Difficulty of Science Portion

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hey all! I was just wondering to those of you who have taken the TEAS V recently, how hard was the science portion? If you bought the practice tests, did you feel like what was on there showed a fair description of the materials that would be on the test? I'm taking it in June and would have completely A&P II and Chem by then and I also took Microbio in the fall semester, so everything would be pretty fresh in my mind. I also bought the books as a study guide but I'm still nervous. I've heard mixed reviews of the science portion being easy to being super hard. Any information will help. I understand you guys can't share exactly what was on the test, I'm just wondering about the difficulty of it is all :) Thanks!

I just took mine this past Wednesday and my science portion was almost all micro. It was terrible!

:( I never understood that about the TEAS. At the beginning of the ATI manual, it tells you how many questions there will be over each science topic. Yet I've heard people say how they got more chemistry on theirs, or more physics (even though many people say not to worry about physics because they never got any physics questions.) That's what worries me the most, because now idk which one to believe :s

I know! I'm taking the TEAS in 9 days and I've taken Chem, Micro and Anatomy all pretty recently, so not super worried, but if I get a ton of physics questions I'll be in trouble.

I took the TEAS V in January without really studying really hard and got a 73.3, then I studied and took it in mid April got a 72.7:((( Then I ordered teassecrets off the internet. It's broken down and easier to study then the Teas book from ATI. I just took the Teas for the third and final time and got an 80.7!!!!!! Hopefully with my 4.0 gpa I will get into the nursing program :))))

Best of luck to you and I hope you get into the program you want :) One problem I've been having and it's one of the main reason I keep stressing is because I've recently taken anatomy and chemistry and so those subjects are still fresh in my mind, and that's why I haven't been focusing too much time on studying for those so I didn't feel like I've been studying as much as other people keep saying that have and I feel like I should, but when I sit down to study, I know it =\ but I'm worried I should have spent more time anyway >_

I've just taken a math prep course for the TEAS and the teacher also teaches a science prep course. I've taken the TEAS once already and did Horrible! But the teacher told me the science portion changes to mostly A&P the 2nd time (and then every other time taken). The first time is the physics/chem portion, which was true for me...I barely had any A&P on my test.

Hey guys! I took the TEAS two weeks ago! Just wanted to let you guys know how I did. I got an 86.7% overall

Reading-88%

Math-90%

Science-81%

Grammar- 90%

Thanks to all your advice guys! Really appreciate it! :)

The Teas V exam is very hard I scored a 58 overall and it was enough to get into the LPN Program at my school!

I did really good on the science part. I made an 87.5 which is a 99% for national and program. Know DNA, meiosis and mitosis. Potential energy verses kinetic energy. Stuff like that.
