Great job on getting a great score without studying!

Your overall score is a 85.9 which is in the 95/96th percentile and constitutes an academic preparedness level of 'advanced'. However, some programs have an overall score requirement as well as one for each individual section.

For example:

TEAS Score requirements

Overall 60

Reading 72

Math 60

Science 50

Grammar 60

Did you perhaps score under your program's requirement for one section and did really great on the other three?

Your school may require a min score for each of the subjects. That's a great score though so you should ask your school.

I do agree with others: you may have scored low on any of the subtests in the TEAS. Also, it is spelled obtain, not uptaine. Maybe grammar is not your strongest suite.
