Good luck to everyone taking the TEAS this week. I will be taking it on Thursday and I'm feeling pretty good and honestly, I just want to get it over with. I've taken both practice A and B on the TEAS website. Does anyone know if they will give formulas on the actual test? I noticed that in some situations, they'll give you formulas for the math part on the practice exams. Just wondering if its the same for the actual test.

On 10/26/17 I sent an email to Steven asking if he had received my invitation acceptance reply. He replayed a week later on 11/3/17, "Yes, thank you".
I'm assuming we'll get official instruction emails before the end of the week.
