Stressing over TEAS!

Published

So I have the study guided and also purchased the A and B practice tests online from the ATI site. I did the both of the practice tests in the back of the study guide and I got mid to upper 90's on these tests. Now I've just completed the A and B first attempt and I got mid 70's.

The difficulty between the online in comparison to the book is night and day. With such different levels of difficulty, I am really starting to stress out and having a very difficult time gauging how successful I am going to be on the actual TEAS exam.

If anyone has completed all 3 of these (Study book/AandB/Actual exam) could you please chime in here and give me a little insight. I am really nervous and I need to get in the 90's for the program I am looking to get into.

Thank you

Hello.

The book was much easier than the online A/B. I had like 5 days to go when I took the online tests and it took the wind out of my sail. I think I scored in the 60's? Can't remember now. Point being I was 98th percentile on the actual TEAS. Your fine.

Really get your math down pact, like where you can speed through it and be confident with your answer. Girl I took it with had trouble in this section b/c she is OCD and wanted to do each problem twice.

When you go through the online test A and B don't look only at what you got right but look at the questions as in why isn't the other answers correct. That helps.

Your going to kill it. Best of luck!

I appreciate the confidence boost. Some of the questions on the online A and B exam aren't even in the book, possibly expected to have knowledge, I did the Teas A and B again and got High 80's. I'm considering purchasing the A and B for another 88 dollars again, I don't know. I have done online tests and seem to get high 90's on them. I just wanted to be the best prepared possible. I have the test on Friday, so grrr, out of all my tests I've taken in my school this is the one I've felt the worse about. I know this is going to change once I enter nursing school, and I can't even imagine taking the NCLEX.

I just took my TEAS V exam today as well. I got a 93.3%. I had the same issue with the online practice tests. I got an 82 and an 88, respectively. I cried after I got my scores on the practice tests. The actual exam was much easier and more like the paper tests in the back of the manual.
