I got a 95 on the online assessment but made an 80.6 on the real exam. I felt like the online assessment was not at all a good judge of what to expect. I am retaking it in July or August. I took the NET today and it was MUCH easier :yeah: I don't think I even missed any math questions!

I should have said Good luck! I only gave you my scores but I wasn't very supportive, I apologize. Focus on the questions you missed on the assessment. DON'T OVERLOOK english. I did no studying for that section b/c I thought I had it covered. But I didn't. Study EVERYTHING. Bring your book with you. If you get breaks study b/t them. You will do well as long as you focus starting now on your weak areas. GL!

I took the TEAS in February and scored 84 percent. The science section brought my score down. I'm not exaggerating when I say nothing in the practice book prepared me for the science portion. The other sections were pretty darn easy. The science, you either know it or you don't.

I did pretty good on the science- 86- just from reading the TEAS book. It was the english that got me. Apparently I don't know a thing about punctuation LOL!

When I took the test there was a rumor that the science questions were the same questions in the TEAS book. We were surprised to find they weren't. I guess we should have known better. :lol_hitti

My exact thoughts! I know many people are nervous about the science sections.

UPDATE: I got an 88.2% on the TEAS! :D I am in the 99th percentile ranking for the program and 93rd percentile nationally! Wow. I can't believe this. I did even a little bit better on this exam than the last (although I ranked 96th percentile for the NLN) and this is the one I was TERRIFIED OF!
