New TEAS V Science Section

aachavez · Oct 30, 2011

while prepping for TEAS V (science is my weakest subject, and of course the portion weighted heaviest on the test!!!) I found these Youtube videos, they explain sooo many of these topics in easy to understand terms while drawing it out. Balancing chemical reactions, atoms, electrons and neutrons and all that stuff, biology, cell structures and functions, I dont take the test for a few more days, but I"m feeling better after watching some of these!!!

I just took the teas v this past saturday, what i would say to study is like how two elements bond, like how u count the electrons in all the different shells, and how u can deduce what is going on by just looking at the two or three elements before and after the chemical equation, also know the dna and rna stuff backwards and forwards, they ask about an imaginary rna and dna strand and how it will bond, but its really complex, kinetic energy versus static very very well, carbon-12 and how all that crap works, ionization, ions, and on the english part, all the parts of speech, and all the clauses, etc, they mix them all up and ask u to edit it all, and style, i missed most of the style questions.

Does anyone know what the current National Mean scores are for the TEAS V, for each category?

The nursing school to which I am applying says that I must make at or above the Nat. Mean.

Reading: 69.7%

Math: 68%

Science: 51.9%

English/Language: 62.9%

These numbers are what they were back in August.

Thank you.

Btw, is this from an official source, like your own TEAS results printout?

So Technically, I do not have to do much better than these scores? I took the first practice test online with no studying just to see what i needed to study, and it said my individual total score was 78%, which I thought was bad. But now that I see the scores you gave me, they are lower than my scores for each categories (even though my scores seemed pretty low to me). Do you know what the national mean total score is and do they even go by that, or just the individual categories?

nicole8584 · Nov 27, 2011

Yes it was. I took it the very beginning of August, but they shouldn't change much.

Thank you. I posted another Question above, but forgot to quote you, so was not sure if you would get it.

The mean national total score was 63.3%. And whether your score is enough- it depends on how the individual school rates you. Like the school I applied to takes into account your actual score, not just that you passed a benchmark, like scoring above the national average. Out here in CA, the average scores of people who get accepted are about 88%.

Sorry. I am new to the whole world of forums.

nicole8584 · Nov 27, 2011

No worries :) I just didn't see that you posted again before I submitted my 1st answer.

Also, I think most schools look at your overall score as long as you passed all the sections. Then again I mostly just know about ones I have applied to.
