Taking TEAS V today

[Bluebfly]

Hello everyone. I'm new to the site and am hoping to connect with other nurses and nursing students. I am in the process of applying for the nursing program at a local college and I take my TEAS V today. I'm soooooooo nervous I've been out of school for 20 years and have spent the last 6 weeks preparing. ATI and McGraw study guides, flash cards and online practice tests from ATI and the ATI study guide. My college only selects 24 applicants and I'm sure hoping to be one of them. Minimum score to apply is a composite score of 62. My last online practice exam I took last night was an 84, so we shall see. Fingers and Toes crossed. I would love any last minute suggestions or things to look out for that anyone who has taken it could recommend. Thanks so much and I will post how I did.

Thank you so much for your encouragement....I passed!!!!! My composite score was an 80.7%..I am super pleased. The crazy thing is the science is what I was worried about and studied the most for and I got an 81.3% in that section, lol. I got a headache halfway through the test and began feeling nauseated. I was soon nervous I didn't eat for fear of having to run to the restroom...and the headache affected me. The last section on English and Language usage, I scored a 60% and I know I should have and could have scored higher if not for the headache. Oh well, but I don't care....I'm so happy!!!! My admissions advisor was pleased also.

If anyone has questions and want a bit more detail of my experience, I will be more than happy to answer!
