ATI TEAS 6 Advice and Recommendations!

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hey everyone,

As we all know and fear.. the new ATI TEAS 6 came out yesterday (AUGUST 31st 2016).

If you have taken the ATI TEAS 6, please feel free to update the rest of us on how it was for you. As well as, any tips on studying and review materials that you found helpful!

Thank you.

I took the TEAS a couple weeks ago and I didn't do as well as I thought. I managed to get a 73.3% but the schools I want to apply to want a score of 75% or above, in which I'm trying to get above an 80%.

The time was surely more than enough for every section, but I am very well in math and almost ran out of time for the last 5 problems but some how I managed to get a 95% on the math section.

For the science section, I did NOT do well at all. I have only taken Anatomy but not Physio but I felt that a lot of the questions were the MAIN CONCEPTS/FUNCTIONS of organs and cells so I suggest studying that because you won't be needing to do any labeling or matching.

English and Reading I ranged around a 75% I thought I did well in those areas because I did have way more than enough time to double check my work...

Where I took it we had no breaks but you can take the test at your own speed and there is no time penalty in between each section.

I studied using crash courses on YouTube and the Mometrics AT TEAS study guide book. This book is very helpful and detailed but I will be buying the ATI TEAS study guide from the ATI website because I have heard that the practice questions in the book were very similar to the ones on the test.

FOCUS ON THE SCIENCE!!! This is the hardest portion of the test because all other sections can be comparable to the SAT, ACT, or high school exit exams.

I have a specific question regarding the TEAS math...

I have seen some people on here say that they were given the formulas for the geometry problems. I have seen some other people on here say to KNOW the formula's. Which is it? Is it both? Because if so, that doesn't seem very fair.

No formulas were given for the math sections for my test. One of my questions required knowing the area of a circle in terms of PI given the radius. The formula was not given so yeah...

Dang gal that's awesome. Good for you ! ( also how do you edit your profile on this site) ? Anyways I took test A today and made a 77. Mainly cause of English and science and I have been studying bio like crazy. ( 67 eng & 77 bio ). The other two I did surprisingly well on considering I used the calculator once and mad an 81 on it ( not cause of not using a calculator though lol ) and 86 on reading. I'm hoping the math is comparable to what I took today. I take the test jan 11 in Athens so here's to making something kinda close to you!

if you don't mind me asking what did you get on the ati teas 6 test after all?

hi, for the math section were there a lot of word problems?

OMG girl I'm so nervous. I take the test Monday in Augusta. I live in Atlanta. I'm hoping to get in to GSU or Emory. Good luck to you!

Is the study guide comes with the online tests or I need to buy it separeted?

Hello Everyone!

I made an account just to comment on this thread to give a little advice about the ATI TEAS 6. I took my test today and got an overall score of 82.7% which I am really happy with. The majority of my studying was done by taking practice tests and reviewing the questions that I got wrong. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing practice tests A and B from the website as they are extremely similar to the test. If you understand the questions from the reading and English section on the practice exam then you will be fine for the actual test. Its important to know how to determine what a topic of a passage is and making logical conclusions from the passage. plenty of examples are in the practice tests. The same goes for math, so if you are okay with adding and subtracting fractions and answering questions having to do with real life situations and percent's you will be fine too. Personally, I had to brush up on that material but ended up getting a 96% on the math section. I used the miometrix teas secrets book to help me out with the material that i wasn't sure on. To compare the practice tests in the miometrix book to the real test I would say that the miometrix questions are more difficult (but around the same in the science section). I scored a 77% and a 78% on the first two practice exams in the book. The science section was the most difficult for me, I had taken all of my prerequisites but the questions just asked so many specifics that I had to make educated guesses on. I recommend buying the book made by the company that makes the test to study the science since you don't want to over study or study the wrong material. Overall I would rate the exam as moderately difficult, take your time reading the questions carefully and if you don't know the answer try ruling out some of the options to have a better chance of getting it right. Good luck to everyone!

You can buy them together on the website. I believe the prices for all the material together is around 200$

Yes! I would say more than half were word problems. Mostly having to do with decimals,percent's and proportions.

I have purchased the ATI 6th Edition Study Guide, the practice test A and B, and TEAS VI Practice Test Kit. I am wondering if I study just off of this if I will be ok. I haven't taken A&P in over 10 years and math has been awhile as well. Those are the main sections that I am worried about. I am wondering how close the questions in the practice test A and B and TEAS VI Practice test are to the actual TEAS test? Any advise is greatly appreciated.
