TEAS test in 13 days! Applying to HCC LVN

U.S.A. Texas

Published

I am kinda starting to freak out b/c when I registered for the test I did not realize that my AP2 final was on the same day and my AP1 final was the NEXT day.

I'm starting to worry I might not have the grades in my prereq's to get into the program. I'm taking A1 and AP2 with Weirsema (for those who go to HCC, toughest teacher out there but you WILL learn) with an avg so far of 92 in AP2 and 89 in AP1. I'm also taking their Intro to Health Professions class with an A there as well (super easy class).

LOOOONG story short, i wanted to know if anyone could give me an idea as to how i would stack up against other lvn hopefuls?? And if 13 days is enough time to study for my TEAS test (need help in math and chem only really) and get the minimum 70% on it?

Thanks for any advise and encouragement, I have a child on the way and this is something I have been working for all semester.

Thanks,

Armando

Congrats on the baby on the way! And about the TEAS it's definitely possible. I only studied seriously for a week and a half and I got a 77% The reading and English parts are not hard so I just focused on the math mainly and a little on Chemistry since I had just taken AP I and II and that was still fresh in my mind. Most of the studying for the math part is just going to be reviewing things you already know how to do but probably haven't done without a calculator since high school like dividing fractions. If you don't have a study guide, I would definitely recommend getting one because the questions in the study guide are worded very similarly to the actual test so for me it really helped me feel prepared. Hope that helps a little and good luck!

Good luck & please keep us updated on how you do! I have to take the TEAS this summer for the school I am applying to.

Good luck too! I just took it yesterday and I got an 84.1, 90th percentile, so that is good! I have a study guide, PM your email me if you would like me to send your way. It has most of the questions that were listed throughout this website...

By the way I took version V which is a little more difficult then version 3/4. Which version will you be taking?

Version V is what I am taking. I just took my first practice exam in the Kaplan book and scored an average of 80 between the reading and comprehension & vocabulary :( I rushed through it like crazy and I don't know why. also i cannot send PM's for some reason. Test is on Tuesday!!! I am freaking out.

Since I need 15 QUALITY posts in order to send a PM I'll just post it here. [email protected]

Specializes in (Hopefully one day..) neuro/urology ^.^.

You're allowed to take both ap1&2 at the same time at HCC?

Just curious because I'm thinking of applying for the LVN program sometime next year..

You are not supposed to and it is HIGHLY unrecommended but I did it and I am sitting at a 91 in AP2 and an 89 in AP1. Also, I had ******** for my poff and let me tell you.... he was the most changelling teacher I have ever had, BUT you come out of there knowing what you're talking about.

Anyone here recently get into the LVN program at HCC??

I was wondering what you did and what your scores were. Just so I know what my chances are haha

I took A&P I & II at the same time and I made A's in both of the classes. It was a lot of hard work, but I still believe I have a good foundation in both of the classes :)

The test is in 3 days. I feel really comfortable with it all now and Im really starting to concentrate on my two AP finals.

Well I finished the semester with an A in AP2 and a B in AP1 :( as well as an A in Health Professions. I took the test on the 11th and although I finished in the 98-99 percentile on every subject (92%math 89%science 89%english) I faltered in the reading portion and missed it by one point (69%)

So now i'm retaking on the 20th and THIS time I wont be up for two nights in a row studying and finishing projects from health professions b/c my lap top crashed haha.

I really think the lack of sleep caused me to lose concentration and make really really silly mistakes. I will keep everyone updated, wish me luck!!!
