I am 49 and am just finishing my pre-reqs for ADN in S. Carolina. Kept a 3.8 gpa so I am pleased that my brain still works! Remember, our maturity is an advantage in time management, lack of panic, focus, etc. Hang tough! RICH

hi Ihkg74; No I did not purchase the exams. I did use the workwbook. It was of moderate help. In the science section, a number of the problems were more difficult than what the workbook provided, especially the chemistry. What I did do was take the book practice exam and any answer I got wrong, I looked up that subject in Khan Academy and reviewed it. Good luck. SCMail

I took them back to back in two summer school sessions and did well. It does help if you don't leave too much time between the two....primarily in connecting the basic discussion of electrical potential in the cell and chemical activity with pumps. You see that in API and it pops up againa and again in APII. A summer off won't be that big a deal....waiting a full year would be more challenging. As an aside, the most important thing in APII is to get the hormones down cold. You normally study hormones first and then they pop up again and again as you go through each body system. Good luck!

Hi all, I am a student at a tech college in S. Carolina. I just finished taking the TEAS V and did fairly well; 88 overall, over 83 in each of the four disciplines. The advice on this forum is very good and the news about the science portion being tough is spot on. It is quite challenging and taking it "cold" will result in less than optimal results. I am back in school after getting a BS in liberal arts 25 years ago. I knew the science (especially chem) would be rough; here is what I found that helped. There is a web site called Kahn Academy.....just google it. It has over a thousand short u-tube videos that this incredible genius has done. Most of them are on various science and math. They are phenomenal. They are totally free to use and I have picked up no viruses from the site. I used it to review for basic math and really gear up for Bio and Chem.....the series on basic chemistry saved me. You may find it very useful. I know I did. Best regards, SCMail.
