Ivy Tech TEAS and APHY 201 ?

U.S.A. Indiana

Published

I know there are a ton of TEAS support threads and I'm so grateful for them, but I am seriously freaking out. This should be a simple academic skills test right? I earned A's in all 4 pre reqs and now my entire future is resting on this darn test (drama queen, I know). The more practice skills assesments I take online, the worse I do! I bought the ATI manual and online test and did OK in Reading, Spelling and Math (80's or 90's) but Science I got a 45% in! I'm trying to "study" but how do you relearn your entire elementary education in a week or two? Then I went to the test preview website and took the vocab section questions - my lord those don't even make sense to me. I know I'm not dumb, but I don't do well on tests and since I can only take this test 3x ever, I don't know how to calm down about it. Wisdom and advice please :confused:

Thanks guys! I got a 90.0% this morning! I got the exact same test as last time too, which was both comforting and scary. I got the same total number correct, but a better distribution, and I totally destroyed the math section which was awesome! I'd been working really hard on that. I'm so happy I won't have to take it a third time!

I am retaking mine Thurs. ack!!!

First Attempt: I flew through it (esp math!) b/c ppl kept telling me how you run out of time. Then I had like 8 extra mins at the end so i went back through them.

This time: going to go a BIT slower and read more carefully!!! Hopefully won't be as nervous this time

Did the practice test and got a score in the 90's but there was so much on the TEAS that was NOT on the practice test! SO the practice test isn't really that helpful if you ask me!

Great job Lennonninja! One question though: is it always the same test the second time you take it?

Great job!! I just got back from taking the TEAS for the first time and got 91.8! So glad I don't have to retake it!

That's great, are you applying at the Lawrence campus Victoria? I wonder if they round the decimals or if the .4's and .8's matter at all. I guess since it's a ranking, they do!

I'm applying to the Fort Wayne campus. I was told they do round the decimals.

Nope, I'm not! With this score, my points are at 205, which I'm thinking/hoping will be good enough for the traditional ASN program here! :)
