Teas exam please help fellows

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hello fellow nurses and students. I've been reading everybody's posts but haven't posted myself due to embarrassment. This is getting to me and i cant control my depression anymore and i thought maybe you ladies and gentlemen can help. So i have taken my teas test twice. First time was a major bummer, i ended up with a score of 52 after draining myself with studying. Second time i took it i ended up with a score of 58 which was even more depressing because i had invested so much time and effort into studying i really thought i deserved better. So my question is am i over studying? I am really confused on what to study i have seen the test yes. I do have an idea of whats on there but i still feel like i end up going too into depth with the information and it confuses me during the exam. Can anybody please give me any specifics? Cause lately i've noticed that i think about the exam so much that i cant sleep at nights. I keep reviewing my study notes in my head the whole night. I am scheduled to take the exam in July and i have started studying already. I think my weakest point is reading comp. The phrases and the choices it offers confuses the hell outta me. The answer you would think is right really isnt. Like the question about a lady disappearing in the middle of the night after an unknown object showing up in the sky, which was asked on test. It tells you to find a logical conclusion but mostly all of them make sense. The one that makes the most sense is not correct. So i dont know what to study anymore and im really falling to a whirlpool of depression with over studying and getting too into depth with everything. Can someone please help if they have recently taken the exam and passed, what did you really focus on and how in depth did you go? Please, please ,please. Thank you

What that was a boost of hope! Thank you sooo much! I am still studying, hopefully it pays of.

I got 72% on my Teas 6 on the First try. I have to say I am very disappointed. I have spent so much time studying. Cutting back on my free time, and job just to get a score that low. I hate that I may have to wait another year or to retake it again.

Reading 61.7%

Math 71.9%

Science 78.7%

English 83.3%

My program requires that the Math and Reading portion to be at least 63%. So guess what I may have to wait another year to get in. I still applied but doubt hey will get me over someone who scored higher in the reading portion. I am hopeless today, if not depressed. I could have hope and pray for a miracle if I had just had 2 extra points in reading. Anyway. I don't know if I want to through the studying process again. I have sacrificed too much.

Don't get down on yourself, you CAN do it! I was in the same boat a year ago for one specific school I really wanted to go to.

Last year I applied to 2 schools. One of them I was qualified but did not get in. I had 3 B's and had to retake some classes. The other school, I missed the mark by 3% in the reading portion of the TEAS. I was super bummed to say the least. I retook the test this year and got an 84.7%!

Waiting a year sounds and feels super long, I know! BUT, think of the positive things you can get done within the next year before going into nursing school. You have to always believe in yourself, have grit, which is a big factor in determining success in people. You gotta have grit. You CAN do it.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have decided to retake it again. Will retake it next month. The sooner the better.
