Teas V secret weapon

[SCMail]

Hi all, I am a student at a tech college in S. Carolina. I just finished taking the TEAS V and did fairly well; 88 overall, over 83 in each of the four disciplines. The advice on this forum is very good and the news about the science portion being tough is spot on. It is quite challenging and taking it "cold" will result in less than optimal results. I am back in school after getting a BS in liberal arts 25 years ago. I knew the science (especially chem) would be rough; here is what I found that helped. There is a web site called Kahn Academy.....just google it. It has over a thousand short u-tube videos that this incredible genius has done. Most of them are on various science and math. They are phenomenal. They are totally free to use and I have picked up no viruses from the site. I used it to review for basic math and really gear up for Bio and Chem.....the series on basic chemistry saved me. You may find it very useful. I know I did. Best regards, SCMail.

Hello SCMail,

Did you purchase and practice ATI online exam? If you did how similar is the science portion to the exam that you did? Is it more similar to the ATI book practice test or the online practice test?

Thanks for the tip. I love Khan Academy!

hi Ihkg74; No I did not purchase the exams. I did use the workwbook. It was of moderate help. In the science section, a number of the problems were more difficult than what the workbook provided, especially the chemistry. What I did do was take the book practice exam and any answer I got wrong, I looked up that subject in Khan Academy and reviewed it. Good luck. SCMail

Hi, I was just reading this thread and I would like to share my experience with the practice test online. The way it works is that you have two opportunities to take the test. So, I studied for a few weeks and took the test and scored a 60. When I saw the individual scores (science, reading, math: decimals, fractions, etc,and english) I developed my own study plan focusing on targeting the areas that were low, and that I definetely knew I could improve. For example, I knew I could improve in my decimals, so I started practicing with a timer (One minute per question). A few weeks after doing this, I felt that I was ready to take the real test and I took my second try. This time, I scored an 84 on the online version. A few days later, I passed the TEAS with a 84.5. All in all, the practice test questions were very similar to the real test and, as you can see, the results online were almost exact to those in the real test.
