I also just took the TEAS test and got an 84.7% overall. 91.5% in reading, 96.9% in math, 72.3% in science, 75% in english. The science portion was definitely harder than any study material I have used in the past 3 months. They definitely ask very detailed questions on the actual TEAS test. If you don't have a good foundation in science then I would most definitely concentrate on it particularly and study it as much as you can. There's also a certain way questions are asked on the test and there's a certain answer that is obviously wrong by just looking at it. I would keep taking practice tests and really pay attention to how they ask the question and learn how to spot a wrong answer. I'll give tips on the reading and math since those were my highest scores. My tip on the reading section is to ONLY look at what's in the passage given. NEVER apply your own knowledge to it. For example, it might ask "Who can score a point in a volleyball game?" A person who knows that game would say both sides can score but the passage says "Only the team serving can score." You might quickly choose the answer "both sides can score" because that's what you already know but you may not know that there are different ways to play the game. Just a heads up! My tip for math is to familiarize yourself with converting decimals and fractions. They ask a lot of real world problems like taking 50% off an item you want to buy then taking an additional 20% off. I'd practice a lot of it at the store with my calculator. I almost ran out of time on the math so for the last 10 questions, I would only use the calculator to find the answer. They might ask you to list the given fractions and decimals in order. Learn how to convert a fraction to a decimal because that's the easiest way to see where to place the number in order. Let me know if there's any other tip I can give! I hope this helps.

Hi, the TEAS V isn't too hard. I got an 84.7% which put me in the 90th percentile. I personally think that the hardest subject on it is Science. I have a pretty good background in all the subjects because I really paid attention and learned a lot from my college classes. If you didn't have a good foundation in one or some of the subjects then I would study hard using as many resources as you can afford. I bought the Pocket Prep app and I would answer questions every other day for 3 months. I also bought the Mometrix ATI TEAS test book which didn't cover enough detail in the science portion of the exam. If you're still in college, I would study from the A&P and chemistry textbook for the science part.
