43% or Higher on TEAS

Published

Hi Everyone!

I have to get a 43% or higher on the TEAS to get into this nursing program and I take the test Saturday. Just was wondering how easy it is to get a 43% or higher. I am really nervous!

Thanks

43% adjusted or raw?

What kind of program only requires a 43%?

No, let me guess, a very expensive, for profit school? A program that only requires a 43% on the Teas which is a basic knowledge test, is in my opinion, a very subpar school that only wants to put you deeply in debt.

A 43% is pretty low for TEAS. I'm also curious about the type of school it is. The for profit school I started at first had very low TEAS score standards. From what I've seen on here, most competitive programs require much higher, almost double, for acceptance.

I think if you review the TEAS study guide and practice the information, you'll be fine.

Wow! That's super low. I can't imagine you not passing. I would say that you shouldn't find it hard to pass. That score means you have a LOW level of academic preparedness. They have no expectation for you to pass the class, let alone the NCLEX, but they'll gladly take your tuition $.

Good gracious that's low. I'm sure you could pass it without even studying. I got into my LVN program without studying for the TEAS & the program requirement was much hire than that!

65% is the average 43% should not be difficult.

You should be fine with that. It's not going to hurt to review things. If you search in the TEAS help section you will find a lot of VERY useful information. I suggest you start there now if you haven't done so already.

I'm in the same boat as you! except my school requires a significantly higher percentage for admission consideration. I have a friend that took the TEAS test just to get a feel for it in order to take it again and they scored in the 70's. So you should be way above a 43%. May I ask what Nursing school you are applying to?

Holy Cow!!!!!!! A 43%??? That's going to be so easy to do! I just took my TEAS this morning and made an 80 on it and only studied this past weekend. Don't worry if you can make a 43......you definitely can......
