HI, I am really nervous about the Teas Test. Can you share what will you do different? I am not good in Math. How is the structure in the sciences. I am also nervous about that. If you have done the Teas in 2009, any tips are welcome. Wish me luck ! I will be doing the test on Dec 17th 2009.

would anyone mind forwarding me the link/book/file? i can't send pms now but you can get a link if you look at my profile and under my yahoo im.

First Post! I'm taking my TEAS on Dec. 11. I'm looking for any last minute help I can get. I'm mostly worried about the Math. If anyone has some pointers on how and what to study that would be appreciated.

Specializes in Emergency Nursing.

A lot of the science is sort of common sense if you can reason your way through it but there does seem to be a very wide variety of subject matter from anatomy to chemiztry to biology to whatever the questions are about what animals eat other animals are called. The math is all pretty much basic algebra and geometry.

As others have said, I recommend the study manual.

I'm taking my TEAS tomorrow at 11:00. Can anyone tell me if there are a lot of word problems in the Math section?

Thank you for the TEAS test congrats!

To 5 star nurse - I do not have PM yet so I can't PM you back. I am applying to Keiser University, I have an interview on Wednesday. I know they require a 89% in reading, the other subjects aren't so high but I don't the exactly.

Good luck and if you have any other question's I would be happy to answer them if I can.

I just wanted to pass on my experience with the TEAS test. I took the test 3 weeks ago after having just 2 ½ weeks to study for it and having not been in school for 20 years. I read a lot so I felt I would be okay with the English & Reading but when I looked at the Math section of the ATI TEAS Study Guide I flipped out. It was so difficult - not only was I terrible at Math in High School but there were things I had never even seen. I was certain I was going to fail the Math portion of the test. I used the Study Guide, and took the TEAS sample tests from the Test Prep Review website and the biggest help of all came from the website, Math.com. IT HELPED ME SO MUCH, especially with fractions and percentages. You should also know how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa. I am convinced that it was because of this site that I passed the Math. I couldn't believe it. However, I failed the Science part and I had to come back the following week to retake it because that was the last testing session for 2009. To study for the Science part, I used the ATI Study Guide, the McGraw Hill Nursing School Entrance Exam book (got it from the library- it was very helpful) and the Internet (Wikipedia and children's physics and chemistry websites) because I needed concepts broken down REALLY SIMPLY. The Science part of the TEAS was very hard for me but I passed it by studying REALLY HARD and just reading everything about Life Science, Human Body Science, Chemical & Physical Science and General Science(all the Topics in the ATI Study Guide). I also took out Kaplan's and Barron's Nursing School Test books from the library, plus a GED book but I found McGraw Hill's to be the most helpful. Some of the things you need to know about are independent variables, rock formation, tectonic plates, the nervous system (parasympathetic etc.), eukaryotes, the periodic table, velocity and hydrogen bonding. Bottom line, I passed the Science this last Monday and cried because I couldn't believe it. I will start Nursing School on January 4, 2010. These last 3 weeks have been excruciating, - the Math & Science sections of the TEAS test were not easy (for me anyway) but if you study, you can pass it. I found this website (Allnurses.com) to be very comforting and very helpful regarding tips. Read all the posts relating to the TEAS, as many as you can - it helped me a lot. I just want to say thank you to this site for all the helpful information and for giving me more confidence. It was inspiring to read about all the people who passed in spite of the test being difficult. I am one of them. It can be done - good luck to all!

I took the TEAS test about a month ago. Got my results and passed (not with flying colors, but i passed!) I was registered with the ATIT website and i noticed they had a practice test online. It was like 30 bucks, but let me tell you, it is worth it. I think you get to take it like 2-3 times, but the layout and even some or the questions are almost the exact same. I think i would have done worst if i didn't buy that practice test. I definately recommend it to those who are using the ATIT website for their TEAS test.

Heres the link for it:http://www.atitesting.com/onlinestore/ProductPage.aspx?&code=166&isproduct=1

I took the online practice test last week and only got a score in the 70's. YIKES. I have to start studying my math and science. I've been out of school for 10 years and my school bases admissions on just the math and science portion. Good luck everyone. I think I am going to take the other online practice test they offer- they have 2 available for version V.
