I took the TABE tonight. I have finals in 5 classes this week but after that I am going to study for the TEAS. A bit terrified. I am not going to rush into getting all the shots and such until I see my results from the TEAS. Good luck and see ya at the info session!

I took the tabe and passed now I'm also studying for the teas :) I'm waiting on the shots also.

I didn't understand the scoring on the TABE. I got 12.9 on all the sections and they said it was passing but I wish I understood what that score actually meant. I found it funny that I got that score on every section too. Random. Make sure to come back and tell me how you did on the TEAS. I have a final every day except Thursday this week (including saturday ) but as I said I will start TEAS prep after that b/c I get a few weeks off till Spring semester starts.

Are you doing LPN to get a spot in SPC RN section and if so do you have any RN pre-reqs like AP I & II or microbiology?

12.9 is great I made the same,it means that's you passed with the highest score you can get on a tabe test.I've been studying the ati book and Mcgraw hill book and the practice test are pretty ruff.ill keep you updated.

I have a link to a teas study guide from mcgraw its a few hundred pages through Adobe but it looks a little older. I saw a version V study manula on craigslist but they want $50 for it and its only $44 online. I should prob order one. I have no idea what is even on this test. is it nurse like questions or like a standardized test?

erica1223 · Dec 6, 2011

Standerd,but the science is pretty intense I have a ati book I bought off craigslist people want to much.

Have you taken the test yet?

misstee0784 · Jan 18, 2012

I have not taken the TEAS as of yet. This semester is going to kill me so I think I am going to forgo LPN application for now and go for the next offering. I, stupidly, thought the classes I signed up for this semester were busy work classes and to my surprise busy work to the 5th power. I have to do 16 hours of community service for one class. Not even sure where I am going to find time for that when I have to do 16 for work as well.

Good luck and please keep me posted on your application progress! I am sure I will be curious as to your exp with the whole process.

I am currently in the online program and so far like many of my classmates are very unimpressed with the program. If you decide to go this route be prepared to do 95% of everything on your own! The instructors are busy...taking classes, teaching other classes etc. There are very few lectures....there is chaos on a major level!!! Clinical dates and times are not what you are told upfront because they say the cannot guarantee the schedule...At our last clinical at the va our instructor never showed up after it was canceled for the prior class as well! It is now time to pay tuition again and I am seriously considering transferring to Galen or anywhere professional even if I have to take a student loan. The thought is depressing me and I am not a very emotional person. If you have the money go somewhere else because you are getting what you are paying for!
