Not a problem, I'm happy to help! That's annoying that you have to wait so long to take it but more time to study I suppose.

The math was about 85% basic algebra and 15% percentages and other types of problems. The grammar and vocab sections were a little tricky because they asked you to find definitions of words using context clues or other information. The reading section was straight forward, just passages and questions about passages. The science section was the one I was worried most about because the amount of topics they could ask from is a lot. Luckily for me they didn't ask too much about physical science and earth sciences type of questions. They focused mainly on anatomy and bio questions. They had a few chem questions. They also had this ONE question that I wrote to ATI about afterwards where they expected me to answer a question that requires a periodic table but there was none provided. There weren't a lot of conversion questions between metric and standard systems that I can think of.

When studying, I started by taking a practice test and realized I just needed to focus on science so that's all I studied. I studied for about 1 week (barely) and 1 week seriously so maybe 1.5 weeks in total. I used mometrix university's online ATI course. It's $70 a month but they have this thing where you can try it out for 7 days and if you don't like it you can ask for a refund no questions asked so I made an account on my credit card and got a refund after the first week and then had my best friend make an account with her card and used that for another week so I basically used it for free for the 2 weeks. It was extremely helpful for the science sections but I also did random practice questions off of Google so I also recommend doing TONS of practice questions because they help you understand HOW to answer those questions. Try finding a website that provides rationales for answers so you can understand.

My interview was exactly 16 minutes (LOL I was freaking out as to why it was so short). These are all the questions I can remember:

- Why nursing and why now?

- What made me change my mind to pursuing a different degree from my previous one.

- If I had any thoughts on anything going on in the world currently.

- How I would resolve a conflict between me and a coworker at work if they were gossiping about me.

- How I would respond in a situation where someone wasn't happy with a service I provided.

- Why I think I can succeed in this program, especially since it is 12 months and very intense.

GOOD LUCK!

Yeah, they send you a zoom link.

Hi! I am so sorry to ask, but would you mind sharing what your stats were when you applied? (GPA, what you scored on the TEAS, etc). I am applying in June and I just want to know what kind of scores I should be aiming for.

I just had my interview yesterday, was wondering if acceptance letters were mailed or emailed and how long more or less it took for you to receive yours?

Hi guys! Congratulations to all of you that have been accepted. I am looking to apply to this program next year, so I was wondering if some of you would mind sharing what your stats were that got you accepted? I just want to know that I am on the right track.

Hey did you apply yet? I know you’ve been wanting to! Making sure you have!

Hi! I did apply, but they wanted me to re-take my Nutrition class, as it did not meet their requirements. They did not tell me what those requirements were. I decided to go with another program. Good luck!

Aww :(, what school? I read all your threads about how you wanted to go to TESU. Now I’m sad.

Hi everyone, can anyone provide me with some information on what a day/week may look like during the program? How many days do you have to be on campus? Approximately how many days per week are clinicals? etc.
