I got a 80.7%...

66.7% in Reading

86.7% in in Math

89.6% in Science

86.7% in Grammar

I had only 3 days to study. Hence, I focused all my time on science.

I did not finish the reading part because I did not manage my time well. I kept going back and re-reading the questions. Now I regret it so much because I got a low score on something I could have gotten about 90%. It would have helped raise my score so much!! I should have finished first then went back to check my answers. I did not answer 12 questions. :(

Math I did not finish either because of horrible time management. I did not know we could use a calculator... some girls who were taking the test brought calculators with them and were allowed to use it :( Again, math I could have gotten a 100% because on the HESI I got a 100%. Math I did not answer 8 questions.

I thought the science was easier than I expected. I studied from this one book called Secrets of the TEAS Test. I made note cards and constantly reviewed them.

Grammar was a bit harder than I expected.

80% is not bad at all considering the avg for version 5 is much lower due to the randomness of the science questions. From my understanding the instructions i received for the test specifically stated NO CALCULATORS are allowed, only scratch paper to do the math. and ive been practicing from the ATI book by hand to do the long division. considering that you missed 8 math questions and didnt do that great on the reading your overall score is still impressive. so dont worry

Your score is pretty good. You might be able to bring your reading score up a little bit with some studying, but I don't think you really have to. That score should be good enough to get you into school, from what I've seen.
