Thank you for the suggestion! Hows the school treating you? Ive already applied since 2016, I was missing my Teas score and i submitted that in August. So, I probably fall into the coming Cohort which is in November. My advisor is amazing, shes been working with me for a while. Shes said im competitive, but a boost to my Teas score would help. But, that thing is so frustrating and time consuming with work in the way its pretty difficult to focus, especially the fact that i work nights. Thank you for the reply :) shes suppose to contact me today ill ask her a few questions to see where im headed.

Hello fellow students and professionals. So, after trying 2 times for my Teas test i finally passed with a 70.7%. I thought it was going to be a bit easier from there on forth, but its actually much harder. In what sense? All the nursing schools here in California are so competitive. Ive applied at Western Governors University (yes i know their very competitive,due to their limited clinical sites) I have a 4.0 GPA but, after reading all these comments i am kinda afraid now. I thought i should reach out and ask if anybody is going there or has went there in the past. What was the lowest teas score they have accepted by far? What other schools can i apply for from California. Im in Los Angeles, my options arent broad so im kinda confused at this point on my next steps. I have all my pre reqs, im currently working in the medical field, i have 6 years of experience with patient care and so on and so forth. Please can someone briefly give me some advice. Thank you in advance!

What that was a boost of hope! Thank you sooo much! I am still studying, hopefully it pays of.

I completely understand Ken. Lmao it is frustrating, right when you feel like you have covered everything it slaps you in the butt and reminds you that you havent. 70 isnt bad :/. You should totally be able to get into a nursing school with that score.

Congrats! 82 is what my school is asking for admission. Yes i agree with the answers for the reading portion. There isnt a perfect answer and that confuses me the most. Their all so alike. I just need to stop letting myself get to deep into subjects and focus on what the book is asking me to know. Thank you!

Im sorry to hear that. But im sure youll do amazing the second time around. Yes! It is depressing, it kills me not knowing what to study. I just feel like i go way to deep into subjects, teaching myself unnecessary material. Ive noticed because i sit down to take the test thinking i know soo much but end up realizing that ive taught myself the total opposite of what i was really suppose to know. :/ I dont know i guess im super confused at this point.

Thank you! Ive tried everything. From studying the entire book, to studying online and flashcards. I am set for July so im going to try pushing myself as much as i can to study. Work and studying doesnt really go well together. But oh well.

Hello fellow nurses and students. I've been reading everybody's posts but haven't posted myself due to embarrassment. This is getting to me and i cant control my depression anymore and i thought maybe you ladies and gentlemen can help. So i have taken my teas test twice. First time was a major bummer, i ended up with a score of 52 after draining myself with studying. Second time i took it i ended up with a score of 58 which was even more depressing because i had invested so much time and effort into studying i really thought i deserved better. So my question is am i over studying? I am really confused on what to study i have seen the test yes. I do have an idea of whats on there but i still feel like i end up going too into depth with the information and it confuses me during the exam. Can anybody please give me any specifics? Cause lately i've noticed that i think about the exam so much that i cant sleep at nights. I keep reviewing my study notes in my head the whole night. I am scheduled to take the exam in July and i have started studying already. I think my weakest point is reading comp. The phrases and the choices it offers confuses the hell outta me. The answer you would think is right really isnt. Like the question about a lady disappearing in the middle of the night after an unknown object showing up in the sky, which was asked on test. It tells you to find a logical conclusion but mostly all of them make sense. The one that makes the most sense is not correct. So i dont know what to study anymore and im really falling to a whirlpool of depression with over studying and getting too into depth with everything. Can someone please help if they have recently taken the exam and passed, what did you really focus on and how in depth did you go? Please, please ,please. Thank you
