did you pass all the areas? if you failed say the science, then you will not get accepted. you have to pass all the areas of the teas. i believe it was 80% in reading, 70% in english, 60% in math and 60% in science. been awhile since i took it.

if you did pass all the areas, congrats, however, that is a lower score. most schools give you 3 tries within a 2 yr period. i would study the area's that you are struggling in or got a lower score in. after you take the teas they usually give you a print out of the test, look on the areas that are lower. study/ research on here, and try to retake and get your score up.

here are a few threads i found related to the teas: basically i just typed "teas" in the search box in the allnurses search box.

i have been reading on these threads on the teas exam scores and........
well i only got a 69.1 percent
do i have a chance?

depends on what everyone else applying to your school got.

Around here, 67% is the minimum score required to get into programs. Competitive programs would probably need a higher score, but for the lottery/waitlist programs, 69% would be fine.

My understanding is that scores often go up by 10 points (or more, if you do a lot of focused studying) the second time you take the test!

Thank You, That Makes Me Feel A Little Better, But If For Some Reason I Dont Get In This Time Around, I Will Study Harder In The Areas. I Didnt Do So Well In (like Science)

That's awesome that you got in!!!! :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

I was in the same situation as you. I had a horrid NET score. It was less than average. But I had an overall GPA of 3.86 and a 4.0 on my pre-reqs. I was so worried that my NET score was going to keep me out of school. And my school only allows 1 try per year. I was shocked and excited when I found out I got accepted.
