Retake TEAS results, thoughts & worries

[wishNhopeNdreamN]

So, I just got home from taking the TEAS again. I am fairly happy with the results. I got an 81 the first time, and I scored an 87 this time. I figured out that I answered 10 more questions right overall. So, that is great.

I improved my science overall score but stayed the same on chemical science and physical science. (bummer) which were really low. Luckily, all the other categories I raised except for human body science which I got a 100 on both times.

I hope it is enough, but when I see those numbers from others that are in the 90's I really wonder if my 87 will be enough. I have all A's on my reqs so far and a current

A in ANP 102. So even if I finish with an A I am not confident I will get in with my TEAS score.

I'm really irritatied with myself about the spelling. I consider myself a great spelller but, I didn't do that well on the test with it. Not horrible, I just figured I would get a 100 on that portion.

Like everyone else on this board, I really want this bad. I need to take up meditation, because I'm really stressed.

I can't retake again because even though my school allows a third time, my deadline is April 1st and we have to wait 30 days in between tests.

I feel like I should be celebrating because I have reached a milestone that seemed so far away, now that it's here I'm so depressed.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I would love to hear from those who got in their program with less than 90 on their TEAS. Anyone?

WishNHopeN DreamN, an 87 on your TEAS and a 4.0 in your prereqs is excellent! Everything just depends on what your particular school looks for and how stiff the competition is, you are probably right up there! o you know that past years admission pool statistics? Some school even post them and you can find the minimum cut score or avg GPA/test results.

I know it is hard not to be worried when so much is riding on admission, but it sounds like you have done everything in your power to boost your application by getting good grades and doing well on your TEAS. 87 is NOT bad score! I am not sure how that ranks nationally, but I bet your performance was right up there near the top 10%. In that respect, you scored better than 90% of the people who took the test. Pat yourself on the back rather than kick yourself! You did AWESOME! Good job. Nothing you can do now but wait and see.

Hang in there!
