Teas V and proctored essay anxiety!!!

For the TEAS I would recommend you keep a vigilant eye on that clock. If you've studied the book cover to cover then you should be good as far as the material goes. But it's the clock that can get you if you don't work fast enough. So just make sure you pace yourself. And if you see you're not going to make it, just bubble anything in that last minute. You may get lucky whereas you're assured no points for blanks.

Do not stress out about the time. You will have plenty if time. Look at the frint if your TEAS V book, it give you a breakdown of how many questions & minutes each section has.

I had plenty if time in each section to go back & review questions I wasnt sure of. A few questions in each section were quick, no brainers, which take no time at all.

Dont be stressed! Relax, you'll do fine!

The first time I took the test, Aug 1st, I RAN OUT OF TIME!!! I scored a 68.7% and was mortified!! I managed my time, studied for 60 more days and retook the test, Oct 1st, scored an 82.0%!! I am happy my score was better than that of the first time, but will study and take it once more... On a side note... I am very proud of my friend kymerm (genius) who gracefully scored a 92% and has been accepted into the BSN program!!! Way To Go!! Woohoo!!

LoloCo Did you only study from the teas guide???

I<3Cardiac · Nov 4, 2012

Yes!! I found that only the ATI teas study guide had the pertinent info I needed. I had also purchased other books, thinking the more books to study from, the better. This is NOT the case! I purchased two different ones by McGraw-Hill but they had questions that had us studying things we did not need like extreme science questions or math equations. Other books are NOT needed... Study the ATI book from cover to cover, take the in book practice tests, and take the ATI online practice tests (monitoring your time) and you'll do great!!
