TEAS study in one week?

FlyinBye123 · Oct 17, 2013

I took the TEAS a couple of months ago and did well. I studied nursing math problems (like drip factor) the night before, not having known until the day before that I had to take the test. Only had 2 math problems on the test and they were basic! (I don't have to figure drip factor, so thought I'd best refresh!) I thought the test was very easy. I have been an LPN for several years and knew many answers from working in the field. There were a few meds I didn't recognize and a couple that I recognized the names without remembering what they were. (frustrating when that happens). The TEAS test I took was WAY easier than even NCLEX review tests. I asked about retaking it to increase my score, but was asked "Why? You did very well and made it into the program." Good luck! Sorry I can't help more.

I just took the TEAS last week Friday, it was so much harder than I expected. My school wants to see mid 70's for admission, however, after talking to a few of the students who took the test at the same time as me, I think my 67% may be good enough. The proctor was excited about my score and said I did a great job. Regardless, I'm taking it again in another week. Wish I could help you know what to study for but even after taking the test I can't, I don't remember, it was a stressful blur...Good luck with it. I don't know how people get in the 80-90 range...geniuses...must be.

Hello,

I take mine tomorrow ...if you don't mind me asking, how long did you study prior to taking your test...also what study materials did you use?

I used the McGraw-Hill book and online practice tests but I did buy the ATI manual for the second round. I was blown away by the amount of chemistry on mine but I've talked to others who didn't have as much chemistry. I'm hoping my next version isn't so chemistry based.

I studied for a good solid month for at least 1-2 hours daily, it's just hard to know what to study for. Even with taking the test I'm still a blur for this next time. I did remember that I need to know how to read codon charts :-). Just go slow, read each question, twice.

Good luck.

What school are you attending?

What school are you attending?[/quote'] Yes im going to do that when I'm taking the test. I'm looking at videos as well to refresh my memory about the science part. The math part seems tricky to me since I hate decimals, fractions and all that crap lol. I'm applying for a community college for an ADN degree, El Camino College
