TEAS failed 3rd time

Published

Does each school have different max of takes for the test? I failed again and it was my 3rd. I took the first one at a different school and two on same college. :( I feel depressed man.. I feel like I wasted time getting As in the prereqs..

Yes, different schools have different requirements. What were your scores?

I'm sorry. :( That's rough. I do know that every school has different requirements. Some only look at certain sections of the TEAS, and some look at the averaged grade. Also, schools have different requirements about how many tests you can take. One I know of only allows you to take the test once; even if you've taken it more than once, they only look at your first test grade. Have you looked at all of the nursing schools you could possibly attend to see their requirements? I'd try doing that before thinking about taking the test again. Also, some nursing schools require the HESI exam instead of the TEAS. That could be an option.

Hey Ashton24, I feel you I took mine on the 18th and I failed on the reading section. The cut score was a 69% but I got a 62%. I passed my overall grade though. So, I have to retake in June that is; if the program isn't fully occupied. I'm extremely terrified, I couldn't sleep for almost 3 days. ;(

Hey, if you've been studying the TEAS manual you should be fine. Do not spend too much time on one question because time goes by so quick. If you're taking or you've already taken A&P, that will help on the science section. Life Science, Chemistry, Codon chart, scientific reasoning...basically everything from the manual. THINK TWICE when answering, be able to eliminate answers that don't sound right. Have some rest, believe in yourself and go for it :). Good luck!!

Hey Norma24, I'm sorry, I know how you feel. I cried like a bubbling baby after I failed my first Teas. I'm taking it again between April-May so I'm preparing diligently. I honestly did not study! Plain and simple. Don't give up, if this is what you want, gut it out and make it happen. You got this! ??
