Pre-Nursing student wondering what semester you should take the Teas V?

[jnichox2]

So I am a pre-nursing student. I'm starting my first semester, just trying to knock out my pre-requisties. But I am wondering when is a good time to take the Teas? Also, how many times have you guys taken it if you didn't get the % you were looking for? Is there a limit to the amount of times you can take it?

I didn't do so well on the ATI online practice assessments that came with the study manual (I got scores in the mid- to high-70's when the program I was looking to get into has a min score of 71).

I studied for about 3 weeks after my last semester of pre-nursing courses and got a 88.7 on my first and only try. Be sure to check with the programs you're looking at because they're constantly changing their requirements for the TEAS. For example, you're only allowed to take it once or 3 times and that's it. Also, some CC's will offer the TEAS once a month like mine does but it only costs $35 while universities will offer it 2-3 times a day for 5-6 days a week and it costs $60.
