TEAS V

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hello everyone,

The TEAS sticky is great for general TEAS questions, but I wanted to start a more specific TEAS thread for TEAS V.

For anyone who has taken both 4.0 and V, was there a big difference? If so what are the differences?

Is it okay to use the 4.0 study guide for V?

Did you take the online practice exams for both? Is it worth it to take the V practice exam if you have already taken 4.0 at least once.

If you took the V practice exams, how was it? Would you recommend it?

Please list anything else that is helpful.

I just bought the Practice Manual today. I am scheduled to take the exam on October 16th. Hopefully that is plenty of time to get prepared. I am not the best test taker. I need at least a 75% to be considered for the Accelerated Nursing program.

I just confirmed my test for Nov 5, wish me luck on this thing!

About to go see if I can register for a repeat on this test; not sure what version they administer but a lot are using this version. I just purchased the study guide at amazon already have Mcgraw off to study some more....

Well, just got finished with my exam. (TEAS V)

PHEW! that was intense! ((in my opinion))

my Adjusted Individual total score is a 78.7%

the National mean is 63.6%

the Program mean is 64.7%

88th percentile rank national

88th percentile rank program

I'm pretty happy with those scores.

Good Luck to all of you yet to take it.....it took everything I had!! and I'm sooo glad its over!!! :yeah:

Congrats Flutterbye. I have until friday, can't wait to be done.

For anyone that has taken the TEAS V on computer: I know the 4 sections are timed, but say a section gives you 51 minutes and you finish it in 40 minutes, are you allowed to submit that section and move on to the next one? OR do you have to wait until everyone in the room has finished the same section before going to the next?

I was hoping to complete the exam in a shorter amount of time since I am trying to leave ASAP from the test to go somewhere else. Nothing scheduled, but would like to get there sooner than later.

I took the 4.0 on the computer and I assume it would be the same as 5.0 and yes you are able to move ahead with time remaining there is a place on the bottom right that takes you to the next section. You don't have to be there the whole 3 1/2 hrs unless you want to.

Oh good, thank you. I am pretty sure I won't need the entire time alloted for the English section and the Reading one, based on the questions I have done it's going to be OK. I rather save my energy for the math and science :D

good job!! I got mine today !!!

I dont know how school evaluates the score. A friend going to Clayton State University told me that they go by individual section. Every single section must be higher than the mean national program. I dont know if it is true. BTW, I am applying to GPC, Kennesaw State, and North Georgia College and State University. Any one share experience in how school interpret TEAS V score, please!!

Hello everyone. I took my TEAS V exam on Tuesday, September 21, 2010. It is a very reasonable exam. The chemistry on it is not difficult at all - just playing the numbers game with balancing equations. The math is also very easy too.

My advice is to read carefully. It's all about how it is worded. I scored in the 97th percentile nationally and I have to say, I purchased the review book but it wasn't very helpful. Please do not waste the $40.00 - I highly advise to purchase only if you have not done math or science in a very long time.

Good luck everyone and I hope this information was helpful!

OK so as a pretest to determine what I need to study, I have completed the 4 sections of the 1st practice test in the TEAS V study manual (leaving part 2 and one of the online tests as simulated ones for later). I was not surprised at the questions I got wrong, as they reflect material (particularly in science) that I have not seen in a while - so now I know what to study. I was however surprised that I got 27 out of 30 correct in the math section (90%) and I found most of the problems quite simple. One question on perimeter I got wrong as a stupid misreading error on my part. The other two were genuine topics I need to review.

Is the math section REALLY this simple and straightforward?? I am afraid that there may be other topics that I should know.
