Hey everyone! Before I took the TEAS 6, I searched everywhere for information from people that have already taken it and there wasn't much out there. Because of this, I vowed to come back on here and post some advice / info on the test. I took the TEAS 6 on November 30th, 2016. Here is my grade breakdown: Individual Overall Score: 89.3% Reading: 91.5% Math: 96.9% Science: 83.0% English: 83.3% My rank level was - Advanced. The following information was included with my grade - Here's how ATI ranks you with a summary in my own words: Developmental: 0-40.7% - Very low level of overall preparedness, need to study more. Basic: 41.3%-58.0% - Low level of preparedness, need a little bit more study. Proficient: 58.7-77.3% - Moderate level of preparedness, additional preparation of some of the objectives assessed. Advanced: 78.0-90.0% - High level of preparedness, not likely required to prepare more for objectives assessed. Exemplary: 90.7-100.0% - Very high level of preparedness, no additional preparation needed. National Means / Highest National Personal Record TO DATE (12/01/16) Overall: 65.6% / 98% Reading: 72.4% / 95% Math: 68.6% / 99% Science: 57.2% / 95% English: 66.3% / 90% Here's how I studied for it: TEAS 5 ATI study book, practice tests in the book and 2 practice tests I bought online; TEAS 6 Mometrix study book and practice tests in the book; TEAS Mastery iphone app - full paid version TEAS Pocket Prep iphone app - full paid version My A&P notes from classes & my college chem notes Free ATI TEAS 6 Practice Test - Best TEAS Test Prep! http://www.armandoh.org - THIS GUY IS AWESOME! If you are a visual learner, this is a must! I also googled a lot of practice tests and took anything I could find online. Basically, I gathered all my information from the sources above and put together my own 30 page (font 8!) study guide. I can honestly say that the actual test wasn't nearly as hard as the practice tests I took and it is written differently than the version 5 test. I studied for about a month, took a break for about a month to focus on school and life and then studied for a solid 2 weeks straight right before taking it. The day before the test, the very first thing I did was watch the movie "The Secret." Go ahead and laugh, but I like to watch it whenever I have something big happening. I wanted to source a good grade after all my hard work. Afterwards, I spent the whole day watching videos from http://www.armandoh.org....Science was always my weakest point so that is what I focused on. I probably studied for around 10 hours that day. Then I shut my brain off, took a bath and went to bed at a decent hour. I got up the next day, ate a great, clean breakfast, took a nice shower and did a quick hour review. I was in a great mood, felt rested, full but not stuffed or groggy and prepared. Then I took the test at 1:00 that afternoon. It took ATI 36 hours to send me my grade - it was grueling!! I wish you all luck on the test. You can do it! Remember why you are taking it in the first place - to become a nurse to help people and make a difference in this world - with that mindset, nothing can stand in your way, not even this test. Sarah
