FALL 2021 Nursing program at Suffolk county community college

[Emilu]

Hello, I am currently a student at Suffolk county community college preparing to apply for the nursing program for fall 2021 start. I figured I would start this early since the deadline was extended to March 1st 2021. I am preparing to take the TEAS in December most of my prerequisites are finished with a grade of A and one B. If anyone has some great tips on how to score in the 80s and 90s feel free to share. I wish everyone the best of luck.

No problem! I was surprised myself ? I think it’s because their application process is less holistic than most nursing programs, so they can get through reviewing them more quickly.

That’s very true. I’m a little surprised that they don’t take any medical experience or anything else besides stats into consideration ?

what is everyone’s rubic score? Or what the average for admission is I know it varies based on applicant pool. My rubic is 76 and I hope that’s high enough to get in.

I just finished the TEAS last Friday w/ a 91. My rubric is 88. I hope it’s enough! I was rejected a couple years ago. Back then, my TEAS score was 81 and I was missing A&P2, stats, and micro.

Hi! I applied to the Nursing program fall 2021!  I took the TEAS and got 84 and rubric score is 77.50.. I have all pre reqs except one class which is a history 103 or 104. Are my chances still good enough? ?

My biggest tip I can give is to take advantage of the resources out there. The biggest is the mast amounts of practice tests that are out there. I paid for an subscription to mometrix. there is a coupon code somewhere so I paid $35 a month but there are 8 Full TEAS tests, the other is https://www.smarteditionacademy.com/courses/ATI-TEAS-workbook-online-resources/   its free just register for a free account... again its another 8 different full TEAS tests... that's a total of 16 practice tests.... go through the tests and make flash cards of all the questions you got wrong for science, math and English, trust me you WILL see repeats of questions. even if you don't see a repeat, you can figure out answers by process of elimination. with English section try to memorize the patterns, there will be patters especially with questions regarding simple, complex, compound sentences... remember conjuntions numonic FANBOYS for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.... for math make sure you know PEMDAS, for math my biggest tip is convert ALL fractions into decimals do the problem then convert back into fractions even if you have to go through the answer choices 1 by 1... for example 1/2 + 3/8  =      turn it to .5 + .375 = .875   = 7/8  (thats an example)   you don't need to memorize the formulas for areas, volume, surface volume for shapes they will give you the formula on the real TEAS but not on the practice tests.... anyone have any specific questions on how to do anything math related lmk I got 100% on math... but practice, practice, practice...... good luck and again im here if you need anything... my personal email is [email protected]
