How did I do on the TEAS?

Ever since I started college I was worried about the big bad scary TEAS and now I finally got it over with. My individual score is 76.7% and my national percentile is 82%, are those good scores? I did not really study for it other than reviewing the math in the TEAS study book, but I probably should have studied more considering I usually do much better in English than math, but on this exam it was the opposite. Anyone else take the TEAS V before they change it to the new TEAS? How did you do?

What matters most is how you did compared to the average incoming class/cutoff of the programs you are applying to. And your other grades. If you are asking how you did compared to people on HERE, you are probably going to have scores all over the board. You did better than 82% of people taking the test. I would say that is quite decent.

It depends on how your school views it. If it's competitive entry and you score higher, that's worth more on your application, and increases your chance of acceptance. If it's a lottery or waiting list entry, then all that matters is that you scored above the minimum required. I scored a 92% and it helped me earn a hospital sponsorship (along with my 4.0 gpa and excellent recommendations) which pays for my tuition and books, but I go to a lottery entry school so the higher score wouldn't have helped me actually get into the program.
