Hello everyone! I'm a pre-nursing student finishing off my first semester of college. My next move is to spend winter break studying for the TEAS. I'm not sure where to start though or what to even expect! So I have a couple questions, and if there is any other info you can possibly share to help, that would be great!
What will be on the TEAS?
How does the scoring system work?
What are some recommended ways to study?

Get the TEAS Test Book! It goes over everything and perhaps more than what is actually on the test. ATI also has some online practice exams that I found helpful.
The TEAS is broken up into 4 parts:
Reading- mainly comprehension based
Math- anything from basic sums to basic algebra
Science- Covers some basic Anatomy, Chemistry, physics and scientific reasoning
English- study your grammar
As far as the scoring system you need to contact your program and find out how they use the test scores. Different schools use the TEAS in different ways to determine if you get into their program. Some programs only require you take the TEAS and pass with the national Average (like a 68 percent or something) other schools like my program had a calculation they did after you got your TEAS score back to determine if you would be accepted.
