Texas Women University FALL 2016

Has anyone finished the nursing CAS process? I was wondering how long it takes them to finalize and send your application once all the transcripts are in. Thanks for any help!

Yes. Less than a week after they received the last of my transcripts.

I have finished the application. It took 5 days. I received a non-delivery notice because they discovered a college on one of my transcripts that was a "transfer" from another college, but in actuality, it is not. I attended a college that was part of a "tri-college" collaboration. We could take classes on any campus of the 3 colleges that were in close proximity and it was the same as taking it at our home campus. It is indicated by that on my transcript. CAS told me I had to get a transcript from the university where I took the actual class even though my university is the awarding institution for credit. Anyhow, I ordered the transcript from the university where I took the classes and it had ONE class on there, not all the classes I took at this university. Why? Because they never awarded me credit in the first place. Anyhow, I put the one class into my CAS application and re-submitted. I am waiting on the probable reject. I want to see what I have to do now.....

I had medical issues. I found out I had a four pound tumor encompassing my entire abdominal cavity. My first exam I scored a 74 over all with Science being the lowest at 65%. My second attempt was just weeks after surgery (at the end of August) to make the spring deadline. No surprise I did worse on all sections with Science at 33%. The first two exams I took at PSI were the same and much harder than my third attempt at another testing site. PSI uses a different version than everyone else. I hope this helped.

Hi,

Quick set of questions:- How do you go about taking the TEAS at other centers asides PSI? I currently attend twu/nctc...

Also, are you 100% sure that the PSI uses an entirely different version of the exam? I am wondering why they would if the exam is offered by one company-- ATI. Thanks in advance

Also,

I believe that starting from you guys' admission cycle, to gain admission into the program they took the GPA from the 7 core courses (A&P1 and 2, Dev psych, Microbiology, Chemistry, nutrition and statistics)... keeping that in mind, what are you guys' stats for these 7 courses along wiith your TEAS scores? I am applying hopefully by the spring of 2017 and plan to take my TEAS in January or so, I have been putting it off because I wanted to at least finish a&p2 and I have been scared of not scoring high.

Also, for those that have taken the TEAS, where did you take it and how long did you study for? I am really nervous about this exam.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

I am positive because I remember the stories in the reading section were completely different and much lengthier. I took the PSI Teas V twice...also the science questions I got were like a paragraph long and scenario based....

I took it a third time at another campus and noticed some of the questions were the same as the Hesi exam...easier, I flew through the test. It might have been a fluke but I doubt it. Twu emailed us recently and said their policy changed, we can now take the Teas anywhere it is offered. Twu also said that PSI only uses the "form E" whatever that means. I'm thinking the form E is another version of the Teas. Call ATI customer service, they will walk you through how to find other testing centers. Good luck!

I checked the ATI website and all testing centers are booked through January. I am not sure if ATI will be opening more testing sites before the 2/01 cutoff, but I wish I had read that tread about "test E" of the TEAS V earlier. I will be taking it at PSI on 12/30. Wish me luck.

I just took my TEAS last week at the PSI testing center and I must say the reading was a little bit different than the study manual and more difficult IMO. But after studying for it, I would say it wasnt too too bad. I have to say though, after I finished it, I wasnt very confident but when I got my test results it turned out I had scored better than I thought.

Does any of you know what TEAS score is a good, competitive score?

bearfur · Dec 20, 2015

An average in the mid-eighties and above is supposed to be good. Good good luck!

Thank you!!

I also have another question for those of you who have filled out the CAS application online...under program materials, what are you suppose to submit in the documents section? Like what kind of documents are you suppose to attach?

bearfur · Dec 28, 2015

You can submit things like transcripts but you don't have to. Basically it is there so if a school wants you to attach something, you can. Just leave it blank. My application was successfully submitted last week. Good luck!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Valerie, and I am getting ready to apply over the New Year weekend. I have a 3.55 overall GPA and I scored an 84% on the TEAS. I am hoping this will be good enough to get in! I am extremely nervous about this whole application process, especially due to the comments I've been reading regarding the NursingCAS. Looking forward to getting to know you guys during the application process.
