hi

i am taking the teas test feb.25, 2008 at ivy tech.

does anyone have any advice for me?

~thanks~

No tips, just well wishes. Good luck. I'll let you know after Friday when I take mine. You have plenty of time to study and prepare, you should be fine.

at my ivy tech campus about 300 people apply and only the top 50 scores are admitted to the program. it sounds impossible to get in to. i have a gpa of 4.0 and i'm still way scared!

~thanks~

I took the TEAS on January 3rd. I would suggest getting the study guide and going through it. The test is pretty basic. I would suggest studying percentages, fractions and metric system. I think that the study guide (specially for the math) does a good job to prepare you for what to expect. Also I would suggest taking a practice exam online so that you have an idea of the set up of the test. You'll do just fine!

You have plenty of time to prepare.:specs: Hope this helps!

hi rn2b25,

thanks for the suggestions! can you tell me if you ran across any physics questions or a&p questions? i heard there are only a couple a&p questions on the test. that seems hard to believe because it's a entrance exam for nursing.

i took the teas yesterday. it wasn't so bad, though i won't get my results for a week since it was the pencil/paper version. i might change my mind! there were a couple physics and a&p questions on my particular test. i think there are several different versions of the exam. the questions that really stumped me were not in the prep guide and nothing i could have really studied for. it seems like the material is something you either know or don't. i didn't find the guide to be all that helpful, but it does give you a feel for the kinds of questions asked ... the style. there were a few questions that i just couldn't discern what the heck they were asking, and a graph that i didn't really understand. mostly, i worry that my haste might have cost me. i was so worried about not having enough time that i rushed. i had enough time to go back over each section but only for the questions i had tagged for the math. i didn't have enough time to go over everything and may have missed easy questions because i rushed.

good luck.

I took it passed everything else except for the math portion....I'm not that great at math to begin with so I have to take it again. I bought the study guide and took the practice test online. I have a tone of word problems on my test and of course I'm not good at those at all so I've been studying for it again hoping to do better this time.

I took the teas test last april... there were physics questions, but mind you I never took a day of a physics class in my life and I scored 100% on those questions. Really I wouldn't stress about it too much. I did terrible in high school (because I didn't care), and I scored in the top 90% of all the people applying for my school.

HI,

I took the TEAS test on January 15 and scored a 73. The math for me was the hardest I ran out of time. The English and Reading sections are fine. Good Luck

thanks for the advice! almost everyone has said that they ran out of time on the math section. did you think the math was difficult? how was science part?

:uhoh3: any physics? did you use the ati study manual to prepare?

thanks again

does anyone know if there are analogies, atonymes, or vocab. on the teas?

thanks so much

I took the TEAS test on Jan. 16 and I don't remember any antonyms on the test. The reading comprehension was very similar to that section in the ATI study guide, reading ads and maps and answering questions about what you've read. The English section was correcting sentences and I think there were a few "what does this word mean?" kind of questions.

I scored an 80% on the math section. I had enough time to finish it and even had some time to go back and look over my answers, there were just a few things on there that I didn't know how to do. A few ratio questions that I wasn't sure of and a few more metric conversion questions than I was expecting-be sure to study metric conversions, I remember at least 4 questions that concerned these.

The hardest part for me was the science section-scored a 73.3% on this. There were a few graphs and diagrams that didn't make a lot of sense to me and the questions they asked concerning these graphs were things that you either knew or you didn't-it didn't seem like you could pull the info off of the graph or diagram provided.

Overall, I scored a 88.8%. I was relieved to have it over with-that was a long test!
