I need to take my TEAS test in May, should I take an early one too just in case?

I've heard that the test has gotten harder since they've released a new edition and you have to wait thirty days to take it again. Should I take an extra test just to be sure I score well on it? Do they accept a prior test if you scored better than one you'd taken more recently?

Please check with your program to make sure they will accept a second score if you don't do well the first time. All of the schools I applied to only take the first test, even if you've taken it 2, 3, 20 times since. And if they accept a second, they want to see a remediation program. So before you take the test, make sure that 1) you are as ready as you can be and 2) that your school will accept your second try and not limit you to your first.
