where to place a colon/semicolon, etc. Time was really the prroblem for me. Seems like they would have given you more time on the language portion. I can't remember what I scored but I got into the program and will begin on the 18th. Hope this helps!!!!This is just my :twocents: ...Good luck!!! :yeah:

Hey, I'm also studying for the TEAS V test, but I don't take my until December. I am little scared but I'm not going to let that stop me. I'm not that great in Math so I'm going to keep practicing until I get it. Wish me luck....

I'm studying now for TEAS V right now. I'm worried about the science but am trying to studying all the sections as much as I can. I have the TEAS V study guide from ATI. I've noticed that the study guide doesn't have any geometry in the math sections. Does if the new test has any on it? I took version 3 before and I believe there was some in there.

I don't remember any Geometry being on my test. I had things like decimals, fractions, addition/subtraction that sort of thing. I know you should study the proportions part of it and setting up word problems.. The test is not THAT bad but it was a doozy for me. I mean it will probably be a little easier for someone straight out of high school. But I have been out of school for almost 20 years. The only way I have been able to keep up is because I have smaller kids so I have to know in order to help them. But I think everyone will do just fine;)

Hey! I am also getting ready to take the TEAS V test. I take it this week! Any insight on what I should brush up on this last week (in the science portion) would be greatly apprciated!!!!

Thanks FutreRN, guess I won't bother with studying any geometry then.

km0624 · Aug 16, 2010

tleelove : from all of the people i have spoken with regarding this test, there is no geometry. it is primarily algebra, metric conversions, percentages, decimals, fractions, ratio/proportion. make sure you are comfortable with converting decimals/fractions/ and percentages. i know the nln and teas are somewhat similar in the math portion (-graphs and geometry) and i tell you that those were 50% of my questions! what fraction is equivalent to 30%?....what is 5/9 as a percent?....etc.

Thanks!
