TEAS V Reading and Language dilemma

Published

So I finished studying for the writing portion of the TEAS V and felt alright with it and decided to study the reading portion next.

Holy cow.

I've noticed a lot of people who have taken the test have suggested to focus more on spelling, grammar, sentence correction, etc. And if that's all I have to worry about then that's good. But what about the stuff in the beginning about nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, subject, object, etc? Was that really a huge part of the reading section test?

I'm a little intimidated. I know my basic stuff. Like I know, run is a verb. What I didn't know words like is and was were verbs, too. :confused:

The toughest sections on teas for me were Reading and English, I score 80% on both. English is my first language but something about those sections are tricky especially the reading. Know how to locate main points, details and conclusion. Ordering the teas practice test was helpful. Good luck

Thanks Ellis02136. I've started studying from the TEAS study guide already. It seems like most people who have taken the test already haven't mentioned a whole lot about picking out the nouns, verbs etc from a sentence. I'm having trouble with that but if it's not a big part of the reading test, then I'd rather not put too much effort in that area.

Specializes in CNA.

for the english portion, they have more of sentence fluency, correct spelling, and punctuation. I didn't see much of clauses [independant/dependant] or difficult verbs, and such. Maybe a couple, but I had majority sentence fluency and spelling. The ATI book did help a lot with the english, though. So I would read up on it. especially the punctuation
