Fail the teas need HELP!!

Java Mama · Jun 17, 2010

Go to the ati webite. For a small fee, you can take 2 of their sample tests that are suppose to be like the teas. I failed the teas the first time due to low math scores, so I signed up for a math class to help me brush up since I had been out of school over 20 years. Hope this helps.

I did by the sample tests in the teas website and on the sample test I got an 85% over all and then when I went to take the real one I got a 65% overall. math was 70% science was 52%, reading was 92% and english was 50 something. I dont know was went wrong.

I am going to take the test again in three more week, if I fail this time I am going to have to wait 1 year, to try again. I dont know what I am going to do if I fail again.

I understand how you feel. Just study even harder, try all of the sample test on the internet. Do not retake it until you are 100% sure you will do better.

Do you remember any of the questions that you struggled with? Was it Biology? Chemistry? Earth Science? - My test was all over the place. I'd suggest that you brush up on basic concepts in the sciences. I didn't feel like the study guide prepared me well enough for the science section either. Luckily I still passed though. I was strong enough in the other areas to take a bit of a hit with the science. (I hope) We'll see - I have to wait it out till they send out letters in September.

But if I had to do it over again, I would definitely brush up on biology, stuff on plants, and do a little more brushing up on my chemistry.

I agree with not taking it again until you are confident you can pass it and not just barely passing, but passing well. Focus on the areas you struggled with.

Thank you so much for your help.

Don't feel bad I scored a 68 the first time and a 82 the second time, my score went up in math and reading and I even got a 100 on one of the english sections. English is the weakest subject and I had to work extra hard. You should have received a print out on each area. I would suggest that you focus on those areas that you scored the lowest on. Science is kind of a hit or miss. Of course make sure that you know your conversions and ratios because that is important when you are in nursing. All I can tell you is to study and practice. Hopes this helps.
