teas nursing pre-entrance exam

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hi, I'm new to the website. I am currently finishing my pre-requisites for the nursing program at Northern Virginia Community College, and I will be taking the teas exam in about a month. My school requires that you pass with at least a 78% in each section to apply for the nursing program. We are also only allowed to take the teas test 3 times ever with thirty days between each try, meaning if we don't get a 78% or above on all sections we will never be able to go to nursing school at NVCC. I have read about other programs around Va that use the teas as only a part of their admission process and do not require a certain score in order to apply. I am a bit worried, as I don't know exactly what to expect. I purchased the study manual but I have heard that the manual is not comparable to the actual teas test. I can only take the test once because the program that I hope to get in to starts during the summer (I will not have thirty days to re-test before applying.) If I get less than a 78% on each section I will have to apply for the program that starts in the fall. I'm just wondering if anyone could share their experience with the teas pre-entrance exam, especially the mathematics and science sections. Thanks so much.

I am retaking the teas next month after failing the first time around. I can see now why I did so poorly. I had been out of school for 20 years, and could not remember how to do most of the math problems. I scored in the high 80's in all the other sections, and a 49 in math! I just got through taking a math class, bought the study manual "AND" purchased the online practice tests. You get 2 tests for $35.00. I took one yesterday and it was much more helpful to me because you see "exactly" where you need improvement. I will probably buy 1 more set of online tests to make sure I really understand. Good luck!

Hi Everyone! I was scheduled to take the Teas version 4.0 this Saturday but recieved an e-mail earlier this week that it was rescheduled to next month! At first I was bummed out because i CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT OVER WITH but I guess it's good I have more time to study now. Any advice? I've studied the ATI book as well as the McGraw book for the science section but still am very worried for science. Any good websites or tips?!

What is the difference between version 4 and 5?
