Calipoopy, that would be great & very nice of you. Ill pm you. I've been studying my butt off with the ATI manual, McGraw Hill book & I even downloaded the McGraw Hill app on my phone. FYI for those of you thinking of doing that, the app has the same questions as the book so that stinks. If I had it to do over again Id just get the app since it keeps track of your progress electronically. Also it seems there's always one question in every math practice test I take so its overly redundant & pointless to work the problem out cuz you already know it!

Ok so the majority of the test is adding, subtracting, multiplying, & dividing decimals, fractions, area, volume. Bar graphs, word problems. Percentage questions. My issue with the teas study guide is questions like there's 457 students in a math class this year & there were 320 last year what is the percent increase? Not one question like that was on the test I took. But questions like Sally spent $22 on a pair of shoes that were 65% off. What was the original price of the shoes were on the test. And now Im studying the McGraw hills book & there's questions like mode median and average which I've never seen on the test. Both books have different styles that's for sure. The majority of the test is #'s & operations with I think 4 algebra & 4-6 measurement questions. I struggle with percentage questions & measurement questions. Things like there's 32 pink balls 27 green balls & 41 red balls out of 120 balls what percent would be purple balls? Granted these aren't the exact questions, just examples. The tests in the McGraw hill book are not horrible but I still keep missing about ten questions when in the teas guide I'd miss like 4-7. So I get the math for the most part, I just suck at taking the test!

Just wondering if anyone has any tips or advice. I took the TEAS the first time about three weeks ago & passed English, reading, & Science but failed the math section. I needed a 75 & got a 50. Then retook just the math & got a 70. So now Im studying the math more & retake it next week. I was so close this last time but Im freaking out, thinking I just won't be able to get passed the math. I studied from the ATI book & just got the McGraw Hills book this week. I guess I need to train myself to do the math problems quickly cuz I think I spend too much time on them then have to hurry on the last 3-5 questions. I do well on the algebra, wish there were more of those questions!

I got a 50% the first time as well. I just retook it today & got a 70%. I needed a 75% I also ran out of time at the end. I passed everything else the first time, I just can't get passed the stupid math! Anyway good luck!

I'm also in the process of trying to start core in Jan. I just took the TEAS Tuesday and need three gen Ed courses this fall. Good luck! Hopefully we'll start together!
