TEAS Test vs GRE

Published

Hello there! I was wondering if anyone was familiar with both the TEAS and GRE test? I recently took the GRE and was wondering how much more time should I give myself to study for the TEAS? I know they both test basic skills, with one difference being that the TEAS has a science portion. I am a science major but know I will have to give myself some time to review the basics. I am not assuming for one second that since I studied for the GRE I do NOT have to study for the TEAS test, just wondering what is a good (and realistic) amount of time to give myself to do well.

I only did mediocre on the GRE because I wasn't planning on taking it and only had a week to prepare. I ended up scoring ~65th percentile in all subjects, which is not terrible considering but is definitely not good enough. Any insight would be much appreciated!

I didn't take GRE but I took GMAT (which should be similar in difficulty). TEAS is much easier. I did finish my pre-reqs when I took TEAS, and the science questions were pretty basic. I studied for 3 weeks (couple hours a day). Many schools limit the number of times you can take it, so make sure you're prepared before you take the real test. Good luck.

TEAS is like high school level knowledge of science.

GRE is measuring college level abilities.
