TEAS Remote Proctoring

Published

I’m wondering if anyone has done their TEAS with the new remote proctoring they’re doing because of COVID-19? If you have, what was your experience?

Hello Everyone, 

 

Just wanted to share my experience with the TEAS using Proctoring. 

I took my exam yesterday and scored a 73.3%, I studied on and off for like 3 weeks. I bought the GCC study guide and bought the practice exams from the ATI website. I got a 70.3% on the English, Math 79%, Science 81%, and English and Language 62%. English is my worst subject and that fact that you're time on the English reading is hard because it took a while for me to understand the passages so I was running out of time. Math was fairly easy, but I was also running out of time so the last 10 questions I did them really quick so I underestimated the time. Science was fairly easy, but they give you some random questions I've never even seen before, or perhaps I didn't think to brush on, for example whats the process of a bone healing and you had to choose between the processes. Scientific reasoning and Life science was okay, but my best advice don't spend so much time learning the physiology of the whole human body because thats what I did and for the most part the questions were super straight forward, as easy as what part of the male reproductive nourishes sperm? oh well prostate glad, most of the human anatomy and physiology I answered real quick because they weren't too complicated. English and language on the other hand I don't even know what happened, I did so bad, I guess I was just over it and tired bc I should've taken a break but I was given an option to, but like I said I'm not to good at it. One thing I will say the practice exams are just like the real exams, so please get them, the exam was more like Practice B. 

I guess I forgot to mention how I did, practice B I scored a 70%, without really studying. Practice C I did really bad, I got a 57% after a week of studying, but it was a lot harder let me tell you.

 

HOPE THIS HELPS. Be aware of the timer on the exam because that *** sucks, I feel like I could have done better but oh well. 

I didn't do that great on language and usage. Reading was MEH. The math and the science I found to be very straightforward. If you don't mind me asking, what did you use to study for the reading/language usage portion? ?

Hi there! I just took the TEAS through ATI using their Proctorio (I got a 92.7!) Fortunately I'd used Proctorio before for some of my classes. It's not perfect (and I used to hate it for the invasion of privacy reason) but the fact that it facilitates the TEAS during the Pandemic makes it convenient.

Basically, after buying it, you schedule your particular date and time. CRUCIAL! YOU MUST CONVERT THE TIME THEY GIVE YOU TO YOUR TIME ZONE. I've heard of ppl missing their test time for this reason.

For the test, they give you a "Dry-Run" to help you know what to expect test day. 100% do this. Basically, have a pencil, eraser and SINGLE sheet of notebook paper. CLEAR YOUR DESK. You will have to film it and if they see something suspicious, they may cancel your test. Have your ID ready. You'll have to lift your laptop to film your test area. Make sure you get everything filmed (leave nothing to chance).

My (brief) advice: Move somewhat fast and don't spend too much time on a problem. Many people don't get to all the answers because they spent too long figuring something out. Keep an eye on your time!

Also, use the 'Flag' function to mark questions you want to come back to. At the end of Science and English, you will very likely have some time to go back and check. Math not so much and Reading comprehension I barely finished in time.

Whoa! I didn't know you can flag questions and go back to them.

Honestly I preferred the remote proctoring solely because I have text anxiety especially when I'm taking exams in a classroom with other peers (IDK why) LOL. So being in a quiet room by myself I found it easier to concentrate and really focus on what I need to know. Personally, I do prefer taking exams that are handwritten because my eyes were starting to hurt staring at a screen for soo long and I didn't wanna look away in case they might flag me cause they thought I might be cheating or something. I will say English was definitely the hardest for me because I spent the least time looking over that material so I GOT A 72 on my first attempt and a 82 on my second attempt.

What did you study to make an 82 your second attempt if you don't mind sharing?

Sure I don't mind sharing! So, I watched alot of Youtube videos . For Math: Brandon craft is amazing! he touches on all the topics you will potentially see on the exam. And he goes step by step on practice problems as well to help you. For science, I mainly used Science with Suzanna and my old anatomy and Chemistry notes. English & Reading:  Carolyn Mccalister. she gets mixed reviews cause alot of people say she teaches to slow LOL so just change the speed so the videos go by quicker LOL. I also am apart of this TEAS study group on facebook where people will post their scores and what they did to achieve that and it helps to let me know what I should focus on more. I also bought the practice tests on the ATI TEAS website and my real score was very similar to what I got on the practice ones. Also mometrix really helped me alot cause their the same group that makes the actual TEAS. their practice exams at the end of the book are a tad bit harder than the real exam but it's better practice cause if you do well on the hard practice ones then you for sure will do well on the real test. Also, I put more focus on English and Science which is why my 2nd attempt I did way better than the first time LOL . My English jumped from a 50 to a 91 and science jumped from 70 to 89.

Thanks for sharing! I just wrote down everything. I plan to retake the end of April. Praying for at least an 80 or higher LOL...
