TEA V first time, low score

[wannabeny]

Took the TEAS V yesterday, scored a 62%!! so gutted! I only used old textbooks and allnurses as a references as to what I should focus on. I should have bought the ATI study guide.

My score: 62%

national average: 64%

program average: 63%

level: proficient

english and math score: 63%

science: 53%

reading: 71%

I want to apply to NCC, but I feel like I should retake the test (i can take one 30 days from now and still it would be before spribg applications are due). My GPA would be fine but I have two "C" classes, stats and eng II. all my other nursing courses are A and B. For the program I want to get into, I have:

the following in the required prereqs:

Eng I - A

Intro Psych - A

AP I - B

Stats - C

any advice?

I'd definitely retake it, paying special attention to the sections that the test says you did poorly on. Take the practice assessments on the ATI Testing website. Use the ATI study guide. I wouldn't say old textbooks and allnurses is enough for a TEAS resource.
