Teas V test taken

Did you do any review before taking the test? There's a good chance that you'll need to take this over again.

I totally in my opinion bombed the Teas V test today 11/29/14.
My AITS: 55.3%
ATI Academic Preparedness Level: Basic ( this killed me)
Mean - National - 64.3%
Mean - Program - 56.0%
Percentile Rank - National: - 27
Percentile Rank - Program: - 51
To me being an excellent student for the last 2 years then for this to occur is a
huge let down to me...
Any feedback ?? how bad are these scores?

Im sorry that this happened. But most nursing schools want you to score above the national average. I would study or take a prep class at the college, and then retake it. Did they tell what part of the test you scored the lowest??

of course, I did study for the test for about a month and a half,,, and the book I used now that i have taken the test did not really help. I should have known that a book with many typo's and mispellings should not be trusted to be used for such an important test.

Thank you for posting what you stated you sound like a compassionate person..But I did study a lot and the book i used in my opinion now was not good enough to prepare any one for such an important test. This is so unlike me because I am an A student and in the Honor Society at my school. So I do not understand how can a book not help much more. I am going to ask for my money back. Yeah, I guess I will need to retake it again. Its just so heartbreaking for me.

hope31969,

You never even told us what book? As hard as it may be to accept, you did not study properly for this test if you are indeed an 'A' student. I am not saying this to be mean but the sooner you acknowledge your own responsibility here the better... why? Because you will certainly do better next time if you first ackowledge that you probably didn't do enough. Most people on this website that scored well used multiple sources and studied diligently for up to 8 weeks.

I sincerely mean this....
