Well, I took the TEAS yesterday and my score was in the mid 70's. nice score, but not as competitive and not what im really trying to reach. cause i need my teas score to compliment my not so competitive GPA.
AFter this first attempt, there is only one chance left! and then i would have to wait 1 calendar year to be able to take it again...
i did just fine in science and english usage part, but...
i did really bad on the reading and the math part(time went really fast for me)!... those two things....ugh, i hate them!
I'm going to study again for a few weeks and then take my second chance.
SO...im kinda asking for help!!
coz now i know i need to brush up on my math, and go over the other sections briefly.
but how can i improve my reading comprehension? Its been my weakness since high school...
I feel like ATI is making so much profits by tricking people with the TEAS exam. I have been trying to get into the program. I fail the first try and yesterday I took it again. I will see the results this week since I took it on paper. Hopefully I will pass it this time. Sometimes, I do not really understand why if there is a shortage of nurses, schools make the dream of becoming a nurse even more difficult. I do have a GPA of 3.76 and I have been on the Dean's list for about three years in a row. Even so, I have not gotten into the program yet.
Good luck to all those who are trying to pass this test!
I don't think the TEAS is tricking anyone. I found it to be well worded and not all that difficult. The ACT was much harder than the TEAS.
I bought the TEAS V Practice Test book on Amazon for $15 including shipping. I also bought online Practice Test A on ATI for $37.00, the night before the test which was close. I took and passed the test with flying colors and was admitted to the nuring program for Fall 2011.
I didn't do so well on my reading comprehension either the first time I took the TEAS. So I went to the library and searched for a Reading Comprehension practice book and I found one that really helped! It just basically reviewed the type of questions I will see on a test and then it had a bunch of practice questions.
Also GET THE TEAS STUDY GUIDE!!!
My TEAS score went from a 65.4% to a 80.7% and I have that study guide to thank!!
It is good you did well on the science portion, that was a difficult section because it is mostly chemistry and life science, not really anatomy which we as Nursing Students tend to spend most of your time studying!
My score really improved in my science portion because I found someone good at chemistry and they talked me through it all the night before the exam. I got a 100% on that section!!!
