TABE and TEAS, scores? retakes?

Published

I' am planning on attending Atlantic Tech for their LPN Program. I have taken the TABE and passed :D , but my friend didn't :cry: . She is told that she might have to take a VPI Course (remedial?!) .. Which prompt these questions:

1. How many times are you able to take the TABE and TEAS?

2. What scores are needed for each, to be accepted into the LPN Program?

3. If its true about this remedial course, can she still attend the PN Orientation?

:typing !All Replies Are Welcome! :typing

Hello. Well I just started in August so I should be able to help yall out a little. As for the Tabe, I think she can take it as many times but with the remediation she should only have to take it once after that. As for the teas, 3x per year. You retest only on the parts that you didn't do well on. But you have to pay the $30 each time. As for the orienatation, you can't attend until you pass the Tabe and then they give u all the info on the program and on the teas. Oh yea the scores needed at the time were in the 40 percentile. (Heard it mite be going up).

Hope this helped a little.

Any other questions, Im here

The TABE I believe you can take an unlimited amount of times until you reach the 12th grade math and reading level. If after your initial score for tabe you score below the 12th grade level for both math and english you enroll in VPI for remediation until you reach 12th grade level. Upon scoring the 12th grade level in both math and english, you sit for the TEAS which I believe you are alllowed 3 attempts. If after three attempts you are unable to pass, you must wait a year to retest. Remediation will not prevent you from enrolling in the LPN program. You just have to make sure you pass each section with the required score. Unfortunately I cannot remember what a passing score for the TEAS is.

Did you all use the ATI for the TEAS, I heard its a very good study guide except for the Science portion.. True of False?

I purchased the book and it helped alot. Its well worth the money. The test isn't that bad. For the science section you might want to go and check out a Pre-Admission book for nursing at the library. You can study from that and the ATI book. Just make sure you go over all the sections. You will do fine. :)
