ATI TEAS V Study Guide Bundle - worth it?

[SentimentalGeek]

For anyone who has used the ATI guide for the TEAS, is it worth the money? I am considering asking for it for Christmas (the one that includes the two practice tests) but wanted to see if anyone who has actually used it thinks it's worth it.

I have the McGraw Hill study guide and it seems decent but I'd like to be as prepared as possible for the test, which I'll be taking in the next couple of months along with the ATI critical thinking test.

I have a decent pre-req GPA (expect it to be around 3.7 when I finish) and I want to get a great score to really increase my chances of getting in. From next year my program will only accept 16 students!

Thanks for any insight.

Thank you this helps a lot because I have the teas 5 secret study guide the ati book and the McGraw hill 5 tests book. The ATI book really doesn't seem to be that easy to understand but the secret study guise seems very straightforward and easier I just hope it's not too easy and I will not be ready for the test. Thank you for the info !!!

I used McGraw hill because it was the cheapest on Amazon and had good reviews, it also had multiple practice tests and had explanations for each question. I got 93% over all and scored in top 1% for my program, and top 1% nationally for all areas except Grammar, I scored in the top 4% or 6% on that one.

Hello there,

I just wanted to add my 2 cents.

I bought the ATI package (when it was on sale, about a year before my TEAS though). I didn't open it or look at it until two weeks before my test. (I don't recommend that, by the way.) I did as another poster did; I took the first online test before cracking open any book or study guide.I then worked on my weakest areas, took the first in-book test about 4 days in, reevaluated and studied, and took the second in-book test about 4 days after the first. I took the second ATI online practice 2 days before the real test.

ATI Online Pratice Test A:

Individual Total Score: 68.0%

Reading: 88.1%

Math: 56.7%

Science: 50.0%

English: 80.0%

ATI Book Practice Test A:

Individual Total Score: 79.3%

Reading: 90.5%

Math: 80.0%

Science: 70.8%

English: 80.0%

I don't have Book Practice Test B scores anymore.

ATI Online Practice Test B:

Individual Total Score: 76.0%

Reading: 88.1%

Math: 66.7%

Science: 68.8%

English: 80.0%

ATI Test:

Individual Total Score: 78.7%

Reading: 88.1%

Math: 80.0%

Science: 68.8%

English: 80.0%

The online practice tests were very, very similar to the actual test, and they were harder than the in-book practice tests. They prepare you for time management, AND they give you rationales after each answer. So I recommend them, definitely.

I have purchased the ATI TEAS 6th Edition study guide, ATI Practice Test A and B, and TEAS VI Practice Test Kit, I am wondering if I study off of just these materials if that is going to be enough? I haven't taken A&P for like 10 years. So I am really only worried about the Science and Math sections. Was wondering if anyone has used the TEAS VI Practice Test Kit and how close it is to the actual TEAS Test? Also how close the ATI Practice Test A and B are to the actual TEAS test as well? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
