Hello! I got a 72, which is great since I needed around a 65 to get in!

Honestly, the parts that really stumped me on the practice tests weren't as hard when actually taking it. When studying, make sure you know a lot about the systems (primarily endocrine and cardio from what I've seen) and read up on english language. The math wasn't too hard, it's basic algebra and some statistics. Honestly, the bulk of the test is primarily anatomy and physiology, so make sure you study! I hope this helps :)

I'm taking mine on the 18th and I'm currently freaking out. I haven't taken Chem yet, but i'm almost done with AP 223. My RN school deadline is 3/01 so i'm trying to hurry up and take the TEAS before the deadline. There is a once every 90 days rule here so this my one shot or i'll have to wait for the next selection date

So 14 days to study for my first time taking the TEAS ever.

I'm pretty solid on english and reading on my practice exam, it's the math that scares me (i'm just finishing math 120 and i'm not doing so hot in it) and the chem/science questions in general. Do they give you the formulas for the math on there?

No formulas were given on mine, and finding area/volume is something that may be on the test. It did give the metric/U.S. conversions (pounds to kilograms), but not conversions within the metric system (miligrams to grams).

There's honestly not a lot of chemistry on the test. It's mostly A&P. If you took chem in high school, I would just review some basics--balancing equations, valence electrons, etc. I had more scientific reasoning than chemistry.

Nope. no chem in high school. And I haven't been in high school since like 1998. Back then they really didn't care about your education either. They literally graduated me out with an D in PRE-Algebra. So I've been struggling with math for like the last decade or so trying to get it up to this point.

I took my pre-test last night, and I failed it miserably in the math section. Test is monday. I'm not optimistic...

Then maybe look up just some overall information on atoms. Specifically stuff about valance electrons, the octet rule, bonds (covalent, ionic, hydrogen), how attraction works between atoms, and balancing equations. Honestly, I wouldn't spend too much time on it for the test since like I said, mine was mostly A&P and scientific reasoning. So, that's going to help you more with your score than chem. You can always go back and review other chem topics later. (Edit: Or really, as I think about it, you could always just skip chem for now. Focusing on the math might be more helpful to your score than using your time on chem. Prioritize whatever you think is going to help the most.)

Have you looked up any videos for the math? I've been told by people who were struggling with the math that CraftMath's Tutorials on Youtube were very helpful. You might not have time to work on everything, but it might help with at least mastering a few skills.

If you have facebook, there's also an TEAS group there that has some study notes and such. You can ask for help on certain problems, etc.
