TEAS questions

[Lilac]

Hi All,

I'm new here. I'm currently a pre-nursing student in Indiana.

I found you all because I did exactly what I swore I wasn't going to do, lol. I opened my TEAS prep manual before I finished studying for this semester's finals and FREAKED.

So exactly how extensive is the physics and chemistry on the test? Can I get by with some serious study this summer, or should I take some intro classes? Dummy me, I took a whole year of biology in high school, instead of one semester of biology and one of chemistry like everyone else. And that was twenty years ago!

I am one exam done from completing A&P I, and an two assignments and an exam for Intermediate Algebra. We had one chapter on cell chemistry in A&P I, and there was a little chemistry in the chapter on the nervous system.

I have also taken medical terminology and an abbreviated anatomy course in the past.That and a seventh grade accelerated chemistry course I took many moons ago is the extent of my exposure to chemistry. I have had very little exposure to physics.

If I want to be considered for 2006, I have to have my TEAS completed by December of 2005. I will have all of my required gen eds done by spring of 2006.I have two chances to take the test. Should I study the guide and chance it this summer? My advisor really recommends that I take the test between June and September so I can retest if I need to.

The average score for those who make it into the nursing program at this school is 83. A science score of 60% is a must to make it in the program.I'm not too worried about the reading and comprehension courses. That seems to be my strongest area.

Did any of you find any other sources helpful besides the pre-test study manual?

This is a great site, by the way:) I look forward to getting to know everyone here.

Hi there,

Actually, I ended up not taking the TEAS, as the RN program was full with a waiting list, so I applied to the LPN program and got in. If I were you, I would buy the study guide for the TEAS. It's pretty comprehensive. If you are currently a student, you could check with your college to see if there is free tutoring available. Most colleges have it for students.

If don't score well on the TEAS, try taking some math and science refresher courses, then take it again.

Good Luck! You CAN do it with enough drive. I was bad at math all the way from sixth grade until my senior year, but I persisted in taking math classes, and finally it stared making sense. My sixth grade teacher told me I would NEVER learn algebra. Well, she was wrong. I not only learned it, I passed it with A's.

i am new to the board and i suck so bad in math i am as slow as molasses but i am determined and positive just tell me what anyone can remember about the math and science section and i will greatly appreciate it

The math section and all other sections of the TEAS are timed. There is some algebra, percentages, fractions, word problems, graphs. Know how to find the hypotenuse of a triangle, ratio proportion, and metric conversions. My suggestion would be to study the manual and really practice those math problems if you are generally slow in math. We had maybe a little over a minute per question. Practice, practice and practice some more. As far as science is concerned, there is physics, chem, bio, and scientific reasoning. Study the manual!!! What helped me to ease anxiety was purchasing the practice assessment from the ATI website. You can take it twice, (same exact test), but it was the same exact format (not questions) for the exam. The practice assessment was 100 questions and the actual exam is 170 questions. The one thing I do advise is to not skip studying for english. It has the most questions in the whole exam. I studied so much for science thinking that I knew english already and english is what brought my composite score down. The english is kinda tricky, just make sure you go over it. You'll be fine:specs: When you do the math practice assessment, time your self, 45 questions in about 50 mins. Anything else you want to know just ask.....

I recommend ATI, also.
