Who's taken the teas v?

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

And what did you think? I took it last week and feel like I was prepared for the Math and Reading portions by using the study guide but I really struggled with the Science portion. For me it was a lot of Chemistry and it's been a while since I've taken that course. I met the minimum requirements in each category for my program but it's the first year they're using the TEAS V (Last year they used the NET) so I'm not really sure what a competitive score is yet. Anyway I know there are different entrance tests and versions of the TEAS everyone is taking so I was just wondering how people felt about version V.

I took the TEAS V just a few weeks ago. My combined score was a 94. I scored in the 90's in all sections, with the exception of science, in which I scored an 89. I posted a detailed outline of subjects covered on my version of the exam. No specific questions, mind you, rather the overall subjects I could remember. The exam is very challenging. Even if you are a natural test taker, I would highly suggest spending some time preparing for this exam.

The TEAS V is as much about critical thinking as it is about your knowledge base. You have to be able to apply what you know to examples. This is particularly true in the science portion of the exam. I am sure that is no accident, as these are the types of skills that will be vitally important to you in nursing school. Gone are the days of memorizing muscles. Hello to applying what you know to real world situations, and making decisions based on the factors at hand.

If I didn't score well on a section, can I just retake that section, or do I have to retake the whole test?

I took the TEAS 5 and scored a 86 percent and I believe overall it was a very fair test. Just get a TEAS 5 booklet and review for a month and you should be good to go. These were my scores science 87.5 reading 83 math 100 and writing 65

Goodluck :)

Hi All. I'm new to this community. I will be taking the TEAS V test on March 23rd and I'm VERY nervous. This will be a new career path for me. I've been out of high school / college for almost 20 years. I was an English major in college and am in a career where very little math is used surprisingly. I'm just wondering if using the study guide alone will be enough for me to pass this exam. For those of you out there who were in a situation similar to mine, can you please give me some input? Did you feel ready for the exam after using only the study guide and practice tests or did you feel unprepared? Any information provided is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

There is so much vital information from all you guys! Thanks for sharing. Will be taking mine in March or April.

I am using ATI Study Guide and 2 Mcgraw Hill books

I graduated in 2000 with BS in Psychology and just decided to go back to school this year. I took TEAS V this past summer. I won't lie, it was difficult for me since I have been out of school for a long time. I studied just about every day for over a month and it was frustrating. You will probably do just fine on both english sections and math is doable but where I was thrown off was the science section. It was really hard! I passed the test but it took every ounce of energy to stay focused. My version was full of scientific reasoning questions and chemistry. I had a study guide, I would recommend it. Don't forget that you will have more questions on the real exam and pay attention to timing. Good luck.

what is the name of the nursing school website that has powerpoints

I took the TEAS V today and scored an 85% composite score. I bought the ATI study manual and the two online practice assessments (you can buy a bundle with all of this on the ATI site) and they were a HUGE help - so if you're wondering if it's worth the money - YES, it definitely is. I read through and studied the entire study manual for 1 month, then took the practice tests in the book, reviewed what I missed after each, took the online practice tests and reviewed after each of them as well. I scored maybe and average of 76% between all 4 of the practice tests. I reviewed my weak topics up until the day before my test, got plenty of rest the night before, and scored even higher on the real thing. I was so happy with this score. If you study the right way and study hard it will pay off - Good luck!

Congrats dilyn! I am taking the test in March. I have the ATI review book and a separate book which has 3 practice tests. Last night i took the math and both English/sections (all that time allowed for last night!), and scored about a 76%. I've been out of school a long time and it's taking a while to get back in to the swing of things. All of the information is familiar, but I still have a lot of studying ahead of me. Thankfully I have a full month and a half left to study before my exam. I hope I do as well as you did. Congrats again! Any tips on study methods that worked for you?

I took the test and received an overall composite score of 71%. I scored an 83% on math and 67% on science. The program I want to get in requires a minimum overall score of 62.5% and a minimum score of 60 in each of the four test components: Reading, Math, Science, and English. I used the mcgraw teas v practice book, and I would NOT recommend it for the reading and english sections. I was doing very well while practicing, actually scoring higher in reading and English than math. If I had to do it all over again I recommend purchasing ATI's practice products. They more than likely prepare you better. Then again I hate taking test on computers, so that might affect my concentration. Anyways, the test was not HARD if you review your math and science. I wish I got a higher score, but I am just thankful that I passed the first time. Definitely study your A&P notes. There are tons of questions that involve chemistry and anatomy. Hope this comment helps others with preparing for the TEAS V!!!! Best of luck to all!!!!

Ehh. Not sure what all the hype is about the TEAS V. I thought the information was very elementary, except a few questions. Definitely go back to high school level math and some college AnP. The part that got me was the Reading and Grammar (always have been my weak points.) I didn't study and earned a composite score of 84%. Hopefully I'll be getting into the program of choice. So stoked!
