TEAS question

[jazzyrose]

Hi all,

I'm planning on taking the TEAS Test in January of 2011. I already purchased the version V manual, which is the version my school will be administering and it covers broad areas in science and math. My being accepted is largely based on my TEAS score. I really want to score a 90% overall on the test and would appreciate any advice. My questions are,

1. Should I purchase other books to help with the subject areas such as math and science?

2. Are all of the questions on the Test based on the information in the study guide?

3. Is it too soon to start studying? Its July and my test is in January.

Thanks for your help...:)

Hi, I just took the TEAS a few weeks ago myself. I didn't score a 90 but I still did pretty well. I used the study guide. I thought it was helpful, but I actually felt that the study guide was much harder then the exam itself. I had a friend who used the online practices and I've heard those are much better to study from. Either way I'm sure you'll do great, its really not that hard I barely studied because I had a huge exam in a hard class 2 days before I took the test and I still did good.

I just took TEAS version 4. I used the TEAS study guide and I purchased on online TEAS practice tests. I felt that using those was a good prep for the exam, but I searched this site too for any additional information, hints, etc.

I don't know about version 5, but all the info that was on my TEAS test was NOT in the study guide.

I started studying 6 months in advance. I scored a composite of 88%. I felt the test was hard, so actually I'm surprised that I did as well as I did.

Good luck to you!
