Studying for Teas V Test

My Teas V Test is not until March. I have been reading through my ATI Study Manuel but decided its time to "buckle down" and really start learning what I am reading. It doesn't seem to be sinking in as I read paragraph for paragraph. What I did was at each set of practice problems I wrote the answers thinking this would be easier to learn what I'm reading rather than try and answer each question, probably answer wrong or have no idea what the answer is and have to scroll back to find the right answer thus just getting everything mixed up. My question is if I concentrate on the questions/answers on the practice problems where I have the correct answers written will this be enough to help me learn what I need to know wen I take the test? I hope I'm understood what I'm trying to type out here, I am starting to get nervous that its not sinking in and I'm afraid of what my test results will end up being.

    I too am using the ATI study guide - in addition to any other practice exam book I can get my hands on. I'm finding it most helpful to watch some reliable videos (e.g., Khan Academy, Bozeman Science) on each topic as I move through the books. Hearing the information with a somewhat less formal delivery is helping everything to "sink in." Take notes. It helps the information to stick.

    Also - of all the books I've been using (aside from ATI), I recommend Cracking the Nursing School Entrance Exams by The Princeton Review. It's not TEAS-specific, but it covers the entire span of test topics. I find the science section to be especially helpful because it provides the information in creative and sometimes humorous ways - AND it's got a lot of "memory tips" on a whole variety of terms and concepts.

    I spent most of today reading through Science in my ATI Study Guide with periodic breaks to give my brain a rest. It seems so hard. Today was the first time I actually had a doubt I can do this.

    Focusing only on the questions won't give you enough content. You really need to go through the paragraphs and get the content down.

    Something that really helped me was marking the pages with little sticky tabs where I needed to review (because there was stuff in there that I didn't, and I didn't want to waste my time on those). Then I went back and studied each of those sections until I had it down. It worked really well for me.

    I'm thinking since this is my first time through the ATI Study Guide everything just seems too hard, Hopefully when I finish reading through the Study Guide and start reading it over again reading paragraph by paragraph things will start to appear less complicated. Even if I end up reading the entire book 5 times cover to cover something has got to stick. Thankfully I have time before the test and if this is what needs to be done then so be it. Yesterday I actually had a bit of doubt on myself but today I got up, started reading and I feel differently. I want to do this. I want to become a Nurse.
