My TEAS Score... good enough?

[breezy7, BSN, RN]

Meant to post this here!

Just took the TEAS:

Adjusted Score: 86.7%

Reading: 92.9%

Math: 90%

Science: 72.9%

English: 96.7%

Percentile National: 97%

Percentile Program: 99%

I guess I'm only nervous because my science score is the low one... also, I'm applying to Georgia State University, which is pretty competitive. Anyone know averages for the school or if I should definitely retake this? Thanks!

Looking at your ranking in the program should give you an idea of what to think.

Nationally doesn't really matter much.

You are in the 99th percentile in your school. That means out of ALL the students who applied to your uni, you ranked the 99th!!! That is outstanding.

It also depends on your school.

My school only looks at your math and science scores. As long as you get passing in reading and english, they throw it out. So they will average out the points right in the math and science section and put you in a ranking of 48 students/seats available.

I think you're fine.

I don't know that I'm in the 99th percentile at my school... I think that's impossible, since my school's nursing program is highly competitive. Rather, I think I'm in the 99th percentile at the testing site. I didn't take the TEAS at my school. Thanks for your help, though! I'm still concerned that my science score is the lowest... I could take it again, but I'm swamped with A+P, Micro Lab, and Bio II this semester and don't really have the funds to afford it.

What did you study out of the teas manual or other study alternatives?

I bombed my TEAS test like 50 percentile in math and science. I am third in my class with a 97 average in my last semester in a highly competitive school. Nursing school is a whole different way of learning and the TEAS ment nothing!!!

looks good.

Kudos to you!!! How long did you study for the test. My school requires a proficient score of I believe 60%. I wouldn't retake it. You should find out if the program looks at your overall score or certain subjects. My school looks at the Math and English.

My school looked at pass/fail overall. If you passed, you could move on in the application process. Getting a higher score than others didn't neccesarily give you an advantage there, sounds like you need to find out from the program how they factor in your test score.

My scores were similar to yours. I was accepted to the two competitive programs to which I applied. Looks good to me.
