I fail Teas twice, what should I do now..

[Momona]

when I just start my A&P class, my nursing friend told me the Teas exam is super easy, I should take as quick as possible..so I did, and I fail....and then I go to the nursing office to ask for how many time Teas exam I can take here, and is it affected when I apply to get into the program? a young girl told me that I can take as many times as I want, and the score number is not important, the important thing is my GPA of A&P, Chemistry, ENGLISH and psychology. She also said the only I need is to past the Teas exam... so I did again, no surprising, I didn't pass again. during the time I check my Teas result, the staff told me I can only take twice on this college, otherwise, If I really want to continue this major, I need to transfer....My school is Lagcc

I dont know what should I do now, I'm not interesting on other fields, but seems there has no any other colleges accept me except privacy college, but they are too expensive. My ENG101 AND psychology are both A, but chemistry is B.... I'm taking my A&P now. I don't know what is my next step....any opinion please? or any public college for nursing in NYC for recommence? Im so frustrated

I guess its because the internet tells you that the test measures your basic knowledge of Mathematics, Science, English and Language Usage, and Reading, however, this also would be different depending on the education you receive before college. There are many people that failed the TEAS test where I am from but passed A&P, so I think there is more to it. I do think that if you are not somewhat fluent not in English but proper English since this is what the test uses it may be a problem. Basic English classes that we take in grade school are where we are supposed to learn these skills but not everyone does. You can go to amazon.com and order books that may be able to help you with this. There are TEAS practice test online that you can use to help guide you in what you need help on. Nursing school is not easy, actually the TEAS test is easier, so in order not to waste time prepare yourself in your weak areas before you start nursing school. Most schools require some type of entrance exam, so be prepared for this. You may have to relocate if you are unable to find a school near you that will accept your failing the test twice. The nursing career is not something to take lightly. Make sure that you are at your best since this will help you in the future.

....? Not sure what you are trying to get at....I never said that all you have to do is pass A&P. I said the minimum is A&P, because the OP said that she was told she did not need it...

Did not say that you said that, Never said that you said anything just posted your quote and "whoever told you you don't need them is a moron or ***." is the part I was referring to. Probably someone who got their information from the internet, which is not a reliable source. Other than that I was expressing my opinion on the original post and the things that they student said.
