Failed x 3

Published

I've taken the teas 3 times now, first time got a 53, second a 60 and just took it again and got a 68. I studied for weeks with the ati manual and went in so confident. I get so stressed I choke. All last night I was covered in hives due to stress. I took an Ativan before I went to help relax me and it still didn't help. I'm starting to think I'm never going to get into a nursing program because I don't test well. I'm also a straight A student and I'm upset the schools around me go by this test first. Please please, I need some suggestions, words of encouragement or ideas on how I can pass this test. I'm so depressed. I now have to wait till next year to take the exam and apply again for the program.

I feel the same way you do about basing entrance of a nursing program based on an entrance what about good grades? Ughhh

Anyway, I failed the teas test by 1 point the 1st time I took it after studying for weeks and the night before. However I passed the teas test the 2nd time for another program and got in. Some people fail those tests the first few times before passing. Also, do you have test anxety? Do you eat before a test? Also try the McGraw Hill Five Teas PracticeTest book it had things that the ati book didnt have. Good Luck hun do not let this stop you :)

I choke! I go in so prepared and bomb every time! I studied so much and felt prepared. I used mcgraws book and the ati book.

Hello! I know what you mean. I cannot pass it either! But I heard GED books are great for the teas. I have been using it for the last month and it has the same outline as the teas. I will PM you my email address and maybe we can figure this thing out together :)

Please help, this test is too broad and I am starting to become so nervous.

I am sorry to heard that, I am going to take the test next month... Why you did not pass it, it was because science? Did you have a lot of physics and chemistry questions? I am working on the macgraw hill book, but some questions seem to logical... Is the test the same way?
