How much time did you take to study for the TEAS?

you'll probably be fine with the algebra you have already taken. There was quite a variety of math on the teas.

I studied for 2 weeks, and passed with a 70% (needed a 65 to pass). Definetly get the ATI study guide, it was a perfect representation of what to expect on the test, and also included practice exams, so you can get an idea of what to focus on.

Great! Thanks for the advice. I will definitely get that study guide..

How well did you do on the practice test in the book ? For science I got 17/48

Hi to erica1223

How well did you do on one of the practice tests in the ATI study guide? Have you taken the online practice tests that ATI also gives out? If so, which one did you find to be the harder version?

I haven't taken the online test yet.I've taken the one in the book and didn't do so well on the science I got 17 wrong out of 48.I have three did books.

I'm not sure if this will come up in the science or math portions of these tests. It may, because I did see some statistics type questions. When you report your score as a ratio, you should report (number correct)/(total number of questions).

Not trying to nitpick, but I have seen this at least twice recently (maybe both were you), and both times I thought you did much worse than you actually did. 31/48 would be your score for the science section, not 17/48. If you divide 31 by 48, you'll get a % score - which gives you an idea of how you are performing against the national mean scores.

I took both online and book practice tests, and they were very similar, both about the same level of difficulty, and definetly a good represenative of what to expect on the actual test.

You did better than I did on the science portion, but then again I got close to 100% in both English/Reading portions, so even tho I kinda bombed science, I still passed.

I studies for about 2 weeks using a variety of books (Kaplan, Peterson's, and anything else that said TEAS on the cover) from the public library. I didn't buy the ATI study guide. I did all the practice tests in the other books and scored in the 99th percentile. The exam is not that bad if you do well on the practice tests. I actually did a lot better on the actual exam than on the practice tests. Hope this helps....Good Luck!

1 hour of study, but what really helped was not going in to the test hungover the 2nd time. lol.

Instant 5 percent jump.

the amount of time you take to study varies from person to person depending on their strengths and weaknesses.

for me, i'm taking 5 classes right now and had to manage to squeeze in time to study for the teas

the first time i took it i studied for 1 week before, probably 2 hours or so per day and i got a 76%

the second time i only reviewed the day right before the test.. lol

but i ended up getting a 88.7% cause it was the same version of the exam i took the 1st time :)

I think that the amount of time you spend studying is very much dependent on your past academic and test-taking abilities along with where you are in your course progression.

The sooner you can start to study the better. :) College Algebra will definitely help with the math part, but it may not be completely necessary to do well on the math part of the TEAS. If you have had more basic algebra at some point, you will probably be able to do most of the problems. There is definitely a lot of Algebra on the TEAS, but most of the problems are straightforward. Just practice, practice, practice and you will do great on the Math!

The Science section is the most difficult. Having some general knowledge of biology and A&P is helpful, and ideally, you will have taken these courses before taking the TEAS. The Chemistry is pretty basic as is the Physical Science. I really liked the McGraw-Hill book for the Science and Math Sections. While the Science was not all inclusive, it gave a nice overview of the topics I saw on my actual exam.
