What TEAS score does your school require?

At my school it's 80. Better study my butt off, that's for sure.

I used the ATI TEAS study guide and the Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exams:

I can't remember which I liked better for Math, but really I found the whole section to not be too difficult. If you are someone who hates working with fractions or decimal points, then you would definately want to brush up on that. What I found most difficult was the time alloted for that section. I was able to complete all of the questions before time ran out, but many of them were not doubled check.

When I wanted to refresh my math skills for my schools regular placement exam (just to apply to the college) I bought a SAT/ACT math review book. It was the only thing I knew I needed to study and it was AMAZING. It covered everything I needed to know. As I've started going over my Kaplan study guide for nurses entrance exams, I realized that the things I learned from that book apply to the TEAS.

The SAT/ACT book was by McGraw Hill, but the exact title is escaping me. Oh, and the Kaplan nurse entrance exam book is not that great for science, for anyone who wants to know. I learned more online so far from geography4kids.com and their other pages, biology4kids.com, etc. But the practice tests are useful. They have one test in the beginning of the book to let you evaluate what you need to study most.

Hope this helps!

The school i'm applying to started using the TEAS for this coming class...so basically i'm the guinea pig group. I got a 79.4% which put me in the 88th percentile. I'll know around July 1 whether i'm in or not.

It was better than ATI's science section, thats for sure! lol!

I haven't received my ATI study guide yet. Kaplan is thorough but maybe a little over done. For someone who hasn't taken a science since '01, it's a lot to take in. But I'm sure it will still help me prepare once I get back into it, hopefully lol!

I am taking the Teas test July 9th and I am totally frazzled.......I bought the study guide for $40 and the math and reading sections are fairly easy, but the Science part terrifies me ugh! I have never had Chemistry or Phyisics of any kind and dont know what I am doing. To everyone who has taken the Teas can you please give me some idea of what to expect for the science portion? Thanks so much!

The science portion is crazy. It has geology, chemistry, micro, and god knows what else. I think nearly everyone fails the science portion the first time around. It's practically sheer luck.

At the school I was accepted to the minimum composite score is a 75...(I scored a 76.8)

At another school at least a 40 on each section.

Both only allow two attempts and you have to wait at least 8 weeks before the second attempt

At UCF (University of Central Florida), this next application period for the BSN (both accelerated and basic I suppose) is the first time they are requiring TEAS. Their website states "Pass the standardized Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS®) with a composite score of 74% or above" with no further specifics besides the website links. Will have to find out whether that's a composite of the entire test or just the reading and math parts. Since no other graduates or current students have taken the TEAS for this school, we don't have an average to go by ... I guess this next applicant pool will set the standard, but I don't know if that is a good thing (!!!!)
