Teas help!!!

I have recently taken the TEAS exam. I found that the book is almost exactly what is on the test. Get the TEAS book and do the problems, it will help you with the test.

I am not sure about a crash course but if you are retaking the TEAS make sure you take the same version because I had to take the TEAS twice and the test was pretty much the same the second time I took it. So if you remember any of the questions that you missed the first time you took it make sure you study those. And if you are taking version 4 you should definitely look at the TEAS thread on this website because they don't have the exact questions but your fellow test-takers can tell you what topics are on there and where you can focus your study.

Sorry I misread your post... I thought you were retaking the TEAS. If this is your first time taking the TEAS definitely study the ATI book... as the above poster says it is exactly the same format as the test... and btw I scored 13% higher on my actual TEAS then I did on any practice test I took I thought the actual test was a little easier.

I did horrible on the free online teas prep test and did fine on the real teas. hang in there im sure you will do great

Is the TEAS exam timed?

yes it is

I agree with PPs to get the ATI TEAS book, study that (and only that b/c other nursing entrance exam books cover stuff not on the TEAS) and you will be fine. The real test (at least 4.0) is WAY easier. Do not even waste a minute studying the reading/English sections. As long as you are moderately literate you will do well on that section. I remembered thinking "wow, seriously?!?!?" in that section and NOT because it was challenging LOL. Focus on the math (which isn't too too bad) and the science which is random. G/L!

yes it is

How much time they give you ?

Thanks a lot my lovely people for answering my question!!!!

Does anyone have advice for the science section? I hear we need to know about clouds!?!? Also, for english do you have to disect the sentence and identify nouns, subjects, etc?

When I took the tests about 6 months ago (version 4) there weren't any questions about clouds so don't worry about that, there were questions about rock formation... just very basic but if you didn't study it you wouldn't know! And no you don't have to dissect a sentence... What the posters above me said are true if you can read and write english you will be fine on the reading section... The english section is a little tougher because you need to know grammar and sentence structure and spelling. There are definitely some commonly misspelled words on there. You need to know things like if an independent clause is followed by another independent clause what is the correct punctuation mark that needs to go between them. And they don't ask the question they just give you a sentence you need to know they are independent clauses and that a period and or semi-colin goes between them. And then chose the right answer. One answer might have a comma in between them one answer might have a colon in between them and one answer might have nothing in between them. It is honestly very very very similar to the practice tests (format wise). Just study the ATI testing book and you will be fine. I studied for like 10 days and got a 90. The science portion is the hardest part (it was just really random and all over the place and hard to study for) and math I thought was the easiest... I did take up to calc 2 in college so I may have had just a slight advantage.

Just to clarify this is for version 4 not version 5 I do believe in version 5 there are some sentence dissections just simple ones for example...

John ran quickly to the park to get his boots that he left there?

Question: The word Quickly is what part of speech in the sentence above?

Answer: Adverb (modifies the verb ran)

Thanks so much for your post back! I'll just study everything I can get my hands on for science and review some english things. I think I'm pretty good in math but have been practicing so I don't run out of time. I've studied rocks so I hope I'll be good on those as well! Thank you.
