The ATI online practice tests are helpful and very similar to the actual exam. Also, the Mometrix and ATI books help to prepare. For co-req's, BIO 142 and BIO 150. Good luck!!

I have 3 that you can totally have, you'd just need to pick them up. I wrote a little bit in some but mostly just read them.

I didn't get an email so I guess that means I didn't get in. This was my second attempt. This is so discouraging and disappointing. ? My heart is so heavy. But I sincerely want to congratulate everyone that got in; you guys deserve it. Good luck! Do your absolute best!

Please don't give up. This was my third time trying. I know what you are feeling but you can press forward. If you have the classes then focus wholeheartedly on the TEAS. Start studying now. Reading was my struggle but I used so many resources. I used the resources from the college websites. I found this out from the tutor on the MEC campus. The lady that runs the center is on the 1st floor in the MEC building. (First hallway to the right when entering the building). You have to call and make an appt. She helped me a lot. I also had major test anxiety so I had to work on that as well. For english I used a website called grammerbook.com. I did those quizzes non stop. I also watched tons of youtube videos. Science was tough so know the anatomy but also the physiology( how things work). I think bulk points on the TEAS comes from those scientific reasoning questions. So know them like the back of your hand. I sub teach for elementary and nothing stuck until I had to review the SOL prep for 5th graders lol. So weird. So I then researched dependent and independent variables. For math, I used Brandon Craft on youtube also the mathtech channel. Its a guy with an Australian accent. He helped me so much with learning how to figure out fractions quickly without a bunch of steps. I naturally love math. So don't give up. Give yourself 24 hours to feel those feelings and then get determined. Good Luck.

My mother in law works in a hospital and knew a nurse that failed the NCLEX 8 times and passed on her 9th attempt. You can do this!

Thank you, for your kind words. Honestly, this just motivated me so much. I was feeling so down and I just felt that very disappointed in myself. I have faced so many failures in life so it's very hard to pick myself up and keep going. But you're right; I can't give up. This is my dream. And I will keep trying until I achieve it. Thank you so much for your encouragement and for taking the time to reply to me. I hope you all continue to achieve all your goals and dreams in life.
