It's never too early to start the discussion....
Anyone else preparing to apply to the Nursing program at MDC by May 1, for a Fall 2021 start date? Which tracks? TEAS test plans?
I used the ATI study guides (I rented the book from MDC’s library). I’d say to at least give yourself 3 weeks to a month to study. What helped me the most was buying practice quizzes from the ATI website, it’s expensive but it was great practice and gave me a good idea of what the test would be like.
I bought the ATI Comprehensive package that has the practice tests, manual, and a study program included. It was very expensive, it was about $230 but I think it was worth it. Like @KaylaMonique said it was great practice because I knew what the test would be like and it helped me get familiar with the wording of the questions.

Just curious why you are waiting two months, which puts you right before the deadline for fall applications? If you don't do well on a first attempt, you have no chance at a second attempt..
If this is your first attempt I’d say go see an advisor to look at your grades and test scores, and then ask for their opinion. They will usually tell you if they think it’s best you try the test again or if you don’t need too. Someone from my class group chat said that she knows someone who got in with a 68% TEAS so its not impossible. But I’d recommend you try again if you can because I know it’s competitive. Goodluck you can do it!

Congratulations to you all. I’m having trouble concentrating on studying. I’m aiming for high 80’s, into the 90’s. I have two months to study before my exam. What all did you guys use to study, how long did you study for?
