I am also applying for FIU-- I was accepted last year to MDC but for financial and personal reasons could not attend. :'( Who else will be applying to Generic FT? Please state what program you will be applying to!
I will be taking the TEAS sometime in March, in which I will also be taking the HESI A2 for FIU. So I might as well be studying for both, lol. Anybody taken the TEAS at MDC? Share your experiences here! :) I will be using a general book for nursing school entrance exams... it's by Barron... and I will be studying my math from a nursing calculation book, and my sciences from my anatomy, biology, and other notes. Is it true there is geology on the exam? How irrelevant... lol
Well, I think that an 82 is not a bad score. Still there is a lot of competition out there, and since people are getting 85 and 86, an 82 doesn't look that good anymore :) Anyways I still have time to take it again if I need it. At the meantime I'm happy!!!

About the Teas...it wasn't that bad. The math was pretty basic. Addition of fractions, percent, perimeter of a rectangle, basic subtraction, nothing difficult. The reading and English part was easy as well. The part I found kind of difficult was the science portion...but, I have to say that I haven't taken Microbiology or finished A&P2
And yes, I studied by the ATI Manual :)
If you have any other question you can PM me and I can tell you more or less what was the test about!
And thanks guys for the answers and I hope you all get accepted into the program!
By the way! I have a 4.0 GPA...I hope I can maintain it until I finish next semester (fingers crossed)
an 82 AND a 4.0.... yea.... u don't have much to worry about! LOL
Hi everyone! I'm also applying to MDC for fall 2011 (the accelerated option). I took the TEAS last year though - does anyone know if it's absolutely necessary to retake it again (as I've noticed most of you have taken the TEAS V)? I'm just wondering how strict they are about this...
If anyone knows about this, I'd appreciate your feedback! :) Thanks and good luck to all of you!!!
I am pretty sure that you have to take the TEAS V and you have to take it at Miami Dade College-Medical Campus...so if you took it at a different school or a older version of the test most likely you will have to retake it.
Thank you, Marah1984! Man, I sure hope I dont have to retake it. I've been done with my prereq's for about a yr now so all of the bio/chem won't be as fresh for me. I spoke with someone at medical campus about how I took the TEAS in San Diego (which is where I live) and they said they might be able to make an exception, allowing my score to transfer over instead of making me fly all the way out there just to take the TEAS...but she said nothing about it needing to be the TEAS V. Every time I call, I have such a hard time getting through to someone who is actually able to answer my questions - anyone have any tips/advice on how I can get this answered asap? Especially if I end up having to retake it, seeing as how we're only a few weeks away from the deadline. :/
