TEAS V

So if you already got accepted what was your score on the Teas? I took it 2 wks ago and got a 74% :/. I was pretty disappointed but I should've prepare more for it. Now I'm waiting for Nov 25th which is when they'll tell me if I was accepted to Lpn program n then I'll bridge right into Rn program. (Keeping fingers crossed)

You definitely need to brush up on science concepts, life n earth science, it has some chem and def some anatomy & physiology. I found the science to be the most challenging.

Take practice test if you can on ATI manual. Study the science questions on ATI manual.

Doodles :)

Here's the thing - it's not advanced material. The math is middle school level. No calculators allowed, so you should review fractions, percents, ratios, decimals, and be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide all of the above in your head or on paper. The verbal sections are not particularly difficult either - you could spend tons of time memorizing how to spell hundreds of words; you could also just brush up on you 5th grade grammar and spelling rules... Know when and where to use punctuation; know which punctuation marks are appropriate. Know the differences between some commonly found homonyms. Make sure you know the parts of sentence, and make sure you can correctly identify the parts of speech. Basic knowledge, really, especially if you're a native speaker. READ! Seriously. Read well-written things everyday; or start re-reading a classic...louisa may alcott, or jane austen..or charles dickens. It doesn't matter, just make sure you're reading something that uses a decent vocabulary and proper punctuation.

The science is the most challenging section to prepare for. It covers plenty of BASIC anatomy and physiology, as well as some basic physics, chemistry, and earth science. Make sure you give yourself 9-10 hours to sleep the night before, and don't stress. I'd recommend the computer version, because it's graded instantly.. No need to wait on tenterhooks. The national average is in the 60s; I scored a 90%. I signed up for the test a week from the date I signed up. I didn't study as much as I could have - all I did was take the practice tests that McGraw Hill offers, because they were much less expensive than ATIs materials. If you are a poor test-taker, it is probably worth it for you to shell out the extra money for ATI - they will leave you with no surprises. But if generally test well, and have a strong general knowledge base, I wouldn't waste the money. If I cared to spend anytime actually reviewing the ATI manual's science section, I am confident that I could score over a 95%. Just remember - you ARE smarter than a 5th grader. :)
