How do practice tests compare to TEAS test?

[meganurse2b714]

Hey ya'll. I'm getting high scores in the book tests, then I took the online practice assessments (spaced out) and realized all of the questions are weighted differently (bummer). I take the actual test on November 12th. My scores have been a little lower. My program only requires a 64% but obviously I'd rather get a much higher score than that. I have several resources and take a full, timed practice test every weekend. ATI online practice assessments, TEAS Secrets, McGraw-Hill 5 Practice Tests, and of course, the official study guide. Just curious how the actual test compares to all of the tests in these books and in the online assessments. The online tests are pretty hard.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

I just took the TEAS last Friday. I haven't had any science pre-reqs as I am an accounting major switching to nursing in the spring. I was nervous to take the test because I only had three weeks to prepare for it. All I did was watch some YouTube videos for the science portion and I also purchased the McGraw Hill.5 practice tests and I actually worked through 4 of the 5 practice tests. I will say that the McGraw hill book really helped me in the English, math, and reading areas. It helped me freshen up on subjects that I had not seen in awhile and the format of the questions were very similar to the real test (the real test questions were just a little bit harder). As for the science portion, the questions are so random there is really no way to study for them unless you've just had the classes already and know the material. I think the practice tests were really helpful though for the other parts!! [emoji4]

I got an 82.7% overall

Math - 100%

Reading - 93.7%

English - 90%

Science - 58.7%[emoji17]

School requires a 60% overall so I'm very happy with my first time results. Good luck with your test!!
