Well let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Austyn and I am 26. I have been in the medical field for about 4 years now. It all started when I got my EMT-B licence back in 2015? Needless to say, I still have my EMT, but I have decided to transition into Nursing. I have all my prerequisites completed, except for Micro (which I am taking this Summer at HCC online).
Lets talk about the TEAS, who else dreads it? Or is it just me? I have taken it a total of three times. My first score was 56.7. My second score was 64 and as of today (I took it this morning) a 74. I know Polk's min. score is a 70, but most of the students who get accepted make high 70's up into the 80's.
I have been looking for a thread for Polk State College Nursing Fall 2019. I have had no luck, so I guess I will create one in hopes that someone comes across this and we can all share our stories and talk about Nursing school.
After searching for a thread, I came across some other ones for the previous years and I saw they were comparing there scores for the point system Polk uses... I guess my score is a 107.5, not very high compared to theirs. They were talking about theirs being around 115-120. I know Polk is competitive, but I am worried I wont get accepted. Anyone else in my boat?
Thank you all for reading (If anyone even reads this...)
I went back and read some old threats here. Obviously, points to get in will change based on who applies that term, so can't go by previous terms 100%. Fall 2018, I saw someone with a score of 111 say they got in. For spring 2018 (which I've heard is a little easier to get into), people with 111 were also posting they got in and someone with a 109 was an alternate. The waiting game is the worst...
No hope for me. I checked for other semester usually 108 or 109.my teas is low and already took 3 times. 68, 72, 72
I highly recommend get the ati study package I got the book and two online practice tests. I just went through and studied the book and took ome practice test. It definitely gives you a feel as to what's on the teas and what to study

I got the Mometrix book and read the lessons, making sure to do all of the example problems Then I took all 3 practice exams once a day. I also took the free online practice test, just because it was free ??♀️. Then, I watched the free Mometrix videos on YouTube for the subjects thar I scored lowest on the practice tests. I was extremely confident about the test after doing these things.
