UTMB Spring 2012

Published

Hey Guys!

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for all UTMB Galveston's Spring 2012 traditional bsn applicants. Have you all started to apply yet or at least looked at the application? What do you think? How are your personal statements/testing going? If you guys have anything worth discussing please post and good luck to all!

Thanks for the heads up! That's aweful! Im gonna have to see if I can log into the ATI website from my phone...otherwise its gonna be a LONG ride home...

Lol yeah when I was driving home I was thinking about the test like crazy and then when I got home I was like mhmm let's see if it's on the website and there it was! It did say that in 24 hours the score will be posted but in my case it was already there so def check!

Hi Everyone,

How many times are UTMB applicants allowed to take the TEAS V? If a person decides to take it more than once, which scores will UTMB accept the higher one I'm assuming OR do they accept the last scores?

Nervous about the test. :eek:

Hmmm...I received my scores right after the test. The assistant had printed them and gave me a copy. After I finished the test, I asked him how I could see my scores and thats when he went and grabbed the printed copy for me. You get a score for each section. Also, the sections appear in the same order as the practice tests from the book (reading, math, science, then grammar). When I was studying for reading I was having the same problems with the topic and main idea stuff but on the test they seemed easier then in the book. Good luck to those taking it tomorrow!! Let us know how it goes!

Oh and I read on a previous thread for UTMB that you could take the TEAS as many times as you wanted and that each time you took it, they would receive the scores.

Yes you can take it aas many times as needed, but they will recieve the scores everytime you do. They do not disregard the previous or lower scores...They are considered as a whole. Hopefully you do not do worse the second go around, because I have a feeling it would hurt you more than help you!

As for MY test I took this afternoon.....I MADE A 90.7% OVERALL!!!!

I am so super excited!!! HAPPY DANCE!

:dncgbby::dncgbby::dncgbby:

Ok... Im done... But in all seriousness, it wasn't too bad. I actually feel as though I may have done a bit better if I hadn't had to pee so badly halfway through! The testing center wasnt too bad....It is small and there were 2 guys proctoring it. I was in the smaller of the 2 rooms and took about 2 1/2 hours to finish. My scheduled time was at 2:30pm and I showed up right at 1pm and they let me go ahead and start!

Made a 90.5% in Reading, 86.7% in Math, a 91.7% in Science, and a 93.3% in English....which was pretty funny considering Math is normally my "strong" area. The score report they printed out for me breaks everything down. Its pretty awesome!

CONGRATS!!! Those are really really good scores.:yeah:

Would you say the ATI Book, practice tests in the ATI book, or the online practice tests helped?

Fantastic! Job well done. Now thats how u take a teas test. I hope I can make a great score like that.

I honestly don't think I would have done that well without that practice book! It helped a lot. I have been out of school for a while and it really helped get with certain things that I had forgotten. I really only looked at it for about 4 or 5 days a couple hours at a time though. I was scoring around 88-92 on the practice test in the back of the book so those are pretty consistent in my case.

I really hope its enough to get me an interview... I will be finishing up my personal statement and uploading my unoffical transcripts tomorrow so I can send off my app....

Hi guys! I'm also applying for the UTMB Spring '12 program. I completed my application Friday and it showed up today as complete, so I'm just praying for an interview soon!

I took the TEAS back in April and got a decent score...within the 'competitive' range for UTMB according to ******. I bought the study guide, but never even opened it because I was so overwhelmed with work/school in the spring. I am now kicking myself in the butt because of that, but still keeping my fingers crossed!

Anyways, good luck to all! :)

Hello, all!

I'm also applying for Spring 2012. This will be my 1st (and prayerfully, my last!:D) attempt of the TEAS V. I'll take it on 06.07. Good luck to everyone!
