Difficulty of Science Portion

[lyn92]

Hey all! I was just wondering to those of you who have taken the TEAS V recently, how hard was the science portion? If you bought the practice tests, did you feel like what was on there showed a fair description of the materials that would be on the test? I'm taking it in June and would have completely A&P II and Chem by then and I also took Microbio in the fall semester, so everything would be pretty fresh in my mind. I also bought the books as a study guide but I'm still nervous. I've heard mixed reviews of the science portion being easy to being super hard. Any information will help. I understand you guys can't share exactly what was on the test, I'm just wondering about the difficulty of it is all :) Thanks!

Mine was a bunch of chemistry and earth science.

Thanks! The Khan website a big help!

I am currently using the ATI book as well, but the only thing that worries me is that some people say it doesn't prepare you for ALL the potential science questions that could be on the science portion and that's understandable, that' something you have to review yourself, but still, it's quite stressful >_

Some people said the ATI manual and the McGraw Hill book helped, and some people say it doesn't. It's very worrisome.

How recent did you take the test if you don't mind me asking? :)

I wish you the best of luck! I'll be taking mine on June 3rd.

Hey guys - posting about specific topics is considered academic dishonesty in many areas. Please keep things general. Thanks.

I don't see how anyone posted anything that would fall under "academic dishonesty", especially when the study guide printed by ATI covers more info than what posters have said. Now, had some said "this exact question was on my exam" that's academic dishonesty but telling some to brush up on balancing equations.... Not so much. Other Teas threads have delved way furthers into details than this post.

Thats because the posts that violated our terms of service have been deleted. The ones left are fine. Just a friendly reminder.....

I just took mine this past Wednesday and my science portion was almost all micro. It was terrible!

you didn't get any biology or chemistry?

If you will study and KNOW, hands down, the info in the TEAS prep manual then you should be good to go. I bought the manual and the two practice online tests. I did very well. Taking the online tests just helps give you a feel for how the actual proctored test will go in terms of timing, etc. The prep booklet gives you the info you need to learn/know in order to score well.
