Westchester Community College Nursing TEAS 2021 Fall Semester/ Reviews for 2020

Published

Hey, anyone is planning to take the TEAS for the fall 2021 nursing program at WCC? Is there anyone who took it this year? How difficult it is to get to the program? How many people applied this year and how many got in?

Any info would be appreciated!

I got 82. Do not underestimate the English section. I only got 61 on the reading section, even though I though it was easy when I took the exam. I got 100 on both math and English, and 83 on science. Try to do best as you can on the TEAS. That is the only thing determine if you get in or not.

Congrats!

How did you prepare? Any advice? Resources?

I bought the practice exam from ATI. There are many people recommend ATI TEAS secret study guide, but I only use the Kaplan TEAS prep. You can just borrow them from local library, and do the free practice exam. I also used the app called ATI TEAS pocket prep.  It contains a lot of practice questions. Just do as many practice  problems as you can. Good luck!

I agree 100%.  

I studied from the Momoetrix book, as well as the ATI official book. Both books have their own advantages though. Momoetrix is more thorough with the science section which helped me alot. On the other hand, it was good to have the ATI book due to the questions mirroring the actual exam. 

I recommend taking a practice exam, even if you do it in sections.  The actual exam can be slightly intimidating if you are not use to long testing hours. You will notice the difference in your comfortability which can help alleviate test anxiety the day of.

Depening on your schedule, studying anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months is efficient. 

I can not emphasize doing practice questions. They help so much especially the ones with the rational.

Also, if you are a visual learner like me, then Youtube is your best friend. The Momometrix mathematics  practice test questions with the explanation helped me tremendously!

Lastly, the day of the exam try to relax and take your time( but not too much time) LOL.

Hi all, I just got my acceptance letter today.  I'm so excited to start this... it's been a long time coming!

Anyway I agree with previous poster -- I used Momentrix and ATI and did practice tests maybe too many times.  It definitely helped though and was pleasantly surprised with my TEAS score.

Definitely feel like it's worth the money for at least the ATI book.  Hope this helps!

If anyone else knows any other info regarding what to expect with WCC's nursing program, please share! I'm interested in knowing what courses are required for first semester.

I am so excited to hear!

Did they just send it or was it sent earlier?

I got my email a little bit before 4pm today.  In a follow up email that was sent out, Norma did say that this year was extremely competitive.

I was definitely thinking that it must be very competitive. 

All in all, I am happy for everyone who made it. 

We need mmore great nurses in this world.

If I have to take the TEAS over again I don't mind.

As a fellow LPN trying to make my RN dreams come true, keep pushing, don't give up and love what you do❤

Yes and from old wcc forum posts, they don't send out the acceptance letters all at once.  And don't ever give up! I'm 31 and starting later than most LOL.

I sent a late night email expecting a response tommorow but I received it less than an hour ago. 

Ms. Katz told me to wait it out one more week, so I will do that!

Thank you ladies for the encouragement!

Hey everyone ?,

I spoke to Professor Katz today and she told me that I am literally the next person on the list for admission.

I am on my toes right now because this means that if anyone decides that they are unable to begin in the Spring of 2021, I will be in the program. This is a great thing but so uncertain all at the same time. I pray that a spot does open up for me because I am ready! 

Guys, keep your fingers crossed ?  as I wait for any followup communication. 

Professor Katz also recommended I retake the TEAS to score higher for possible admission in the Fall of 2021. 

To everyone out there who was accepted congrats again, to everyone who was not, do not give up on your dreams!
