TEAS; timing questions (time/section)

[Traveler0202]

Hi fellow pre/nursing students,

I have a few questions regarding formatting of the TEAS test. I plan on taking the TEAS V in a few months and am starting my study plan and test strategy.

First question:

I read that the test is given on computer. I wonder if we can go back and forth if we want to skip and go back. I don't mean back and forth between different subjects but rather within the same skill-testing area. For example, in the "Reading Comprehension" section I found the first bunch of questions time consuming (practice test). If I wanted to skip those and go do all the straight forward ones and then come back to the beginning can I do that?

Second question:

I also read that there are 20 unscored questions throughout the exam. Does anyone know what these are for? Why are they not scored? Bonus questions would be just too good to be true :)

Third question:

In regard to the time allotted for each section: a)if we finish before time is up, may we move on right away to the next section? b)does any unused time compile to add to the next sections? (well I' pretty sure it's a 'no' on that one but just checking )

Thanks for any input that would help me (and surely others) get set to attack the TEAS.

Cheers!

I took Ver 5 today on a computerized test. You can move at your own pace. If you finish a section early you can take a break and then move on to the next section. You can also go back and forth to other questions WITHIN the section but once submitted you cannot go back to that section. Yes there are unscored questions, you do not know which ones but there are several in each section so do well on every question! Good luck.
