Is it just me or the ATI online practice tests seem much harder than the actual test! I failed my first time taking the test and i am taking it again in a few days. Any tips? What did you guys think of the ATI book? I also purchased The Princeton Review for TEAS and it was pretty helpful, it went in dept in each subject, not as much as the ATI book.

I owe my score to the ATI study guide (and a smart friend who knows chemistry). I originally received a 65.4% and the 2nd time I got a 80.7%.
And yes, the online practice tests were much harder than the actual TEAS!
Any advice to give is that study for chemistry and life science! Use ALL the time up in each section. I hurried through the first test, I think I finished in 1.5 hours, the 2nd time I was down in almost 3 hours.
And relax the night before. Cramming before a test is BAD! =)
Good luck to you!!!

I swear by the TEAS study guide and tell anyone it's worth the money. I got a 74% the first time around and after using the study guide my second time around I received an 84%. I also definitely thought the online tests were harder than the real one but thought they were worth it too. I liked knowing where to focus in the study guide.

I thought at I testing was a horrible company. They are overpriced. I purchased a product that didn't work and when I asked for my money back they refused. They are strictly out for money and do not care at all for there customers. Very disappointed and will never purchase another item from them ever!
