Tessthebest, thank you for that information. I also like that it is fall spring summer and fall, 16 months. We will be job ready 5 months in advance.

Tessthebest, the supplemental application isn't due on Jan 15, only the nursingCAS app. Utmb will send you the supplemental app after they receive your nursingCAS application then once u get that in the mail you'll have 2 weeks to submit it online.

I submitted my app to NursingCas as soon as the semester was over, and I'm pretty sure they've received my transcripts, just haven't processed them yet...ugh. Stupid form. Tessthebest, I just took the TEAS V a few days ago...the math and reading are sections are easy: simple math, as for the reading, pay attention to what they are asking, it seems pretty tricky. You're going to be mad when I say this, but there is no way to study for the science section. All the questions are completely random, and it's up in the air. Had a question that asked me what serum is made of--I have never learned that, that I can recall. So just go over what you can. For the English section, know simple grammar rules. I hope this helped.

CCtech, what did you make on your science section. and would you say it was mainly chemistry, or anatomy, or biology or etc? i really don't know how to prepare myself for this test. I brought the Mcgraw hill 5 practice test and i brought the ATI study guide but will that be enough to make well over a 70%

jshanice11,

My science score was awful compared to my other scores. Embarrassed to say it but I got like, a 52% on the science section. As far as what is mostly on there, I would say there's more bio questions; there's a handful of chem, a handful of A&P, maybe two physics question, and one geology. For the books, they are both wonderful. The Mcgraw-Hill Practice test book is really good. Do those practice tests! I would say the reading is slightly more difficult than the book, but the science is on point as far as the randomness goes. Math is the same, and grammar is the same. Just focus on the science more than anything. The ATI book is great for studying, it goes in-depth into the sections. If you do well on at least three of the sections, you should be fine with over 70%. If you have anymore questions let me know!

Just wondering if you are allowed to use a calculator on the math section of the Teas test? -----and still no update on nursing cas this is driving me insane!!

madallan · Dec 29, 2012

Tessthebest, you are not allowed to use a calculator on the math section. I strongly advise looking back over multiplying decimals and fraction rules and whatnot.

I just submitted my application today. I have a sinking feeling that this is too late. Has anyone else left it this late?

jshanice11 · Dec 30, 2012

i submitted mine about a week and a half ago but they just received all my transcripts that i sent off about 2 weeks ago and processed my gpa calculation, so i think you have time. as long as you submitted before the 15th.

cctech thank you so much i was really worried about the science section but all i can do is my best. i heard the reading section was a little challenging also would you agree?

Hi,

Would my transcript still be received even though I haven't submitted my NursingCAS application yet? (I am still waiting on references to put on it that a nursing school is requiring and their deadline is feb 1, however). I gave the nursingCAS transcript request to my school a few weeks ago, and my application still shows that no transcripts have been received yet.

CCtech · Dec 30, 2012

The math is so simple you don't even need a calculator, and that's coming from me--I suck at math! Yes, it is time-consuming, which is the point of a calculator, but I guess they want to make sure they don't take on complete idiots, you know? Luckily on the HESI A2 you can use a calculator, and I'll be taking that mid-January.

jshanice11, yes, the reading was a little difficult, and I consider myself to be well-rounded in reading and English subjects. You have to pay attention to the most minute of details, I even had to write some stuff down to make sure it was the right answer. Read the question twice, just to make absolutely sure of what they're asking.

I submitted my app mid-December and they've only received one of my three transcripts, and I know I sent them off in an orderly fashion, and I know they've been sent because all my other schools that I've applied to got them. I tried calling, but they're not really any help, they can't even tell you if they've been received, so I'm getting kind of nervous, too; I hope they receive them this week.

jh408 you don't have to pay in order for them to receive your transcripts, just when they do, submit your payment so they can send it off, you want them to get this done as quickly as possible.

CCtech · Dec 30, 2012

I got an 88% on the reading section, I was so sure I was going to get 100%, so stay focused on the passages, they do get kind of boring. Don't let your mind wander! When do you take it?

they should still receive it since the quick status menu is available even before you submit your application. its the holidays so it might take a little longer. but it should show up soon

cctech if you take your time on the reading, will you run of out time or is it unlikely?
