TEAS Scores???

Hi everyone. I just got back my TEAS results and I don't know if they are good or bad. My Adjusted Individual Score was 82.9%. (The Mean National was 70.8% and Mean Program 72.6%)

My Percentile Rank was 86 National, and 88 Program.

I didn't really study, but now I wish I had! I thought it was easy when I was taking it, but I guess I was overly confident.

Is this an OK score? I apply for clinicals at the end of the summer, and we don't have another oppurtunity to take the TEAS. Our school has no minimum required score, they just use a point system to figure it in.

It all depends on the scores of everyone else trying to enter the program right now. Some schools are super hard to get into-others are not so hard. Overall your score is pretty good-but it just depends on how everyone else did.

Good luck!

The TEAS isn't hard, it's tricky. I learned when taking a practice test that my score increased by 20% (which is ALOT) once I learned no matter how easy a question seemed when you first reviewed it, read it again, and that is when you usually can 'catch' that it was asking for something slightly differently.

If your mean program was 72.6, I believe that's the average of people you're competing against directly to get into the program you are testing for so it sounds like you did pretty good. I may be off on this but that's my interpretation. Good luck.

I recall our instructor saying our specific program average was usually in the 70s, but they had been getting higher every year..I guess I will find out when I apply LOL.

Hi,

I'm taking my exam next Monday and I'm freaking out. My school goes by the composite score, does anyone know how that is figured out? I have called my school so many times and no one can explain it to me it's not the average of all four scores nor is it what I have to get in each section. I have to have a composite score of 45 to get accepted. PLEASE EXPLAIN this to me I'm FREAKING OUT ABOUT THIS EXAM:(

Thank you
