Ok guys just want to let you know that this test is not big deal trust me. I will share my experience with you. I took test few hours ago 3/29/18

Reading - It is really important to know how to summarize, know the topic sentence, logical conclusion, reading data off of chart. On my exam I had at least 4 questions about stating right sequence of something. For example it was this cake recipe and it was something like "preheat oven first, and mix ingredients that have been refrigerated before ..." and the question was what is the first thing you should do. Be able to assume meaning of the word. Sometimes you will be given sentence and the underlined or bolded word will need to be assumed, but sometimes It will just ask "what is the closest meaning of the word 'chaffer'."

You will also need to know the purpose of table of context, dictionary, glossary. I had 3 or 4 passages and they were really easy to understand and I did not need to read it more than once. I remember one being about Central Park , and people who were building it, another one was about King of England and his heir - This is the only passage that I actually paid 100% attention to because it had a lot of names. FIRST READ THE QUESTION THEN READ THE PASSAGE!!! this is advice that I saw on this forum and it was really helpful. It will give you an idea what to look for and where to pay attention. Do not second guess yourself because it is really simple.

Math - This section was the easiest for me and I scored 91% on it. 3 questions were to solve equation. (2x+5=-2+10) nothing harder than that. Few problems were about ratios I remember one of them was ( School has 49:2 ratio student to stuff if there is 2000 students how many stuff employees work in this school). I also remember question that asked me 0.5 liters is how many ml, so you will need to know conversion between metric system. All other formulas are given to you. There are question that you just need to cross multiply such as 1mile=1.6km, if John drives 20 miles how many km would that be. FRACTIONS ! ! ! Please know your fractions adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying, it is really easy trust me. After this section I asked to take a break, went to the bathroom, washed my face took few deep breaths for the science section.

--- It is really important to be relaxed, if you do not pass it this time you will pass it next time, if you are freaking out chances that you will do bad are higher...

This brings us to the next section and it is SCIENCE - A lot of people here said it either you know it or you dont and I agree with them. I understand that is really hard to cover whole A&P I and A&P II in a month or in just few weeks. I would recommend to study all 11 organ systems as much as possible. Please know independent, dependent and control variables because those questions are in this section and you can score easy points. It is the hardest section for sure, but again DO NOT STRESS OUT it is not harder than a regular A&P final exam. Btw I had an extra 35 mins for science section because there is not much to think about. Like I said you know it or you dont.

English and Language Art is really short and the questions are short. Punctuation and spelling were most of the question for me. Surprisingly I did not have any questions about dependent and independent clauses and I did not have any questions about simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

If you need help with anything just leave you skype name or something and I can at least teach you math section... Enjoy guys

Congrats! I wish I had Skype, as I seem to struggle a bit with math! Im currently using my Mometrix study manual to study. I've been going over basic concepts like how to add and subtract fractions, converting decimals to percent and vice versa.

I tend to struggle with word problems and setting up equations from said word problems. Also how to differentiate between calculating perimeter vs surface area of a shape. For example, a question like this:

" A gift box has a length of 14 inches, a height of 8 inches, and a width of 6 inches. how many square inches of wrapping paper are needed to wrap the box?"

I started working the problem to find the perimeter and after getting confused and looking at the answer explanation. I saw you needed to find the surface area.

Did you have to round any of your answers to specific value placement (tenths, hundredths etc)

What formulas should be memorized for the TEAS, since only a select few are given?

Thanks!
