Does anyone have any advice on taking the TEAS test?

My advice is to buy the Study Manual and 2 practice test bundle from the API website directly. I think it is around $100 but it is the best value. This was the most relevant study material because the two practice tests were very similar to the test itself. The Kaplan practice test book was helpful but not as closely aligned.

The API study manual says it covers everything that will be on the test. This was unfortunately not true BUT it covered almost everything (I remember it not covering some physics, physiology, and rate of work - know this equation!). If you know what's in that book you will do well.

The amount of information you need to know is very broad so don't try to learn everything. Focus on your weaknesses and strengthen them! Make sure you can do all of the math problems - this is an easy section to focus on because it is finite. Doing well here will lift your overall score. Study the language sections and the types of passages and sentences so you can do well here, as well. The contextual vocabulary was pretty straight forward to me - but there were a lot on the test - so be sure you are clear on these too!

Hope this helps!
