Any updates? I applied but haven't heard anything either. Fingers crossed!

"Must be shift change"

Hi!!! 5 weeks should be plenty of time to study especially since you have already had one attempt and know what to expect. I took the teas v in July for the first time and scored a 93. Here are a few things I did... 1. Bought the teas v study guide with the online practice tests. I think this is the best thing I did! In my opinion the questions on the test were based off most of the info in the study guide!!! I covered everything in the study guide after finding my weak points. 2. Before even looking at the study guide I took the 1st online practice test to find my weak areas. At the end of the practice test there is a list of things that you should concentrate on based on questions you missed during the practice test. Once I had these I began to concentrate on those specific areas using the study guide. My weak areas were science and math so I spent a couple of weeks every day working on reviewing math and science. If I couldn't figure out certain topics using the study guide (ie the periodic table) then I used the Internet or old text books to dive deeper until I felt very comfortable. 3. After studying for approx. 2 weeks I took the second practice test and again started to review the areas where I was weak. During these 2 weeks I also reviewed my stronger areas. 4. The last week I took the 1st and 2nd practice test again and began timing myself so I got a feel for how long I had per question. I also took the written practice exams in the back of the study guide. Just a side note when I took the practice exams I always treated them as if I was taking the real exam. I will also say there are a bunch of people on you tube who have posted videos on how to study. I watched a few of these to get some of the above ideas. :) Good luck to you!!!!!

I took the TEAS on July 12 and felt very prepared after studying for about a month using the ATI book and practice tests. I think I paid 120 for the book and two online practice tests. You can take the online tests twice. When I started studying I took the first practice test to see what i really needed to concentrate on. At the end of the practice test you get a list of areas that you need to study and prepare for. Once I had that I started to really concentrate on those areas. Mine were math and science so I went through those sections in the study guide several times and really understood those areas. Two weeks before the test I started to go over the other two areas and once I looked over those I took the second practice test. For the last week I continued to review where I was weak on the second practice test and then just kept reviewing the other two areas as well. I ended up scoring a 93 which was about 5 points higher then my best score on the practice exams. I also took the practice exams a second time to work on timing. Good luck and I'm sure you'll do great!
