Comparing TEAS Practice Tests Vs Actual Test

Published

If you took Practice Tests A or B via ATIs website, do you think that the practice tests were easier, more difficult, or the same as the actual test? I'm curious if my scores on the Practice Tests are going to be comparable to the actual test.

Honestly, I thought they were very similar. I guess the actual test may have been harder, but that could have been nerves. They are set up exactly the same, and I will say the math was very similar to the practice exam. Good luck!

Test B was harder than A. The actual test was easier than both!

The practice tests were both more difficult than the actual test in terms of depth of science content, but the grades on those are good indicators of how well you will do on the real teas. I did a little better on B than A. My actual teas score was just a few points higher than B score. I found reading thru the teas practice manual to refresh and doing some of those free teas quiz apps helpful.

I bought the official ATI TEAS guide book a few months before taking the exam. The book was honestly more difficult than the test. I was pleasantly surprised.

This is what I was looking for. I bought the smart prep package from ATI and Im going through the modules and there's sooo much information and so in depth.

I also did better on B, overall score was 6 points higher. So I was wondering if I could use that as a baseline to see where I'm at now. I'm going to continue studying and retake the practice tests to see if there is any improvement.

I did better on Test B. I really hope that the actual test is better so I have a better score. I am working on improving my score though.
