Reading Comprehension on the TEAS Question

2bnurseTV · Feb 17, 2010

yes, the questions are directly under the reading (on the same page) and they are really short and super easy imo. If I were you I would not stress this part at all. I got a 98% on the reading. The science is where I would suggest you focus.

I agree with the previous post. I took the test yesterday morning and I scored a 97.5% on the reading. It wasn't anything like what I studied for reading. They are very short passages (actually tiny paragraphs) and some aren't even regular paragraphs at all. I would say it focuses more on following directions than anything. There is no reason anyone shouldn't do well on that part. Science is where I'd focus..and also the English(verbal). Make sure you know proper sentence structure, etc. I was nervous about the vocab section on the English but nearly all of them offered good context clues to figure it out if you don't already know it. I got an 83.6% on the English and an 83.3% on the science. The science is very broad and general. There were questions about cloud structure, rock formations, tectonic plates, etc. Basic stuff that you would have learned early in science studies and not really healthcare. I got a 97.8% on the math with an overall score of 89.4%... study your weak area and also science!
