ATI TEAS 6 Advice and Recommendations!

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hey everyone,

As we all know and fear.. the new ATI TEAS 6 came out yesterday (AUGUST 31st 2016).

If you have taken the ATI TEAS 6, please feel free to update the rest of us on how it was for you. As well as, any tips on studying and review materials that you found helpful!

Thank you.

I am planning on taking the atiteas this Nov. I am debating on buying the practice test on the ati website, due to the cost of the test. How many times can you retake the practice test after you pay.? Does it show rational to the questions you miss? Is it timed like the regular test? I bought the ati study manual on amazon and the atiteas secret study guide to use as a additional recourse. It has been 10 years since I took A&P 1and2. It has also been about 7 years since chemistry. Same is true for college algebra or any math form of math and same for English 1&2. My most recent education was LPN school 5 years ago. So any tips or suggestions on how to best prepare for the test is appreciated. Thanks

I recently to the TEAS 6 exam and surprisingly scored a 98% in the 99th percentile. I didn't do much to prepare other than completing the mometrix guide from cover to cover, as well as completing both practice test on the ATI website. Let me know if you have any questions! I'm happy to help.

Hello I just took the ATI teas 6 and wanted to leave you a review. It was surprisingly easy,very basic stuff nothing goes into too much depth. The reading section was easy but, the time they gave me was sporifice. Math was nothing over an 8th grade level. There was no algebra or geometry. Science had some human anatomy physiology questions but, the majority was chem and physical science. English was just basic stuff nothing over high school level. Overall I got 87.8%

I also took the practice test B and in my opinion the practice test B was MUCH easier then the actual test. FYI

Hey guys, so I just took the TEAS 6 a couple of days ago, so I figured I'd go on here and share some advice about my personal experience.

1) 1st section the Reading, it wasn't too bad just make sure you can understand what the authors purpose is for the passage (inform, express feelings, analytical, expository, persuade). (53 questions)

2) 2nd section the Math, to me it was personally the easiest section, especially since you will be given an electronic calculator to use, it's simple math, percentages, and working with fractions, make sure to have brushed up on your geometry formulas (only the basic shapes circles, triangle, square, rectangle and sphere). (36 questions)

3) 3rd section the Science, this one caught me a bit off guard since I was confident in science. However, they really went into details more than I expected on anatomy and physiology definitely focus on that. I only got one physics questions a concept one, and around two or three chemistry. So spend more time on your biology. (53 questions)

4) last section the English usage, this section is where I struggled the most (personally). Know how to find conjunctions, prepositions, etc. Also finding out which word of the statement is the adverb and adjective, proper sentence structure. And figuring out a meaning of a word based on context. This section has the LEAST questions (28 questions) so you have less room for error and the shortest time so make sure to get really comfortable.

After the math section they will give you an optional 10 minute break if you choose to take it or not, you can just keep going, I recommend to at least step outside for a bit to get some air and give your brain a minute to relax and get back into it, hope this helped good luck guys.

Hello, I recently took the Teas 6 and scored a 92. The math section mainly focused on algebra, unit conversions, and a bit of geometry (area and volume). The science section was 98% A&P and a few questions on chemistry. The questions were very basic and straight forward. I didn't purchase the Teas study guide manual nor the practice tests. I mainly used an app called Teas VI and a website that provided free practice tests and study guides, Free Test Prep for the TEAS . The test wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The math, reading, and english sections were similar to the SATs in my opinion! Good luck :)

I'm taking the ATI TEAS IV in about ten days, and so far I've just been studying the ATI Study Manual. I'm thinking of buying at least one practice test, but I'm not sure if it's worth it because a lot of people say the practice tests are much much easier than the actual test. Are there any other free online websites that have good practice questions or exams?

Hey all, I took the TEAS 6 for the first time a few days ago and got 90%. I just wanted to share what I used to study. I don't really have any issue with English or Math so I mainly only used these resources to study for the Science portion of the examination.

First, I bought a copy of Cliff's Anatomy and Physiology Review off Amazon - it's cheap and info-dense, and the majority of the exam questions were A&P stuff, so this really helped. Second, I purchased the Mometrix TEAS 6 review book - it was fantastic in terms of giving me an idea of what the exam would be like and had questions I found very similar to the test itself, so it's a nice cheap alternative to the official ATI tests. It also includes a categorized review of everything that could possibly be on the exam, which I also found helpful. Lastly, I reviewed a few videos on YouTube each day on different body systems. I found the Crash Course A&P series to be particularly helpful in providing a dense, general review with memorable case studies. I studied for about 2-3 weeks with a few days off here and there for the holidays.

I ended up scoring about an 86-87% on the Science portion (don't remember the exact number) and it's been a few years since I took A&P, so I think the materials I used gave me a pretty decent

Hi Clina,

Is the reading and English the same questions in TEAS V. I took the TEAS 5 about 6 years ago and wanted to know. Can you reply here or my email. [email protected]

Because of the TEAS test crashing on me I have to retake the test in the administrations office. I was waiting for my Nursing admission letter for Fall 2018. I am anxious and devastated.

It crashed because I touched the numbers pad to input numbers in the calculator. ATI let me finish the math part seperately. I had to start over from problem number 1, instead of resuming from where it crashed. My school Joilet Junior College is not accepting my final score. And my school didn't call me during spring break about the situation. now I have to cram and take the TEAS test in 3 days. I studied for two week the first time around. And it been a while month since I looked at the TEAs textbooks. I had a 77. An automatic seat in the nursing program.

I feel so sick. I feel

rushed and unprepared, now. Plus we just got off of spring break and all my semester classes is going through midterm exam!!! Thanks JJC. You couldn't call me duRing spring break!?
