Advice for TEAS V

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

I have been studying the ATI study guide for TEAS V and I did quite a bit better on the second practice test in that book than I did a week before on the first one. But tonight I paid for one of the online versions of the practice TEAS V and it was BY FAR AND AWAY more difficult. Wildly more difficult! The science stuff just blew me away and I just got done with all my science pre-reqs and got straight A's in them all!

I was so discouraged and demoralized. I take the real test on Friday morning and I am overwhelmed with how to approach preparing the next couple days. (I got about a 85% on the book's practice exam and only a 76% on the online one. And that is REALLY cutting it close to get into the school I'm applying to; it requires 75%.) It's official: I'M FREAKING OUT!

Any advice will be VERY welcome.

I just used the ATI study guide and did okay for myself. I used the pre-tests available and then brushed up on the subjects that I was clearly still fuzzy on. The most important thing to do is not to psych yourself out- everything on the TEAS, you will have seen before- the trick is just getting it back out!

Thanks for the advice. psyching myself out is by far my worst enemy! any timed tests - my second worst enemy. I am just trying to go thru what I have right now and hope for the best. This is the first year (I think) that my school is requiring students to take the test for a requirement into the program. I've spoken to the advisors and apparently they aren't even going to look at the science scores because they are so terrible!

lol scary! but I still would like to do my very best in every subject!

Thanks again for the advice.

I took the TEAS V today and all i could say is WOW, but here is a few of the things you should review

READING: Basically everything that is on the manual is on the test, all those concepts.

MATH: Definetly know FOIL, know fractions and inequalities, ratios, proportions formula.

SCIENCE: know how to get the atomic mass, know basically all the actions of the organelles in a cell, know the differences and similarities of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, know scientific reasoning alot of that was on the test...I felt like the book was really good at preparing me for the science section.

ENGLISH: know simple sentences, verbs, nouns etc.., i felt like everything that was in the manual was on the test for this section so defintely know it all.

GOOD luck to everybody!!! study study study!!!!
