I got my score and I got almost exactly what I expected- 90% in all categories but Math which I got a 60% in. To be fair, I finished about 63% of the problems so had I finished I would have actually one quite well in that category. Unfortunately, I get caught up in math double checking everything. Ugh! My pride has taken a beating but overall still got an 84% which isn't amazing but good enough (I hope) to get into WSU's nursing program.

Today I took the TEAS for the first time. I'm normally a stellar test taker but this test was so incredibly frustrating- especially the math portion. It's not that the math was difficult. It's just the time given and lack of calculator that was my undoing. I am good but incredibly slow at long division/multiplication etc. I can almost always get the right answer given time but with that clock ticking away the minutes I found only enough time to do about 60% of the questions. I'm feeling so discouraged. Even if I do well on the rest of the exam (I feel like I did close to 90% on the rest), the math is going to tank my score. I guess I'm just looking for encouragement and to hear others pitfalls/triumphs on this test.
