TEAS test

Don't feel bad. This test is geared towards highschool classes. If you did well in these highschool areas then you should do well on the test. It is kinda hard to study for highschool science when you are no longer in and have been out for some time.

I am taking the TEAS on April 18 and have been told NO calculators will be allowed to be taken into the test, nor will they give you one.
Only a pencil and scrap paper! Study, study, study!! And practice WITHOUT a calculator so you will be more prepared during the actual test!

Right, no calc. Have confidence and you will do fine. If you don't need a calc then your math abilites must be pretty good.

I took it this past Tuesday. You could not use a calculator, but they did give you scrap paper and pencils. The test itself was computerized. It wasn't that bad. They said it was a 4 hour test, but I was done in 2. I did pretty well. The parts that really got me were some of the science questions...they were asking about types of rocks and tectonic plates and like earth science stuff I had no clue about. I didn't have any physics questions as some ppl had me scared about. But on the A&P part I got 100% so they were real happy about that...because that's actually the stuff you have to know, not all that stuff about clouds and whatnot, lol

I've heard that calculators are not used for the TEAS, at least here in the Bay Area, northern CA. Does anyone who has taken the TEAS have any input on whether or not the ATI practice materials are worth their purchase price?? I am hoping to take my test in the next 6 months or so.

Absolutely no. The teas test is a test of ESSENTIAL skills. You have to know how to do the basics to get in, decimals, fractions, percentages, etc. Basic grade school math. You shouldn't need a calculator. If you do, good luck in nursing school!

Absolutely not. It's not allowed. Lucky for those of you who got to use one! lol.
I had no such luck. I scored 89% in math. I'll tell ya..that's the only thing I had going for me! lol.

I'm going to have to agree. It's pretty basic college level math. If you need a calculator to do it, I would be worried. I don't think it's anything that anyone cannot do...it is just a bit more time consuming when you do it without a calculator. I would not be nervous about it. Just take your time.

did you use the ATI study guide? if so how close was it to the actual exam? should I memorize the study guide?

did you use the ATI study guide? I bought it and am wondering if I should memorize as much of it as possible??
