I PASSED MY TEAS V!!!!

Thank you!!! I used the ATI study guide and the ATI online practice exams...these are a must. I also used McGraws Nursing School Entrance Exams 15 practice test study guide, with CD Rom. There was a member here who posted a phenomenal outline with which to help study. I screen shot her post, typed and printed out the outline. If you are interested, send me your email, and I will be more than happy to send the shots to you.

I first started by taking the two ATI online practice exams. These helped gauge where I was and where and what to focus my study on. These are nice too because you can take each one twice. After taking the practice exams, I printed out the report, and begin reviewing in the study guide all the things I had missed on the practice exams. That took me 3 weeks. I then took the first set of practice exams in the back of the ATI study guide. Next I started going over the outline I had printed up and kept reviewing what I had already studied. That took me another week. During that week, I took the science practice tests in the McGraw book and on the CD rom. Continued to keep reviewing what I had already gone over. I also took the second set of practice tests at the end of the ATI study guide. My exam was on a Friday. On Wednesday I took one of the online ATI practice exams again, and studied afterwards. Thursday I took the second online version again and studied afterwards as well. Woke up early Friday morning and reviewed for another couple of hours before my tests. A few things I want to point out is that Khan Academy and YouTube videos really helped me with the Life Science and Earth and Physical Science. They have excellent videos. The other thing is I kept a notebook and basically wrote down almost everything I read in the ATI book in a notebook. Retention and understanding is better when you write it down versus just reading and highlighting. The last thing I want to say is study the English and Language Usage. I was overconfident in that area, did not review it but for a day, and it was my lowest scoring section when it shouldn't have been. I would have scored higher overall if I had scored better in the Englidh. My score were, 90.5% for Reading, 86.7% Math, 81.3% Science, and 60% for English. I was in the top 11% in the nation overall, and top 5% for Reading and Science. I hope this helps :)

Yayyy! That's awesome!!! Great job! Yes I did apply already. I meet with financial aid next Wednesday. It was a lengthy process with drug testing, med clearance, and several other things including passing the TEAS. The minimum score to apply is 62. After my financial aid meeting next week, I have to hope to get called for an interview with the DON. She only selects 24 applicants a term. Keeping my fingers crossed
