Good TEAS Score?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to know if my TEAS score was good. Our school goes off a point base scale and it seems a lot of us are in the 60s. It seems many of us are proficient or below. I was suprised at the average when I saw it because I thought the average would be higher but I guess it is what it is, I have a feeling this will be close.

Indivual score: 62.0%- Proficient

Program Average: 66.1%

National average: 65.5 %

Passing score for our school is 58.7%

Here is a thread that answers that question.

It definitely depends on your school. Are you applying for LPN or RN? Hopefully they will give you an interview if you haven't yet. With the LPN-RN program I'm looking into they recommend either Advanced or Exemplary, so they completely disregard the average. It doesn't mean that Proficient can't get into the program, but it tends to be harder because of the rubric that determines who gets accepted. Definitely follow up with your school.

If your school passing score is 58.7% that's wonderful. I've gotten that score 4x and can't pass my schools passing score which is 70%

We are an ASN program. So I'm not sure how that goes. They want proficient or better for us.

Goodwin College in Connecticut. They do BSN and ASN programs there. I'm trying to get into the ASM program.

I got a 74.7% I studied so hard for the math portion as I was petrified I'd fail it as I'm not great in math, and ended up doing best in Math. lol.. Probably took away from time studying toward the other areas. I thought I had done better. But after finding out the average was 66.1, I didn't feel so sick. Just so tough to compete in a points system. Not all great nurses, or even people, are good test takers. You can be great at your job and not take written well, or do amazing on tests, but not be the best at your job. We just have to keep our head up and keep trying.

Makes me more nervous as I know the actual nursing program is really hard. If we worry over this, I fear what's to come.. lol :)
