I passed the TEAS but was rejected from nursing school so I am practicing the same advice that I will give you. Don't become discouraged. That is what I am trying to tell myself. Try, try again! I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and while I may not see that reason right from the get-go, things usually work out for the better.

Use a study guide, enroll in an online prep course, organize a study group...whatever it takes to ensure that you pass next time!

Don't be sad, now you know what to study for when you're taking your exam. When I took it the first time I did outstanding Math, English, and Reading portion, but then scored a 16 percent. I scheduled for another test the same week, busted my ass off on the science portion and was happy to finish with a 85 on my science :).

Hey! I took my TEAS the first time and failed too... I was really sad and discouraged. I need to take the TEAS again but so scared because most schools only want you to take the TEAS twice so its making me really nervous. I see so many people getting high 80s and 90s which discouraged me even more thinking I was the only one who failed........

One thing I find that most students don't do well is because of second guessing. Many I know who were off by the 1% cutoff, went back changed a couple of their answers and to later find out that the first one was right.
