Tips for studying for TEAS exam

Published

Hi All,

I am finishing my pre-reqs to apply to several nursing programs. Any one know of any test tips? I tend to get anxiety with tests and blank out! So all advice is certainly helpful!

If you finish a section early, don’t rush to continue to the next. Go over uncertain questions, then use the rest of any extra time to relax/sit with your eyes closed/meditate. I essentially had a 30-40 min break (including the official 10 min break) during the test by doing this. Scored in the mid-90s too. I was so relaxed. I was the last to leave too since I took the full testing time to finish, but using your excess test time to rest your brain is worth it IMO. You can also scribble down notes (like area/math equations, grammar rules you struggle to remember on the spot) on your scratch paper during your extra time.

Do u get to move onto the next section before the time is up or do u have to stay the entire 4 hours ?

You can move to the next section whenever you want, but once you move onto the next section, you can’t go back.

Hi! This may seem like a basic question, but are calculators allowed? Is the test on the computer or on paper? I’ll probably be signing up to take it next month ?

The test is on the computer. Not sure about a calculator. I’ll be taking my exam the end of the month

The calculator is on the computer. The math section is really basic. I studied for a week and I got a 70 on the test
