  1. New TEAS V Science Section

    Yes, you can use the remaining time to recheck your answers. Then, when you are done, you press the continue button. At this point you are at an "in-between page", where you cannot go back, and cannot see your first questions for the next section. ...
  2. Freshman male student unable to enroll in nursing program

    I would check some other schools websites. From my experience, acceptance into the nursing program in your freshman year is not the rule. Most schools that I've researched require you to complete a set of prerequisites before applying to the nursin...
  3. Just Took The dreaded TEAS test

    (Trying not to be critical)... The original poster is attempting to do MUCH better on this test than you. A 90% overall score is in the 99th percentile. This is hard - you can miss about 1-2 questions per section at most. I don't even know what s...
  4. Just took the HESI!!

    Congrats! I took the TEAS a few weeks back and felt equally relieved. I'm sure the specifics you shared will help a lot of people. :)
  5. Those who have taken TEAS V?

    I had that on my test as well, and had no idea what to do with it (Haven't taken the bio classes yet). Spent the last 5 minutes of the test period analyzing the chart vs the answers and came up with a guess. I either got it right, or it is one of ...
  6. Those who have taken TEAS V?

    It's pretty hard to study for the spelling part - trying to cram 300 commonly misspelled words in a short period of time is just going to burn said time. My advise for that part is to quickly write down the given word before you really have a chanc...
  7. New TEAS V Science Section

    You'll get a ton of info lurking the existing TEAS threads here. However, I agree that the best way to really know what you're up against is to take one of the practice tests before you start studying random material. I didn't see it written anywh...
  8. McGraw Hill vs ATI?! HELP!

    I used both books to study. The ATI book's sample tests are more indicative of the test questions, but the McGraw Hill book has more thorough information for science. I would use the McGraw Hill book for the science and math study if needed. Best...
  9. How much time did you take to study for the TEAS?

    I'm not sure if this will come up in the science or math portions of these tests. It may, because I did see some statistics type questions. When you report your score as a ratio, you should report (number correct)/(total number of questions). Not...
  10. New TEAS V Science Section

    You got the broken book! I would ask ATI to send you a new one. #6 is A, according to my answers on page 277. #12 is C. In fact, under the reasoning for #12, it mentions that option A is the topic sentence. Good luck!
  11. New TEAS V Science Section

    Here are the sections I missed from the Science part. Gives you a few points to study: Describe the functions of the digestive system. p129-130 Describe the functions of the respiratory system. p127 Apply Mendrel's laws of genetics and the Punnet...
  12. New TEAS V Science Section

    I googled around too. I believe the answer in my book is correct, but the information is so new it is not yet completely understood. Research is still being conducted in this area. Don't let it bog you down. You probably won't have a single questi...
  13. How did you do it?

    I believe it is hard to find a job without the BSN degree. I'm applying to two schools - one of which will require me to get my ASN, then bridge to BSN. I do know that others in the program have had job offers by the time they finished their ASN. ...
  14. I'm also an older returning student (43). I'm only taking one "hard" class at a time, but am carrying a full load otherwise. For instance, this semester I am taking Chem 1, intro to Sociology, and Human Growth and Development. Next semester I take...
  15. New TEAS V Science Section

    Oh that is strange. I'm on the same page (230). For that pair of questions, the book mysteriously does not give any explanation for the answers, just says 1. True, and 2. An embryo is an animal or plant in the early stages of development after fert...
  16. How did you do it?

    I see that UNC does have part time options in their RN to MSN bridge. Seems that they aren't offering the RN to BSN bridge currently though. I researched Duke in the past, and recall that their program was accelerated full time. I bet it is a won...
  17. New TEAS V Science Section

    I thought the answer said that it could happen in adults. I was actually surprised, as I hadn't learned this yet. I'll look it up again. I wish the sample questions and answers were a bit closer together - the book seems rough to navigate. [edit] ...
  18. How did you do it?

    Your question may be better asked of current nursing students as opposed to pre-nursing students. I've had the opportunity to speak with a few nursing students at my school who are juggling families though, and will share what I have learned. Nursin...
  19. New TEAS V Science Section

    Woops, I type too slow apparently.
  20. New TEAS V Science Section

    Those national mean numbers were from my test, taken on November 8th. Here's how I learned the chemistry question: As you progress down the periodic table, more "shells" of electrons are added (increasing size). Electronegativity, on the other hand...
  21. New TEAS V Science Section

    Updated National Mean scores from early November (Seem to have gone up a bit): Reading -70.5% Math -69.0% Science -53.6% English -63.8% Overall National Mean - 64.3%
  22. The question was not out of line. I wondered the same thing when I began my trek. Over the years, there have been times when nursing students were offered very attractive deals. I remember the same being true for students studying to be elementar...
  23. ATI TEAS V Study Guide Bundle - worth it?

    I used both, and agree that they are both helpful. The McGraw Hill guide has more information, especially in the science section. But the test questions are not very similar to the test you will have to take. For the money, I found the two practic...
  24. Community college before University BSN?

    The nursing schools in my area have very specific requirements. Your community college counselor will not know as much about the requirements as the university you plan to transfer to. It is very common to take pre-req classes at a community colle...
  25. Should I Take Chemistry?

    At my school, the fundamentals chemistry class seems highly geared towards nursing students. Almost daily, there is an example that applies to nursing. One semester is all you need to do well on the teas. If I hadn't already taken a Physics sequen...
