Hey there, lisamarkham92!

I wouldn't worry so much about it. I took two TEAS practice tests within the month before my test and got in the 70ish range on both of them. When I actually took the exam, though, I scored a 91%, which is in the 99th percentile. I thought the actual exam was easier than the practice test.

My advice: Don't freak out. Look over your exam, see in which areas you were weakest, and focus on improving them. You have plenty of time. If you haven't done so already, make sure you get the ATI workbook and practice out of that. I found it really helpful. Find a tutor to help you out if you need one. Make sure you are proficient in doing simple math quickly without a calculator. And when you are taking the exam, don't panic. It will waste your time and fluster you and probably affect your grade. Take a deep breath and just do it!

Best of luck! :)

Im also freaking out. I'm set to take TEAS in 4 weeks and scored 59% in both ATI test A and B. that was before i started studying just last week. since then i have been studying both ATI study guide, made some flash cards and also ordered a new book off amazon which is helping me more to comprehend each section its called Mometrics (secrets). has 3 full practice tests with answers. honestly just doing the practice tests in this book has made me more confident. answers for each question is in detail so that you can understand the concept behind the question. i highly recommend it :)
