Confused with TEAS results...and some questions (newbee here)

Published

I just took the TEAS V test. It's supposed to be the newest version? What's the difference between the older versions and this one?

My scores are confusing to me. Also, the nursing program seems to be hush hush as far as trying to get information. After my test, the results were printed and the guy pointed to my Percentile Rank-Program which is a 90 and said it needed to be above 40. OK, so I guess I passed but my Adjusted Individual Total Score is a 78.7% (seems really low compared to the 90).

BTW, I thought the test was difficult to say the least. Some stuff I had never heard of. There was alot of questions that weren't in the test and a ton of info that's in the manual and NOT on the test.

I'm only going to my county college for an ADN RN, I guess my score wouldn't need to be top notch? I've seen other posts on here that say under an 80 is failing?

I'm really confused. If anyone can give me their :twocents: I'd appreciate it:redbeathe.

It depends on the school. The school I applied to went strictly on the adjusted individual score. Some schools look at the program percent rank. Check the school's website to make sure.

I checked. There is no info reguarding the scores.

Most lottery entry schools have a minimum individual score that is allowed for acceptence into the program. Other schools have open competitive based entry and accept students based on GPA and percentile ranking on the TEAS. 90% means you you did better that 90% of the people taking the same test. It's a good score, congratulations!
