Any good study guides for the teas?

Streamline2010 · Dec 26, 2010

Search for TEAS here. I posted some info, and links earlier. The math was straight out of the G.E.D. math review books. I presume that English would also be GED-level. I only had problems with the math because it was simple arithmetic and there was no calculator, and I hadn't done that stuff in decades, hehe.

There's a link posted on here for a free download of the McGraw Hill nursing pre-entrance exam study guide, which will be overkill for LPN tests, but it never hurts to be prepared.

TEAS® Exam Practice Questions - Help your Test of Essential Academic Skills™ Score with free unofficial Preparation Materials for the TEAS® Test has some free sample questions but I don't think the study guide that they want you to purchase is worth it.

Just search here, and spend time reading, then you'll have a better idea.

i will be taking the test next week :chair:and broke down and ordered the teas manual and online practice tests. i will get the manual maybee tomarrow and study it and take the practice test. i can help you more when i get the manual and actually take the assessment if you want. just email me here in a few days or day and a half.

from what looked up here on allnurses.com the teas v exam includes:

ø “rules about how electrons sort themselves out in shells of an atom and how many valance electrons etc so i could figure out what would bond....) there was a little physics, a bit on mitosis/meiosis, linean classification, cell structures and differences between bacteria/plants/animal (ie eukaryotes, prokaryotes.)”

ø “math is a little algebra, a lot of long division, addition, subtraction, multiplication of large numbers... tedious. “

ø “the science has no geology like the old version, some genetics (punnitt squares), a lot of chemistry such as periodic table type questions. simple balancing of equations, a lot of stuff where they give you the table and ask you what this number or symbol means and a lot about types of bonds (ionic, covalent,etc). the math was a little pressured b/c you only have 30 minutes to do it and it's a lot of tedious long calculations. know your order of operations in algebra... there are a lot of those. also, know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide mixed numbers 3 1/2 *6 4/5 and stuff.”

ø “focus on decimals and percents, the metric system.. like kg into lbs, cm into inches, basic chemistry like atomic number”

ø “gen micro, gen anatomy/physiology, basics of chem, and basics of physics

ø “cranial nerves and kidney filtration”.

ø “i spent so much time memorizing formulas and conversions and on the test they actually gave the conversions we needed to answer the question! there were only a few questions that required conversions in the first place”.

ø whole numbers, metric conversion, fractions, decimals, algebraic equations, percentages, data interpretation, and ratio/proportion)

ø science reasoning, general science knowledge of biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology and physical sciences

Good luck!! I took it a few weeks ago and was not happy with my results. I passed but I was really surprised at my score because I was hoping for better.
