Streamline2010's post in TEAS vs. TABE / NLN PAX??? was marked as the answerHey. Nori. I took a TABE for worker retraining eligibility, another version of TABE for LPN, and also took PAX and HESI for RN admissions. Another LPN scvhool here uses Wrok Keys, and I don't know wth is on it, lol.
TABE reading and math are straight out of the GED review books. Especially the math. Lots of annoying hand calculations on those tests.
For that LPN exam, there were lots of biology disease / general health / medical condition questions that I relied on my college microbiology to answer. I never had a general biology course.
If you want a general test prep book, I'd say buy the HESI guide because I think it has the hardest questions plus it covers all the bases in one book. See my post that I quoted below for ISBN numbers to order a book. I posted all of that in another thread and I just copy/pasted here.
The TEAS, the HESI, and the PAX are all much more rigouous in science than the LPN's exams. See the books & study guides that I listed below. I think the language skills stuff is pretty equivalent on all of them, except maybe the passages you read for the HESI especially are college level reading skills.
The free web site http://www.testprepreview.com/teas_practice.htm is a great resource for the typical questions that all of those tests ask. Covers all the sections.
Best of luck! :)
