Who's taken the teas v?

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

And what did you think? I took it last week and feel like I was prepared for the Math and Reading portions by using the study guide but I really struggled with the Science portion. For me it was a lot of Chemistry and it's been a while since I've taken that course. I met the minimum requirements in each category for my program but it's the first year they're using the TEAS V (Last year they used the NET) so I'm not really sure what a competitive score is yet. Anyway I know there are different entrance tests and versions of the TEAS everyone is taking so I was just wondering how people felt about version V.

Buy the practice exam they are well worth the money. I didn't buy them and it put me a year book to get into nursing school. I have to score a high 80 to even be considered in the programs I applied to and I eventually got a 80ish score after buying them. THey do help a lot.

I recently read a post of yours that gave advice in regards to the TEAS. I took the TEAS today, and I thanked God that I found your posting. For some strange reason I decided to look over all of the things that you suggested, and ALL of them were on my version of the TEAS. Thank you for your wise suggestions. I know you probably posted it a while ago, but I wanted to thank you! I cannot pm.

Just finished the Teas V...scored an 88. Yes, the study guide is helpful - also review your chemistry, anat, physi, micro knowledge...I haven't taken algebra since 1990 and had a little trouble trying to learn it all over again...also forgot I was on a timer and did the algebra questions very slowly, time ran out before I had a chance to answer the last 10 questions...so...be conscious of your time.

Just for fun I had previously taken version IV and it was much easier - scored a 98...completely different exams so definitely take some time to study for Teas V.

My printout showed the national average as being 64% so I would imagine anything over 80 would be considered a "good" score.

Best luck!

I took the TEAS last month, and did ok. I got between 80 and 98% in all sections, except math, because I ran out of time. This surprisingly seems to not be a problem for anyone else, haha. I was stuck on one question and all of a sudden a box popped up saying that I'd run out of time for this particular section, and missed out on two whole pages (12 questions!!!) on the math section. This brought my percentage down for that section to 58%. I think I had a 92% (first English section), 80% (science), 58% (math), and 98% (second English section). My overall was 78% (which is terrible for me) and 87th percentile. I am definitely going to retake it as soon as possible, but I didn't find it difficult. It was all pretty general stuff and you shouldn't have a problem if you've done well in college-level classes.

I took the Teas on December 1st. I did not score well. The science score brought my overall score down. I looked through this forum, and saw a lot of advices. I will try those and try much harder with preparing for my text exam date, February 2.

I'm Taking my teas v test Jan 11 and will begin studying this Friday. I just finished getting my BS In health administrator ( double majored) so My last final is this Thursday. I'm pretty nervous and anxious but do you think studying 3-4 hours daily until then will adequately prepare me? Thanks all for the advice ?

I'm going to comment without reading the entire thread on account of its looooooooong.

When I signed up to take the TEAS V I purchased the prep book and the two online practice tests. I'm really glad that I did that because after taking those, it showed me in EXACTLY which areas (in science and math for me) I should focus my studies prior to taking the TEAS V. It went specifically through every portion in which I needed to review. That helped me immensely and was worth the extra 100 bucks or so. Also, if you know all of the info in the prep book cold, you should do very well on the test.

I actually performed pretty well on it and due to this was accepted to nursing school while still finishing my final pre-requisite even though I didn't get to use those points to apply (since I wasn't finished with the course).

Now that I'm in nursing school we use ATI to prep for certain subjects, and it helps me for the same reason, it shows me my exact areas of weakness so that I can focus my studies.
