Hello everyone,
I am planning to take the TEAS V in a month from now. I am not sure what to expect. Can you all guide me please?
What study material should I use?
Should I focus on anything particular?
Also the program that I am applying to only wants scores for math and English, so should I just focus on that?
Lastly, are we allowed to use calculators?
Thank you in advance.
Afreen.

I bought the ASI TEAS study guide from the website and I can tell you the questions are identical the the ones you will see on the test (at least for me). If you plan on applying for multiple schools then I would study everything to make sure you get the highest score possible because most schools look at your first score. If you know for sure you will be attending that school then I would only study the parts they will look at. Also, no calculators are allowed you are given scratch paper.
Lvn1973 Thank you so much! Yes I am applying to two programs only. One does not need the test and the other only wants an 80% on the English and the Math. Also, do you know if we have to send all the scores? I would like to take the test twice before submitting.

Hi afreen246
I also bought the ATI study guide and I agree with LVN1973 the questions are identical. I also recommend purchasing the ATI practice test it gives you a good idea of how well you'll do on the actual test. The practice exams are a bit harder than the actual test so you may score lower on the practice exams than you would on the actual test.
If your school only requires scores for two portions on the test I would definitely focus on those areas while studying but I would also place a lot of focus on the areas you are weak in. I'm not sure about your program but when I applied to my program I was required to send in test scores for all TEAS V test I had taken.
Glamcakes thank you so much for the reply. I will definitely order the materials mentioned in both comments. I am not so sure about the grades so I will call the respective programs and find out. I was thinking of applying to Pace and Downstate.
You know what I misread your question I'm so sorry. All of the scores will automatically go to your school when you send your TEAS transcripts. Calculators are not allowed but you are provided with scratch paper. Good luck to you!
