TEAS Scores

hyunjoo82 · Mar 11, 2010

The thing I noticed about the TEAS was that the problems weren't that "hard" but if you're given a certain amount of time to answer them all (and answer them correctly), you have to know to move quickly and make the least amount of mistakes. It helps to have a watch on hand to pace yourself instead of relying on the exam proctor to tell you how much time you have left.

For me, I just went through the problems one by one and answered as many as I could and marked the ones I wasn't sure of. I didn't dwell on one question for too long because I didn't want to waste time I could be using to answer other problems I could potentially get correct. Then I noticed I had some time left with this method so I would go back and review the ones I wasn't sure about. I think these exams are about speed and accuracy so I would practice bringing those two components together to get the best score possible.

Good luck!!

Adjusted Individual Total Score: 88.2%

Mean - National 72.8%

Mean - Program 77.4%

Percentile Rank - National: 97

Percentile Rank - Program: 93

This was my first and only time taking the test. I am only applying to junior colleges so I did way better than I even needed to, since it's based on a lottery and not actual grades. Here's my breakdown:

Math~91.1%

Reading~97.5%

Science~73.3%

English~87.3%

It depends on your school. I know at my school, you have to have a 82% in reading and overall of 70%. then they used your science, math, and english sub tests to decide tie breaker. if it is still needed they take your AP 1 and 2 gpa, plus give you extra points for CNA, CMA, or Phlebotomy. We can only take it once in a year and hope we do good. I got 80% overall, 90% reading, 80% math, 70% science, and 79%english. So good luck to you.

How bad is this? Someone just told me they'd never seen someone get into a nursing program with a math score so low. (I ran out of time. )

Got into school on first application even with the crappy math score. Graduated in Dec. 2011 with no math problems throughout school. R.N. as of today!!! :nurse:

Congrats to you! I just started studying for the TEAS; I take it in March. I will need to get a 78 to qualify for Fresno State...
