I made an account just to respond! IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A REAL PERSON'S REVIEW OF ADKIN'S ACADEMY FOR THE TEAS, I can help! I googled everywhere, searched far and wide for an actual review. Everything just said 5 stars, great program, etc. There was no raving or celebrating for that high price point.. That should have been the first sign. I sat through classes from 3pm - 9pm (or later) twice a week for months. I did learn some basic things, but good lord is it repetitive. This class is structured like this: One section per class, such as Wednesday Math, Sunday Reading. The next Wednesday is Science part A, the next Sunday is Science part B. The following week would be Wednesday English, and Sunday would be full comprehensive review. Sounds very thorough, right? Wrong. "Dr." Adkins creates these exams himself and every subject class is exactly the same. He decides what to make the questions about- and he had no idea what he's talking about past what he wrote into the questions. This is made clear when you call him outside of class for help. I reached out for math support, and he was very condescending the whole time. I explained math is my weak spot and a source of panic for me. He told me that was ridiculous and just to get on with it. I asked for his help for some problems out of the Mometrix practice test (I had the explanations in front of me, but I was curious if he would be able to help me anyways). He wasn't able to. He was getting many answers wrong himself. The worst part came when I looked him up. He is not a medical doctor. The students all call him Dr. Adkins, and he continues on as if he has earned some kind of medical education. He has his masters in business administration. He is a business man and he is capitalizing on nervous nursing students who are DESPERATE for that perfect TEAS score. I'm so sorry if you've paid for the class. I did really well in his class, and honestly I thought I was going to do well on the TEAS! It wasn't until I took a few other practice tests and didn't do so hot that I realized I wasted valuable time... Buy smart prep and take it section by section. Buy mometrix. Hell, do both and you'd still save the money from going to this pseudo TEAS "teacher". My biggest regret was recommending this to a friend and having us both sit through these boring and sometimes shocking classes. He teaches these classes from his home- you can hear his kids screaming in the background. Don't dare ask a question he will make you feel stupid. I've seen countless students ask a valid question where he responds with, "This is why the national average is a 64." Or something like that. He makes the test sound IMPOSSIBLE. Like he is some amazing genius who is your only hope for passing. He is a businessman. He is an awful teacher. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR -find the facebook group ATI TEAS 6 Test - Study Group there are so many amazing FREE resources. Thanks go to my father for shelling out the money for this, ensuring me that there's a chance it might be good enough for the price tag. I'm sorry dad! :( I hope I do well despite this setback- TEAS in a week and a half!
