i didnt get invited to the TEAs test that is such a bad sign to me...super discouraging :'(
I agree with soon2b-RN... don't get discouraged. There is a possibility some of those who were invited will decline the invitation if they have already taken the test or will take it elsewhere. If so, they will invite those next on the list of applicants. I know the invitation is extended to those with the highest science GPA (above 3.0) so if yours is up there, you may still have a chance. And have a backup date and location to take it just in case. Best of luck!
I received an invite too! It is a great sign to get an invite â˜ºï¸ But don't be discouraged if you didn't get one! They will send out another email after November 3rd for more people to fill the spots that we declined. Good luck to everyone!
I've been studying old A&P notes, Khan Academy videos on you tube, ATI TEAS Secrets by Mometrix, and I'm planning on purchasing the practice tests from the ATI website.
There's a forum on this same website that gives good advise on what to study. Here's the link, I hope it works:
