TEAS practice test 4 vs.5

Published

I am due to take the TEAS (version 3/4) on June 24th. Anyway, in my preparations to take this, I paid to take the online practice TEAS version 4 and also the practice TEAS version 5. What a difference between the two tests! I found the TEAS 5 to be WAY harder then the TEAS 4, at least in comparing these two practice exams.

Has anyone else taken the two different practice exams? (or am I the only one foolish enough to spend extra money studying for this:uhoh3: )

Oliveira1: I was applying to several schools. One only accepted v5; the other only accepted v4.

Bsnwnab: I would say yes because that is what I did and I actually did better on v4 (which is much easier in my opinion), but I would strongly recommend against doing it the other way around.

When I took v4 after taking v5, it felt like I was taking TEAS Light. It was the same content, but it just seemed like the questions were easier.

alright cool, thanks for the info. i bought the manual and only plan to study v5 because i read that for fall '11 ALL (??) schools will only accept v5, but just in case, i wanna make sure i can still do well in v4 if ever i have to take it but i don't have the luxury of buying the v4 study manual.

I'm shopping around for nursing schools and I was just wondering which were some of them that you applied to and in what area of the US?

Hi Everyone.. I'm taking the version 4 test very soon and am so nervous! Do you have any suggestions of what to really focus on? As most people, I'm most nervous for the science portion :( For englishm do you have to disect a sentence by identifying the subjects, nouns, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
