Taking the TEAS twice within 5 days

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Has anyone else done this? I am applying to CSU Sacramento and I took my first attempt on the TEAS on Thursday. I scored a 93.3 overall adjusted (94.7 if I actually divide the number I got correct out of 150, I don't like their adjustment lol). I know this is a good score, and some schools give the max points for any score over a 90 (I wish that's how my school was). But, long story short, I needed at LEAST a 95, but preferably higher, based on my GPA and the trends of the points in previous semesters.

I was fortunate to be able to sign up to take the test again on Monday, and I didn't see anywhere on my school's website that there needs to be any amount of time elapsed between attempts. This will be the last time I can attempt it for the application cycle, because the application is due on Oct. 1. And.. I don't know how to study! I had about 6 topics to review on the second page of my score sheet, and I looked over them, but I don't know what else to do. Looking back I realized that I made a couple of silly mistakes that cost me the score I needed, but I don't know what to anticipate next time. I know the questions will be different, and especially in the science section, there is a lot of room for variability. Surprisingly to me, I actually scored lowest in English (90% when I had been scoring 100% in that section on the practice tests), and I think if I can bring that up without a drop in my other scores, I should be fine. But, I'm just nervous. I'm not really sure what my question is haha, but if anyone can share their experiences with retaking the TEAS, especially in a short time frame, that would be helpful, and if anyone happens to have tips, that would help a lot too. I used solely the ATI study manual and online practice tests to study the first time.

wow, that's awesome! Now you will definitely get in! Congratulations!
