hi everyone! my brother is taking his TEAs test soon, and asked me to help him review his general stuff. its been years since i did mine, and can really remember much of what was on it. i remember just math, science, language and reading but dont remember any details of it.

i found this site online and was wondering for those of you who took it, does the science example questions sound anything like the ones on the TEAs test. for some reason, i remember it being easier (maybe cause its been sooo long ago since i studied those subjects). science is the only one he needs help on so i figured those questions would help.

and also, in the math section was it just generally addition, subtraction, fractions, ratios and mutiplication along with division? thats all of what i remembered. i dont remember if there was metric conversions or area/pi or anything like that.

if anyone could help that would be great!!

thanks!!!:lol2:

I took the TEAS in August. You are pretty much right about what is on the exam. Lots of ratios, addition, subtraction, division, lots of adding and subtracting fractions. I thought that the Science section was the strangest part of the exam. It was like middle school science. If your brother has already taken anatomy and physiology, the human body science will be super easy. Out of all the sections, my worst was the science section.

I had initially printed the questions from that website, but decided to buy the study guide from ATI. It is a little expensive, but in the end I am happy that I did it. It is the best example of what the test will be like. I just studied from that book right a week before the exam, and then a couple days before, and I was very happy with my score.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck to your brother!

i took it in august and passed with flying colors.

Those science questions look about right, and you were right about the math questions. Good Luck to your brother!!!

There were a couple of area and circumference questions in the math if I remember right. The science had only two actual anatomy questions, and a couple of heredity questions. Lots of physical type science. In the math there were also some metric conversion questions. I scored the lowest in the science, but I still passed by a large margin.

I took mine 3 days ago, so hopefully I can give you some insights. Math is basically like what you said; simple whole numbers, fraction, addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, percentage and area (circle/square). The math part on my test had a lot of % questions like you buy an object priced at $$ and you have to pay 5.6% tax. How much would you have to pay in total. I think math is not too bad (very basic concepts). You just have to be able to do it quickly that's all. As for Reading and English, questions were really simple. Tons of easy-to-read short passages. Basically, anything you need to know is in the study manual. I would highly recommend that your brother purchase one from ATI asap.

Science is the hardest part. It's only like 35 questions, so you can only miss so many before your % suffers. The study manual contains more than enough Biology, Chemistry, Human Biology and General Science for the test. If you study those chapters, you should do fine on the test. The physics part, however, is not really adaquate in my opinion. There was one o-chem-like question on my test. It asked about bonding stuff like which compound has all single bonds. The answer was CH4. Other than that, everything was pretty basic. Again, get the study manual. That's all you'd ever need for the test. Tell him not to stress out. It is a very doable test. A week of study is enough to do well.

Thankyou for all of your input! I will be taking the TEAS test this Monday! I am very nervous about this test! I was accepted this fall to a ADN Nursing program. This is the last test that you can take before entering. How much time do you have for each timed section? Should I brush up on the periodic table? Thankyou! Just a little stressed out! :bugeyes:

I don't remember exactly how much time I had for each section. However, what I did was I tried to answer every question in 1-1.5 minutes. That seems to be the general rule of thumb for taking the test. I did finish all sections before the time limits. Except for Math, I even had extra time to go back and read through the questions twice. So, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Though, make sure you can do calculations quickly. I can't stress this enough. I only had like 2 minutes left when I finished my last Math question! The girl that was taking the test with me didn't finish hers unfortunately. Also, memorize the conversion factors (ft=in, lb=kg, pint=oz, C'=F' etc.). As far as the periodic table is concerned, you just have to know the general properties like metal group vs noble gas, electronegativitiy, valence electron etc. Also, there were questions about atomic number (# of proton) vs atomic weight (# of proton + neutron). Know the difference and you'll be fine.

Good luck!!

Also, make sure that if you practice math, practice it without a calculator since you can't use one on the test. The math was the only part that I used almost all the time. I think I had one minute left when I finished it.

Thankyou so much! I am sure that they provide you with scratch paper..right?! I am very nervous about the math section. Are you usually good at math? Do you remember how long you have for each section? Test is tommorrow! :bugeyes:
