How many times did you take the TEAS exam? (or other entrance exams)

I am just curious if most people retake for a higher score or keep what they get the first time. ALSO, if you retook a test, did you make a higher score the next time (How many points?)

I took the TEAS and got an 80.6 so I retook it today- I don't know what I made yet on the retake but I pray it is higher!

I took the NET and did really well (I think it was an 89 or something which was 96th percentile for test takers taking it at the same time as me) and I did NOT retake that one.

I haven't taken the HESI and I think I will actually not even apply to schools that require it b/c I don't want to take yet ANOTHER entrance exam- it would be the 4th time I would have sat for a test LOL! No thanks!

The math, reading, and english were JUST like the ATI book they sell and the online practice exam you can get from their website. The science was NOTHING like the book. I wouldn't bother studying the anatomy there were only two questions. The rest was geology. Rock formation, plate tectonics, hydrologic cycle, etc. HTH! I've heard the science is simlar to the GED testing books. I've also heard people say the Kaplan book was helpful. I didn't have either so I can't say.

I took the TEAS once, and I hope it is good enough to get in for my school!

My school takes a minimum of 80 so I didn't want the bare minimum when they look at me so I decided to just retake it and hope to do better :) I don't want to wait until next week for the grade to be posted! I wish they would put it up faster!

took the TEAS once. I'm applying to multiple schools, so its above all the requirements, and it has to admit me somewhere, lol.
