What's a passing score? For me, it was 65%, which really is not very much. I wouldn't be freaking out about HAVING to get a PERFECT score.... wont really make a difference, either you pass or fail.
SO....
Just BREATHE!
In my entire life, I have never had any kind of text anxiety, except for when I took the TEAS. Maybe becuase passing was so terribly important to me. Just pace your self, and relax. There were a couple times I found myself getting nervous, and would have to stop myself, take a couple breaths, and get right back into it. And of course, get plenty of sleep, have a good meal before, and good luck!

The TEAS test was a piece of cake (compared to nursing school exams and the nclex). It's just an assessment of what you should already know. It's pretty much jr high to high-school level reading, math, and science. Other than reviewing basic formulas (volume, temp conversion C to F, etc), I'm not sure you can really do a lot to prepare for it. Just try to relax. Take you time. Read the questions carefully, and double-check your math work. You'll be fine. :)

Here's how to do this problem...If Sally can paint the house in 4 hours, then in 1 hour she can paint 1/4 of the house. If John can paint the house in 6 hours, then in 1 hour he can paint 1/6 of the house. Let x = number of hours it would take them together to paint the house, then working together, in 1 hour they can paint 1/x of the house. The equation is this: Multiply both sides by the LCD which is 12x: = 2.4 hours
