Riverside Community College fall 2014

Published

Just submitted my application for fall 2014 at RCC!! Waiting on receipt confirmation!

Does any one know what conversion we will need to know by memory if any? For example, cm to meters, grams to pounds, farenhiet to celsius or kelvin? Oh and any formulas we should know by memory? Like area, perimeter, density, volume and others! Also do we need to know the periodic table by heart?[/quote'] I would study them all. Start with the ones you know are in the study manual.

I haven't taken the teas yet but from what I read from other people you should know metric conversions like cm to m to mm etc...

And how to convert from degrees F to Celcius and probably celcius to kelvin

Know about density

You also need to know how to find perimeter and areas of squares rectangle and triangle

They give you a periodic table but u need to know how to read it and know what the elements in periods and columns have in common

Also memorize the formulas for kinetic energy and potential energy and heat of evaporation

Lol I know its a lot but I've researched other posts and his is what a lot of people said ...all of this info is in the ATI study guide .... I think if you study that front to back the test shuldnt be that hard

:-) teas invites shuld go out in next couple weeks I hope we all get invited (those who haven't taken it ) :)

Thanks mram34.

For conversion they will give you the conversion factor like 1in is 2.54cm (I memorized them for nothing). So you don't need to memorize them, you just need to know how to use the factor. The math section is very straight forward, if you know how to do everything in the ATI book you won't have any troubles with math, just be quick.

You also don't need to know the formulas for kinetic energy, potential energy ect., just know the general terms and know if it condensation or evaporation or kinetic or potential energy if they give you examples.

Know how to predict periodic trends (which element is more electronegative or more metallic).

Congrats jaderachel01, and welcome to the 90s boat :)

I want to be in the 90's boat soo bad lol

All I need is 90 on TEAS :unsure:

I should stay away from the mcgraw hill practice tests then ....they have all kinds of calculations in the science portion like acceleration ...momentum ....molarity ...

None of that is on the actual test ???

Sorry I ask a lot of questions lol

Lol i ask a lot of questions too but i think what mram34 is trying to say is that we dont need to memorize the fomulas for some, just the more simple ones i beleive. So we probably should still reveiew on how to set up the equations and practice solving the problems. Thats just what ive understood from these comments and some tips from a freind whom has also already taken the teas! She told me to know formulas such as perimeter, area, ect. She also mentioned knowing what atomic mass and atomic number equal.

No you don't need to know those formulas. You do need to know very basic formulas for math, like triangle, rectangle, square. The math section is very basic and it is 1:1 from the ATI book. The chemistry part is also very basic, you don't need to know how to calculate moles or something. The science section is very general as well just know the general concepts. Usually nobody should have a problem with the science section, especially after all the science pre-requ we had to take.

Yea I think I'm overloading my brain on complicated formulas we don't even need to know !!! I should just stick to the basics :-)

Thanks !!! I feel better now !!! :--)
