So, I just finished my Teas-V and thought I would share some of the things I felt were important and how you can focus your studies towards every part of the subjects. I use the ATI and I would say invest in that book and also take the online assessment both A and B it will help..invest money in these product so you can see what the test is like and if you did bad on the online assessment it mean nothing just don't be disappointed because it was meant to be hard!! don't give up on studying because of the online assessment...also keep in mind why you are taking the test? the answer i hope will be to do good and pass it for whatever reason!!.. I WILL NOT GIVE QUESTIONS BUT I WILL COVER EVERYTHING THAT YOU WILL SEE ON THE TEST.
Reading- I would say keep practicing and let me tell you the passages are big and I had a hard time completing the this portion as I'm a slow reader. One of the advise I would give and found to be useful is---READ ALL THE QUESTION BEFORE YOU READ THE PASSAGE!!it worked for me (in some parts), but keep practicing SOME OF THE TOPIC TO CONCENTRATE: LOGICAL CONCLUSION, MAIN IDEAS, SUPPORTING DETAIL,OPINION, LABELS-INCLUDES ALL THE TYPES COVERED IN THE ATI BOOK..REALLY MASTER IT AND BE QUICK ..use online, get GED book or something that will help to improve your score. This section is 28%.
Math- It is dead on from the ATI book so I would go through the practice over and over again and I know the book lack more practice I would say go online type in the topic on google you will find tons of work to practice or understand the concept and really master the word problems you will see that a lot on the test. My test had multiplication, additions in form of word problems, Roman numbers( going back to Arabic numerals), DATA HOW TO TELL WHAT GRAPH TO USE AND MEASUREMENT( YOU DON'T HAVE TO MEMORIZE THE CONVERSION IT IS GIVEN), FORM EQUATION FROM WORD PROBLEM, AND INEQUALITY AND FEW ALGEBRAIC.. seriously know this stuff you will see these.
Science: ALL I CAN SAY JUST LEARN THE TOPIC GIVEN IN ATI IN AND OUT. GO TO KHAN.COM OR JUST GOOGLE SEE VIDEO, READ READ READ FOR THESE TOPICS TILL YOU ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND--- MITOSIS, MEOSIS, OSMOSIS, DIFFUSION, PROTON, NEUTRON, ELECTRON, BALANCING EQUATIONS, FUCTION OF ALL SYSTEMS, PUNNETT SQUARE, PHOTOSYNTHESIS WITH EQUATIONS, RESPIRATION WITH EQUATIONS,KINETIC ENERGY, POTENTIAL ENERGY,CATALYSIS, PH SCALE BOTH ACID AND BASE ALSO WHEN YOU COMBINE BOTH WHAT YOU GET, OXIDATION REDUCTION REACTION, KNOW VERY WELL OF SCIENTIFIC METHODS... furthermore please for heaven sake know in and out of each of these topic and on the topic in ATI i didn't mention for science just keep googling it....THE KEY TO PASS THIS SECTION IS UNDERSTANDING AND THINKING ABOUT WHAT THE QUESTION IS ASKING IT REQUIRES YOU TO THINK. STOP, READ, ASK YOURSELF WHAT IS IT ASKING YOU AND PICK THE ANSWER AND DON'T DOUBLE GUESS LEAVE IT AFTER YOU PICKED AN ANSWER OR GO BACK IF YOU ARE 1000% SURE YOU ARE WRONG THEN CHANGE OTHERWISE LEAVE IT!!!
English: this is my second language I had a little bit hard time, but it is RIGHT OUT OF THE BOOK FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT WILL COME ON THE TEST!!!
FINAL THOUGHT:
IF YOU SHORT ON TIME CONCENTRATE ON SCIENCE, READING, MATH, AND ENGLISH--GO IN THAT ORDER.
IF YOU GOT MORE TIME REALLY WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO GO THROUGH EVERYTHING ON THE BOOK BECAUSE IT WILL REALLY REALLY HELP YOU AND YOU WILL COVER A LOT.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING, DON'T DOUBLE GUESS AS IN IF YOU PICKED AN ANSWER STAY WITH IT, UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY 1000% THINK YOU ARE RIGHT THEN CHANGE IT IF NOT LEAVE IT AND MOVE ON.
IF I CAN DO IT YOU CAN DEFINITELY DO IT!!!!
USE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION, BLOCK OUT ALL THE NOISE AND FOCUS ON THE TEST!
good luck on the test if you have question don't hesitate to ask i will be more than happy to help you out. :)
all of you who are taking just don't memorize the words they are basic errors or the meaning of an underline words as long as you can understand what they are asking as in when they as for the meaning read the complete sentence so that you can think of what words will go for it english is not bad...concentrate more on math, science, reading and english----in this order as i did sorry for the late reply
what i did was use the ati book solely...once you get the hang of ati book i should say you are good...again keep in mind science can we way out there and i would say if you pick one answer stick with it don't go back and second guess it...hope it helps sorry for the late reply
you don't have to memorize anything...the english is basic what i got it didn't give me rule that doesn't mean yours will be like that i would say you will do fine if you just do the practice test.
dont worry about online...it was really hard i bombed and scored the same online...the real test i got a 80s so you on good shape don't worry...hope you did good
what i would say since you got lot of time on your hand is study the ATI book back and forth till you get a good grab of stuff in there...i would definitely concentrate on the math, science, reading and english in this order as it helped me a lot...i scored high on math and science and did ok on reading...so i would say keep practicing go to khan.com and other site...science is really out there...there is no prediction of what will be on the test but the ATI book covers them good so learn that well...sorry for the late reply
i didn't like the flashcard it was way out there...i would say know the ATI book inside out and the topic of the science on the test was way off so i can tell you is if you know the science in the ATI book you should be fine as it touch on topics but just briefly not in detail and i can tell you science is just out there you can predict what can come and not come, but ATI does a good job. My online score the assessment was in 58% but my real score was 80% so the online was harder don't get discouraged keep on moving
vocab not to bad i would say don't memorize everything in the book...it was mostly meanings of a word and correct the spelling dont woryy you should be fine..
