Just took TEAS exam

Hi all,

I am happy to say I just took my TEAS exam this last weekend and was accepted into the school I wanted to transfer to. I ranked in the top 15 percentile for the nation on the test. I am so happy it is done with. For any that want to know the kind of questions were as follows- a few algebraic questions, a few % ?'s, a few ratio and proportion ?s also in the math section there were a lot of word problems.

In the science there was only 2 anatomy ?s', scientific method ?'s, a few periodic table and element ?'s from Chemistry.

They really seemed to focus a lot on the English section which is knowing sentence structure, what kind of words there are, when and how to use commas, semicolon's, etc.

I just studied off of the ati study book and did very well. The ?'s in the book and the comprehensive test in the book were harder than the test itself. If you just study the book you will be good for the test. But don't just put in a day or 2 of studying. I studied for a week and a half whenever I had free time. I hope this helps somebody out there.

FYI for anyone who is worried about the chemistry section of the test: it is very general; I almost killed myself completing my chemistry pre-reqs but got 100% on that section on the TEAS...

If you are worried about that section (and any other section, for that matter) get the review book from ATI testing. If you don't want to buy it, you might be able to find it at the library (I, for one, donated mine to my school's library after I took the test) and borrow it or make copies of the sections you need to brush up on.

I can't remember what the questions were, but I do remember that ALL of the material was covered in the test prep book. It's not too scary, as long as you are prepared. This goes for all sections of the test!

Also, for some FREE practice tests (not exactly like the TEAS, but the review will help you immensely nonetheless) and tutorials to help you with your weaker areas, go to this link:

Good luck to all!!!

I am taking the TEAS test at the end of Feb. and I am scared to death. I am an older person returning to school and I NEVER took chm or bio in high school (believe it or not, it was not a requirement at my school!!) I planned to get the study guide but was hoping there were places to get one for less than the ATI website, Any suggestions? Thanks, Kelly in TN

Hi Nervous Nursey 2B,

I'm studying for the TEAS also and I'm remembering the # of covalent bonds by thinking of HONC (Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen & Carbon) to 1,2,3,4.

As in:

Hydrogen is 1

Oxygen is 2

Nitrogen is 3

Carbon is 4

Hope this helps.

Good Luck,

Juls :wink2:
