I took the TEAS VI in March, and there were no short essays. All questions are multiple choice.

Hi everyone,

I just took the TEAS 6 yesterday and I got an 86%. I did not spend months and months studying. I did purchase the $201 ATI package and that helped. I don't think buying the whole package was necessary though. I found that the two online practice tests were the most helpful. They helped demonstrate what the actual test was going to be like. Everyone so far has said that the practice tests have been harder than the actual test. I agree and disagree with this statement. I believe that the science was much easier as well as the math. I scored 100% on the math. If you study all the topics that they want for you to study in both sections, you should do just fine. Reading was slightly more difficult than the practice tests. I was scoring in the 90s in the practice tests and got low 80s for both these sections on the actual test. I would say that if you buy the ATI book and the two online tests and use these as your study tools, you should do just fine. Hope that this helps!

Hello, I am fixing to take the Teas 6 Exam on July 7. I have been studying for about a month now, and on the ATI Teas practice exams it seems very hard for me to get above a 60% on those particular practice exams. I know people on this forum have said that the practice exams are harder but was just curious of your opinion.

Hello, I'm planning to buy the whole package, I just want to know if the smartprep is worth the money? How does smartprep different from purchasing the manual and the assessment tests?

I found the practice exams to be in the same ballpark as the actual exam. I bought the TEAS VI manual and practice tests A and B. The book was helpful, but my favorite tool was an app called "TEAS Mastery" that I put on my phone. I went from getting a 67% on my first practice test without studying to scoring a 79% on my actual test.

I took the ATI TEAS on June 24 and scored 94.7% which correlated to 99th percentile nationally. I studied for 2 weeks using the 2 online practice tests, as well as the ATI study manual which also had a practice test for each section. I was most afraid of the math before studying and quickly realized that for me, the language portion was the most difficult. There is a lot about the English language I take for granted. Mastering that section took a lot of practice and explanation from my sister who is an English major. The practice test questions were very very similar to the actual test for me. I took breaks between every section whether I needed to or not, just to refresh my eyes. I believe that helped. Each section is timed so I suggest when you practice also time yourself so you know how to pace yourself on the actual exam. Good luck!!

I am taking the Teas on 7/13. I have to drive two hours to take it at my school, so I am going the night before and staying in a hotel so I am well rested. I've been practicing using ATI practice test A & B and averaging total scores in the 80's. My science score (which is the hardest) is in the 70's. I am also using phone apps like Teas Pocket prep and some of the Teas Mastery. How does the practice tests compare to the real Teas 6 exam?

Reading all of your posts and experiences has been inspiring!
