zilamakus, If UT Tyler does not use points for admission, then what do you think that they go by then? Why even have the TEAS or GPA part of a scoring system to begin with? This doesn't make any...

Rosewater, I have zero doubt that you will do very very well in the math next time. You are clearly very intelligent and you just got burned by the time-factor. Spend time focusing more on the math...

Rosewater, I forgot to account for the fact that four questions are not graded. But we have no idea which questions these were so it is difficult to guess here. At worst case, you answered correctly...
LoyalWeim replied to Future Nurse's Wife's topic in TEAS Exam Help
Rosewater, Another thing... how come you did not at least just guess on those 7 questions? Hypothetically, you have about a 25% chance of guessing correctly for each question. This means that you...

Rosewater, Wow, you really did great on your exam! You are correct. It seems that you scored approximately 25/34 correct on the math section. Given that you did not answer 7 questions, this means...

montegina10, Don't go into the exam thinking you are going to bomb it because you'll just psych yourself out. I think that if you do more reading on this website regarding the TEAS, you will find...

meowmeownrse, I think most people mean random as in amongst the possible material in the ATI study manual. You might get 8 A&P questions or 4. You might get 6 questions on cell biology while...

LoyalWeim replied to javachick78's topic in TEAS Exam Help
javachick, You did not mention the ATI practice exams. In my opinion, they were in the same "class" as the McGraw-Hill. Because of this, I was severely shocked at how difficult the science was on...

Hi Jessica92, I believe the questions that you have vary based on the testing site. I do not think they all do it the same. The one at UT Tyler allows breaks but only between sections. I took a...
