Did you score higher than 90 on TEAS V?

I took it three years ago and scored in the 99th percentile nationally. But I am awful at Math, so my English scores were almost perfect. The science is basically what you learn in BIO, the math is general but you can't use a calculator.

I took it in March and got a 95.3% over all. I hear so many people say they ran out of time..especially in the math portion. Be sure to brush up on fractions, long division, multiplication, and basic algebra. Get a hold of a workbook and work the problems over and over again. Best of luck to ya!!

If I can recall, the science was not so much A & P as basic life science (BIO). The math portion is algebra, no calculators allowed. Good luck!

I posted a long nod detailed post about what to expect on the TEAS V. If you click on my name you should be able to look through the topics I have posted. Hope it helps!

i finished both the TEAS V online practice tests and got 72%on both! :down: ! I'm taking my test tomorrow and i'm so nervous! Is it really true that the online assessment is harder than the real test? what are your scores on both of them? :cry:

The math was super easy, but my science was just about all micro and questions on the cell parts, functions, and hormones. That part was a little rough.

tykesmommy: Did you tried to do the online practice tests?:)

93.3% AIS here. I used the ATI Manual and the McGraw-Hill 5 Practice tests. McGraw Hill's materials aren't as close as the real test, especially for the science portion. But it's good for the reading, grammar, and math portions; it is also a good resource to practice your exam-taking skills and timing.

The science portion is pretty random, but mostly Biology, Chem, and A&P. I don't remember seeing any Micro questions on mine.

The math portion really is a joke.

Don't forget to use the internet. I needed more practice on grammar (e.g. complete/compound sentence) so I searched for it and found a bunch of interactive exercises.

Hey girl, I am going to take the TEAS V on August, too. I'm so nervous. Of course, I am aiming for above 90 points. hehe What schools are you applying too? I'm going to apply to SBVC and RCC. : )

I used this: https://allnurses.com/teas-exam-help/how-i-passed-804222.html and the ATI manual. The thread I linked to is incredibly helpful.

My score was 90.7. I feel like I could have done better but I had 9 days to study and I didn't study the language part at all. My score probably would have a been a bit higher if I'd taken time to go online and review some basic rules of grammar. Instead I focused on math, because it had been like 17 years since I took an algebra class, and science. Wish I had had more time to study the science portion as that was the toughest section.

I scored much lower on the online practice tests than I did on the actual test, so I wouldn't worry too much about your practice test score. If you can get your practice tests into the 80's you'll probably hit 90 on the actual test.

Good luck!
