I'm wondering did anybody get an invitation/declination email? I didn't get one
I received an invitation last semester, but declined it since I had already taken the TEAS. Since this isn't my first time applying, I was told they keep the teas on file. If you've submitted it to RCC previously they will have it and not send an invite. If you haven't taken it and didn't receive an invite don't be discouraged. Theres still a chance you can get one. Loma Linda also offers the TEAS every month just call make an apt but they charge $80. Good Luck! :)
Has anybody received anymore information about the TEAS test at RCC? I replayed excepting the invitation to take the test at RCC, but have not received any other info.

No, not yet. I was actually wondering the same thing this morning, but I looked at the original invitation email and we have until this Friday, November 3rd to accept/decline so I'm guessing we'll get an informational email next week. I'm trying hard to not be nervous, but I'm ready to get this test over with, haha!
It's going alright for me. If you haven't already, I highly recommend buying those practice test directly from ATI. What I did was take Exam A without doing any studying to see what my base score would be. I got an 87% which I was surprised at. It's good practice but the 3 page analysis they give you at the end is worth the money. It basically shows you which sections you should work at! Good luck!
I wish I would of known I should of confirmed it with Steve but I paid to have my ATI teas sent over twice. If I have to apply next time I'll call to see if they have it on file

Yes. I got it Friday afternoon. There's also a few other comments on here that say they received theirs on Friday too.
