shealz5 · Feb 7, 2013

I just took my TEAS and did not do as well as i anticipated..It was the English section that brought my score down. My overall was an 80. I have all my pre-reqs completed and have a 3.9 gpa. I am planning to retake TEAS again in April if I dont receive letter by second week in March.

I just took mine too, it was quite difficult! Do you mean you got an 80 as your adjusted score? Or the program percentile rank?

shealz5 · Feb 7, 2013

that was my adjusted score; my program rank is 77...eeeekkkk; it was my first time taking it and like I said the English was my bad section... how did you do btw....i am sorta limited to FGCU bc I have a 3 year old and can't relocate

Well first of all, kudos to you being a mom and going to school! I think you are okay with the 77. I believe that is the score they take (I googled it and read it on a FAQ page). The FAQ page I read said that they have taken from a 74-77 in recent semesters. Although I am not sure how recent that information is, I still think you'll be fine considering your awesome GPA!

And of course, I suppose it'd be a good idea to post my own info...

TEAS Program Percentile Rank: 90

Cumulative GPA: 3.8

As far as my TEAS experience, I did the worst on the Science portion!

Wow...impressive scores...best of luck.....did you apply anywhere else or is FGCU your only choice?

In addition to FGCU, I am applying to UF and USF. Have you found any other local programs since you can't relocate?

I really want to get my bachelors and not do a 4-6 year plan. Edison has a Associates degree but that will be 2- 2 1/2 years so it doesnt make much since not to just go for Bach at FGCU instead even though Edison has small class sizes and a nice up to date learning facility.

True, I agree! I definitely think it's worth it go for the BSN. I'm sure you'll get into FGCU though! :yes:

How do you know which score they look at on the teas test?

I say so many scores, Mean-Program, Percentile Rank-Program? Which one should I be looking at?

usfgirl · Feb 26, 2013

There's a FAQ that says they use the program percentile rank, so I am banking on that one :)

FGCU has nice small class sizes as well! I scored in the 80's and had a 3.5GPA. I graduated Dec 2011. Great professors great support. BSN over associates is the way to go! It's a hard program. I started with 38 people Jan 2010 and graduated Dec 2011 with only 6 girls of the original 38!! The rest failed out or graduated late. Definitely worth it. Study hard!!
