   AkAtHrt: I didn't study for the TEAS. I took it cold. I just walked in to take it after a final this summer, after nearly forgetting it was the day to take it! However, I understand that the new book to study from is Version 5. Good luck with t...

    InspiredRN10: The TEAS is an appitude test that depends on info you've experienced or picked up on in life, and you really shouldn't be able to study for it, but it helps to get a "feel" for the test. I took it "blind", and almost forgot to take it...
