Teas Test Skills Tips Please

Published

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.

I didn't use an ATI one...there was one floating around here for download. I can't remember the name of it though.

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!

Thanks for the info...Im late but i was wondering if it was hard for you to get into the nursing program after passing the teas because I am also applying to Keiser (Lakeland campus) and have to retake the test this saturday. But Im nervous because I know it's sooooo hard to get into a program.

As far as I know with Keiser, if you pass the TEAS and everything else checks out (reference letters, interview etc.) then you are in the Nursing program. You will do your Gen Ed courses first and then when those are finished, you start the actual Nursing program but even while doing your Gen Ed courses, you wear your scrubs - you are considered already in the Nursing program. Good luck!

Thankyou soooo much! Fortunately I took all my prerequisites at my current school, so WHEN I get in i'll just be waiting to start core, unless they don't take my humanities course credits, then i'll have to take something Keiser considers humanities but thats it, everything else is done! Im just hoping everything goes well I've been studying like crazy!!!!! But thanks again, I feel a lot better!:)
