Teas 6 test in 2 weeks

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hi Everyone, My name is Cassandra. I took the Teas V last year April 2016 without studying , and I failed it, thinking I can use my calculator and couldn't get into the program . I'm taking my TEAS 6 on the 30th of this month , which is in 2 weeks. And I'm so nervoussssssssss, and scared and don't know what to study for, I'm everywhereeee right now. I have the ATI study manual book and I been using that. I just dont know what to study for in the science section, and math section... any help pleaseee :(

If you haven't bought and taken the official practice tests from ATI, I would highly recommend it if you can afford it. It'll give you a true idea of where you stand in terms of the material. Definitely use the manual as a guide for science. It doesn't go truly into detail, so if it mentions something that you don't know that well, do some Googling and read up about it and you can also watch Khan Academy videos, although those go into greater detail than you are expected to know for the TEAS, but it can't hurt to know more ;) For math, just practice, practice, practice. Do as many practice questions as possible, and if you're using a calculator, practice doing only very simple math on it. Don't use a scientific calculator that makes things extra easy. Use your regular phone calculator (don't expand it), which is more like the one you'll have on the exam. Get comfortable turning a sentence into a math equation and solving, but other than that go page by page and make sure you can solve the questions. Like if you open up the page about order of operations and find yourself confused, do a bunch of practice questions. Math is all about practice. The more you do, the more comfortable you will be and the easier it'll get. You can also use YouTube to your advantage since everyone's got little tricks for different types of math problems and some might work for you better than others :) Good luck!

I had not had a math class since 10th grade, even through Culinary. I knew math would be on the TEAS so I took basic college Algebra in the fall to prepare, and I am glad I did. Really if you know basic Algebra you will be fine.

No, I failed. I was so focus on studying the Science portion. Half of what I studied wasnt on the test. This is my second attempt of failing. The TEAS is hard and alittle tricky
