Teas V Study Methods

lauraline · May 12, 2013

I just took mine and I got an 85%.

I used the ATI manual and the only thing that it was helpful for was the sample material and practice tests. On the other hand it does not really teach the material, except inform you of the basic topics that may be addressed.

In order to get a more in depth understanding of the topics, I used my old text books and notes.

Using the coloring book is fine, but I found that the A&P questions were more on the physiology end of things. For example, they will ask about function but not necessarily location of parts.

I had to review chemistry and physics, because its been a while. I took chemistry 10 years ago, and had my only physics experience in high school which was 13 years ago. But both subjects are only covered at a pretty basic level in the TEAS V. I studied it for like 1 day, because that's all the time I had, I ended with an 88% on science.

The most challenging part of the test was English and Reading. These just aren't my strongest subjects. I feel like I underestimated its difficulty. Some questions were very tricky. I didn't realize that an adjective could be an entire phrase. And there's so many ways to write a sentence, so my sentence fluency is not good. I advise to practice as many questions as you can.

Math was easy. It's straight forward and all you really need is just practice. I got a 100%.

I used khanacademy to review things. Quizlet was useless for me, the flash cards online were too easy. I also downloaded an app for $10 which was a waste. The actual TEAS V test questions are much trickier. ATI provides the best practice questions IMO.

I will be taking it this friday. Before I studied, I took assessment A online got a 65%. Today, I took one of the two practice tests in the back of the ATI book and got a 88%. I havent taken assessment B yet. Im stressed out right now.
