Taking the Teas before completing all required science courses?

Teas is more like basic science... Even earth science stuff.

Since you haven't taken A&P 2, I would really focus on the organ systems. That is the majority of your curriculum for A&P2.

Trust me.... Organ systems is not a major focus on the teas ( it's been years but I remember thinking .... That does this have todo with nursing when I took it".... Buy a study guide before trying to guess what's on it ..... But it's a basic knowledge test

The TEAS consists of 4 sections: scientific reasoning, human body science, earth and physical science and life science. Earth science only consists of 25% of the test and the ATI manual does have a focus on the organ systems in it's human body science. OP said that she hasn't taken AP2, which mostly focuses on the organ systems.

That is a very very small part of the test when you factor math, reading , science, and English.

The OP is asking specifically about science.

Get a TEAS study guide from a reputable site or take a prep class at your school to see what you really need to focus on...

I took the Teas before taking micro. The micro on the Teas are very basic stuff. I read a tiny basic book on intro to micro and I was okay with that. A&P2 was mainly covered in the official TEAs guide. The only topic that tripped me up was the earth sciences and one chemistry question. Still, I got 89% on science. It was easier than expected actually. Study the stuff in the official guide (memorize it all) and if there's some topic in there that you don't quite understand, go to outside resources. Google is great imo.

I took the TEAS during A&P 1 and before micro and 2. I suck at science btw (weird I know) but even taking those classes I don't think I would have done any better. I rocked the rest of the exam, so my 45% overall in science wasn't a huge deal.

I think you should be fine. There is going to be alot of math on there so definitely spend a good amount of time on that. I dont remember seeing any microbio on the teas. It was mostly middle/high school science like earth science. Since you took AP1 you should be fine in that area. I would say review and spend a lot of time on chemistry though...
