hey, i took my teas about 2 weeks ago and came out with a combined score of 85%. 100 on the reading, 84 math, 44 science, 87 english. i was surprised i didnt score 90 and up on the math and english. english was trickier than i thought mainly the sentence structure got me. the science was tough since i used the ati study guide and they just dont cover enough physics, geology, chemistry, and some of the diagrams on the exam they provided were very ambiguous.
i am retaking the exam in 2 weeks and would like to be ready for it this time.
thanks
Don't be nervous, just make sure you review. Easier said then done. Just go over the stuff we talked about on here and there are a few other threads on here that have good information. I thought the science was hard but other people on here thought the math was hard and the science was easy. So to each there own.
elacer you are stressing way too much over the word problems. if you can do the math portion then you will do well in the math. as i mentioned before percentages and proportions seem to be the most emphasized.
as for the science you should get another study guide for that if you have one shot and one shot only cause the ati science section did not help me much. unless you already know about general science, geology, physics, and what not then another guide is highly advised.
I found a link to the McGraw-Hill's Nursing School Entrance Exams book.
Here is info about the book: http://www.amazon.com/McGraw-Hills-Nursing-School-Entrance-Exams/dp/0071599371/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1248996556&sr=8-1
Here is the .pdf download link (thanks to a fellow allnurses poster): hxtp://rapidshare.com/files/244641205/NursingSchoolentrance.pdf.html
As far as the content of the book is concerned, I found the science section to be quite extensive and easily comparable to the Kaplan version.
From what I remember from the math, there are word problems, fractions, decimals, and ratios. I think I had 1 conversion problem.(It was inches to something) And had 1 geometry problem. For the math, I think just study the ATI guide. That is what I did and I was fine. Also, we couldn't use calculators.
HelloI was wondering how I should study for the science part if all the earth science stuff isn't really in the ATI guide? Also can anyone tell me if there were a lot of adding and subtracting fractions and if there were decimals like turning them into fractions etc. thanks
I dont know what to tell you about the science, I was ready for the Chemistry and AP stuff but the earth science questions and even the Physics ones I was clueless on. As for the math I remember at least 2 adding fractions problems and at least 1 dividing fractions. And also for sure at least 2 converting fractions to decimal. And quite a few asking about percentages.

hey elacer,
to be honest, i dont remember many fraction questions if any. proportions and percentages should be your biggest concern it seems that is what i remember most out of all the math.
