LVN need HELP with bring up TEAS scores

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hello, I am a LVN from Texas, also an older than normal student. I just took the TEAS test for RN school and received my scores today. They are not high enough for RN school. I have major test anxiety and I am a slower than normal reader, so my main problem was that I ran out of time, before finishing the test. Also, I have 3 parents with a lot of medical issues and being an only child, they have been stressing me out. One thing I know is taking care of a parent is a lot harder than taking care of others. Anyways, can anyone help me out with ways to help me score higher on my TEAS test.

If you truly have text anxiety I would get help for that first & foremost.

What is the score you need & what is the score you got?

What did you use to study for the TEAS?

How did you study?

How long did you study for (hours/day & for how many days/weeks/months)?

Did you study any differently from when you were in nursing school?

You can do it. You made the score once to get into an LVN program & you will do it again (even if it takes time). Don't over think the TEAS test, it is just a test. Just like the exams in nursing school or the NCLEX. Except if you don't do well on the TEAS, you don't fail/get dismissed! Major bonus in my book.
