Hello,
im new to the site. Any info would be great! I have been out of school for about 15 years now. I'm in the medical sales field but feel it's time to go after a Job that's secure. With that being said I've decided to go back to school to be a nurse. I ordered the ATI teas V study manual. I'm not going to lie I'm very overwhelmed with how much I forgot!!! And how much info I need to learn.
is there something else I should be studying to make me better prepared for the exam?
thank you in advance

Unfortunately, you went with the wrong book... while the book for the TEAS 5 has more information, the exam has changed a bit, so there will be things in the book that you either don't need to know anymore or stuff that's missing. My suggestion is to keep the book you have to use as an extra study resource, but also purchase the new version of the book to really know what you should know for the exam. Also, if you can afford it, I highly recommend the 2 official practice exams on the ATI website. It will not only give you an idea of what to expect, it will tell you where you stand. Take it once asap, and then dedicate yourself to studying, and then a week or so before your exam date, take it again. You get to take each practice exam twice. Unfortunately, you will recall some of the questions, so it won't be 100% accurate the second time about what you know vs. don't know, but you'll definitely be able to pick out your strong/weak points and be able to focus your studying better rather than being overwhelmed and not knowing where to even begin. The test is more overwhelming theoretically than it actually is in practice. It truly isn't that horrible of an exam. Think of it as a standard entrance exam one takes to find out if they need remedial courses or are good to go without them. Take it one subject at a time and you'll do fine. Other resources that are good to use are Khan Academy as well as the TEAS Mastery app on your phone for practice questions
I'm sorry I miss spoke. I did I face get the teas 6 study manual .
