Math: Make sure you can add/subtract/multiply/divide using no calculator fast. May seem a little funny at first, but being able to it quickly saves a lot of time. Know roman numerals - there will be a question like "What does MXIVCLL mean?" Only had three algebraic problems on my test. Know basic measurements.

Science: I had more life science questions than A&P questions, so brush up on your chem and basic A&P knowledge. I had 14 earth/physical science question so delve a little into your geology. Also 8 basic scientific reasoning questions (know scientific method and such).

Reading and English sections straight forward, but half of your reading section gives you tables and advertisements and such and wants to see how you comprehend seeing information.

Don't sweat it. Took all my pre-reqs at COM and didn't study and got over a 90. It's not difficult - just stressful because we have to pass it!

Buy the study guide for the TEAS exam. It helps a lot with understanding the wording of the questions as well as what could be on the test. Don't focus too much on "harder" things and not on basic stuff. I remember getting stuck on one of the most basic questions thinking wow.. I overlooked this while studying! As long as you get the concepts of basic math and science you will do fine.

It was helpful to take the practice exam on the ATI website. It cost around $40, but it makes you see what sort of problems will be on the test. You can take it over and over again, though it is the same questions. A few of the questions came up in the actual test as well. Good luck!!!!

Number 82 checking in. I was disheartened until I read that some in the 80s got in last year. Fingers crossed now.

I'm right there with you Avalanche. I hope we get in, and everyone has been very supportive. I hope that they are able to go that high on the list. I just keep telling myself that people apply other places and maybe they won't choose to go to College of Marin, but who knows.

Have you taken the TEAS?

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone knew the number of students College Marin accepts each year? I read the previous comments, but it seems to be somewhat of a mystery for everyone.

Thank you!
