Applying for lpn program

[tnm8]

hello i am sitting here looking at my packet i have to fill out for the program and noticed that i have to take the teas? instead of the net. has anyone taken this test? if so, how difficult was it and what should i study? i know i need to brush up on some basic math skills because math isn't my strong point but i just would like some insight into what the test is like and how difficult it may be. thanks to anyone who can help me with this! :wink2:
