How similar is the TEAS V test to the ACT?

Hello! I am applying for nursing school in February, but before I apply I have to take the TEAS V test. How similar is this test to the ACT/SAT test? My pre-nursing advisor said that basically if you do well on the ACT/SAT, you'll do well on the TEAS V test, but I just want to make sure I know how to study and what to expect. I made a 28 on the ACT if that helps.

Hello, I took the ACT in like 2010 i believe, so i don't remember the score I got (but it was pretty bad), however, i took the TEAS-V exam at the end of 2014 and i passed it. To me the TEAS-V was easier to understand than the ACT (and that is saying a lot!!)(I'm not good at studying for big tests like these). The exam includes a lot of information, i highly recommend a study book for the TEAS-V (this will help you understand it's layout) and attend study sessions if your college provides them. The study sessions helped me, i didn't bother buying a study book, but each person is different. I really hope this advice helps.
