TEAS V

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hello everyone,

The TEAS sticky is great for general TEAS questions, but I wanted to start a more specific TEAS thread for TEAS V.

For anyone who has taken both 4.0 and V, was there a big difference? If so what are the differences?

Is it okay to use the 4.0 study guide for V?

Did you take the online practice exams for both? Is it worth it to take the V practice exam if you have already taken 4.0 at least once.

If you took the V practice exams, how was it? Would you recommend it?

Please list anything else that is helpful.

OK so as a pretest to determine what I need to study, I have completed the 4 sections of the 1st practice test in the TEAS V study manual (leaving part 2 and one of the online tests as simulated ones for later). I was not surprised at the questions I got wrong, as they reflect material (particularly in science) that I have not seen in a while - so now I know what to study. I was however surprised that I got 27 out of 30 correct in the math section (90%) and I found most of the problems quite simple. One question on perimeter I got wrong as a stupid misreading error on my part. The other two were genuine topics I need to review.

Is the math section REALLY this simple and straightforward?? I am afraid that there may be other topics that I should know.

From what I remember, the math is pretty straightforward. The problems cover numbers and operations, algebraic applications, data interpretation and measurement. There's no need to memorize conversions as those are given to you when needed.

I think the online practice assessments offered by ATI prepared you the best in terms of format and types of questions that will be on the test (especially with the wording of the questions). I thought that the practice exams in the manual were okay, but that the reading questions in the manual were much more difficult than on the online practice test or even on the actual test.

When doing the practice tests, I found my biggest mistake was in misreading the questions. So I would suggest reading carefully and take your time!

Is it safe to say that there is no geometry on the TEAS? I did not see it covered in the study guide, yet I am using another book for review as well that has questions on circumference.

I don't believe there is any geometry. I don't remember there being any.

I had the same question. I also have another study guide that has a lot of geometry in it. I just ordered the TEAS V study guide from Amazon for $22. I am taking the test at the end of this month. The math part without a calculator scares me. I can do math, I'm just not very fast!

Clearly, there is no geometry. I have been studying for the TEAS using the study guide sections in there as a roadmap and then using Barrons from the library as an additional resource. The Barrons book does cover geometry but that is because it is a comprehensive review guide for not only the TEAS but for some other entrance exams such as NLN-PAX and the NET which may cover that part of math. Hope I don't get screwed over though and have geometry show up by surprise! :D

I did purchase one of the practice tests on the ATI website and took the whole thing yesterday morning. It was a good way for me to experience a TEAS-like test and at the end they give you a nice handy report that scores your sections like the real test and pinpoints what areas you need to focus your studies. My test is less than 3 weeks away, I don't need to waste time studying topics that I do well in. Clearly though, science will be my crutch :( ... it was my lowest score at 60%. Math and reading scores were both in the high 80's and I would like to try to push those into the 90's. I got high 70's in Eng lang/usage but most of what I got wrong in that section were due to STUPID mistakes! :mad: I need to be more careful when I read and that section will be OK.

That's odd. My scores will be made available right after I finish the test. Why do y'all have to wait for your scores??

:confused:

It took me 2 days to get my test results. Not sure why, but on ATI's website, it says that test results are available 48 hours after completion of test. How are you getting your scores right away?

That's right. Log on, click on "My Results" and under the "Proctored Assessments" tab, there should be a link to your test results. If you haven't seen anything after two weeks, I would call ATI to see what's going on.

My TEAS is in 2 weeks, but the school where I am taking the test is stating that a score report will be available for us to print at the end of the test.
