About to take the TEAS Exam????????

Published

Hello........I've been away for awhile, but glad to be back! I received my letter to take the TEAS Test (Test of Essential Academic Skills). Has anyone taken this exam? I'm wondering how much this test counts for when deciding who will be in the next nursing class? I purchased a study guide, but am curious if the test will be set up the same way. Any help would be greatly appreciated .........thank you

I have taken it two times. The first time I got an 80% but was not happy about that since in one of the programs I am applying for, the higher the score the better. I did do better the second time after using their study guide. I did find it helped some. The reading and science parts were easy, the math challenged me a bit since the only math I have taken in college is stats. The english part was ok. The second program I am applying for says that as long as you get above a certain percentile you are ok. They are using it to weed some people out since there are so many. Good luck.

Hi! I'm going to take the TEAS in the next couple of weeks. I've been using the study guide, but have found that I'm not as knowlegable about genetics as I thought I was! It's really frustrating to me since I've received A's in ANP 1, and MICRO. Anyway, I'm wondering how closely the actual test resembles the study guide in terms of types of questions asked. Is the study guide harder than the test? Any help anyone could give would be great......I'm getting really nervous!

I found that the Reading part was very similar to the study guide. The math and english parts took a little of each section. The science part was much easier to me than the study guide. It was also one of the shorter sections. Good luck, let us know how you did.:)

I wouldn't say that you need to take A & P before the taking the TEAS as I have taken this test 3 times and each time there was like 1 question on it concerning anatomy. The science is mostly general science, physics, and chemistry. The TEAS study guide is really good for the English, math and reading section but USELESS for the science portion. Nothing in the study guide for the science comes remotely close to whats on the exam... Hopre this helps!
