Studying for the TEAS Test

SpssSpss · Jan 15, 2014

It's goin'! Tonight I'll be studying "Davis's Basic Math Review for Nurses," amazing book! :) I've been studying a couple weeks now. How often do you study? What are you covering right now?

I'm studying as well. I have a headache but for good cause. My husband is deployed and I stay home with my 2 year old daughter. I try to squeeze in as much studying as I can. But when my very active, wild and crazy 9 year old son gets home its quite difficult.

Wow!! That's a lot of studying!! The Teas really isn't that hard. I have taken some practice tests and there is nothing harder than basic Algebra in the math section, science was a bit tougher with some chemistry, and the reading and vocabulary were a breeze. I will be taking mine at the end of the month. I am applying to the RN program for Fall 2014. I was told anywhere from 80-85 is really good.

Hey,

I heard that the McGraw Hills 5 teas practice test is a good one! I need to get a hold of it!

My TEAS exam in next Tuesday (the 21st)! :nailbiting: I have been studying/reviewing off and on for a couple weeks but not very seriously since I'm also running around preparing my applications! I actually went to the library and borrowed bunch of high school SAT subject books but the only book I've only been using the McGraw Hill 5 TEAS Practice book, it's a great book!! Other than that, anything topics I don't remember/understand I find it on YouTube. :up:

Don't overstudy!! What are you doing with all of this?

I really liked the ATI TEAS V study manual. I got a 96% with it!

Sorry, but I've never been taught to NOT overstudy. Everybody is different. I agree that there can be too much information to plow through, but your score and your study habits are not indicative for the rest of the world. I agree to stick with the ATI manual, but also, folks need to know where their weaknesses are and when or where they need additional help. I got a tutor to help me through some 5th grade math and I'm sure that other folks with need help with other topics. Don't create rules for others based on your experiences.

I agree with you. Everyone has to do what's best for them. Not everyone learns at the same pace. Someone people can study a day, another's, a week and so forth. Me personally, I must spend a lot of time studying. I would rather be over prepared than under prepared any day!
