How do you feel about the TEAS exam?

Published

I wanted to know everyone thoughts on the TEAS exam. I personally feel like the TEAS shouldn’t determine if someone who has a great GPA with numerous prerequisites high scores into the nursing program. I seen alot of students who can’t get into the nursing program because they didn’t  score a 75% on the exam but GPA be 3.8 and up. It also took me 3 times of taking the TEAS just to score an “advance” I just personally think the TEAS shouldn’t dictate if your capable of being in the nursing program, because once your accepted into the program it will NO longer matter ?. Thats just my opinion...

Hello , I am redoing my TEAS.. I do agree about the GPA part because there have been some people I know with very high GPAs but low test scores whom haven't gotten into the program. I took both the TEAS and the NLN and I personally feel the TEAS correlates more to what I have learned in pre-reqs more than the NLN.  And I do agree it won't matter anymore in the end .. in many ways I see it as added stress. But don't fret , it took me 3 times to get the NLN score I wanted.
