How hard is the TEAS test? Is it harder or easier than the practice tests that are provided with the study manual?

Go to the ati website and purchase a practice exam.. You can take it 2 times but it's timed.... It's EXACTLY like the teas

That's good to hear, because I have purchased the book. I've already taken the practice exams. I scored in the high 70's on the practice exams. Can I ask what you averaged? I've been told that the high 70's is good, but it make me very nervous about what I'll score on the actual exam!

I got a 87% on the exam.. However I only focused on the English and reason part because the school I was applying to only looked at those.

I felt like it was much harder than the practice tests. Just use critical thinking and youll be fine!

I felt it was easier than the practice tests. I struggled with the science practice tests but the science section on the actual exam wasn't so bad. I studied the manual by going through their notes for each section and just took the practice tests multiple times. I got an 86.7% and hoping to boost it up for my second attempt. I bought more practice tests to help me with my studying. Good luck!

I just took it today for the first time and got an 82.7, with only 4-5 days of studying, and it only took me 1.5 hours to complete. I think the actual test was easier than my practice exams-on the practice exams the highest score i got was 80 and the lowest was a 63! The science was my best subject and the english was my worst (pfft who even remembers what a predicate is?!??!). For the science section it was all pretty basic stuff that the ATI manual covered. The math sections problems were easier, and mine had mostly order of operations. The english was the hardest section for me and that's what I didn't even really study at all, so I would just say focus on your weak spots and once you do that, you'll be set to get above an 80

Practice TEAS test book with Questions and rationales were definitely helpful!
