Hey everyone,
I've read different topics about teas exam here and
got confused about the best source to study. Which one should I get?
ATI teas secrets study guide teas
Or
ATI TEAS Study Manual – Sixth Edition
or
Mc-Graw Hill Teas review

I used the ATI study manual. I'm not familiar with the other two resources, so I can't speak to their usefulness (or uselessness:whistling:)
I just finished my PN year, and my school uses the ATI resources throughout the program also. What I really like about the ATI stuff is that the practice questions and practice exams are VERY close to what you'll see on the actual exams. I have horrible test anxiety, so doing all of the practice questions really helped put me at ease when the time came to take the real deal. The study manual also contains a lot of review information for the subjects that are included on the TEAS, but don't limit yourself to just the manual if you're weak in a particular area. My weakest area was math, so I used a lot of web resources to study for the math portion in addition to the ATI study manual.

Thank you for your answer
Is the ATI manual a hard copy? Or does it come with online practices?

I had many people actually recommend the Mometrix book over the ATI book (hard copy if I am not mistaken) or to use both of them. They also said the practice tests are a must have (at least for them). I personally have the Mometrix book right now as I got it off a friend, but I will purchase the ATI book and the two exams in January before my test date in the spring. The books are simply a guide to your studying, but you may also need to do your own indepth review over some topics and I heard the ATI book in particular can be very basic.
By practice tests do you mean the ATI online practices?
Yes. I heard to take one before studying altogether just to give you an indication of your strengths and weaknesses. Many used it to help them focus their studying. The second was something they took a few days before their actual test date to see what they improved it.

I would suggest the study materials from ATI since they are the ones that write the test. Personally, I focused my studies on their materials. I also used other study materials to ensure I had a grasp of the topics covered. Lastly, the practice exams from ATI were crucial to my studies. They provided a great way to see how questions may be worded as well as getting a feel for the amount of pacing I required during the test.

I got the ATI study manual from ebay because it was a lot more cheaper. the seller has great reviews. the book I got is just 192 pages. Did I get the right book?
