Is 2-3 weeks enough time to study and take the TEAS exam?

I previously took it 2 years ago and scored proficient (67). But the school I have in mind wants above 58% in all subjects. The only downside is that I scored 57% on the science subject back then.

So now I'm gonna take it again. I'm applying for Spring 2020, the application period is September 13-October 11. They said I can start sending everything else (transcripts, application) but I will need to send the TEAS results to them by October 11.

I'm just wondering if you guys think this time frame is doable or am I better off applying for Fall 2020 instead? I mean I'm game for trying to wing it by October 11 for Spring start but maybe you guys can talk some sense into me if you feel that I don't have my head screwed on properly.

Last time around when I took this exam and got 67, I spent 2 months studying before I took it. I downloaded two apps ATI TEAS pocket prep and TEAS mastery, I also ordered the ATI teas study guide and should be here in 2 days.

I only studied 3 weeks, but if I'm being honest I'm a good standardized test taker and I also had A&P very fresh in my mind at the time. Take the ATI practice tests on their website and let those scores guide your decision, I found those to be very true to the actual test.

Gotcha... so do you think I should hold off on sending the applicaiton/transcript for like 1-2 weeks so I can see if I have a good handle on the TEAS? Or just start sending it in?
