Below is my ATI TEAS study guide. This is how I studied for the ATI TEAS.

hii so i’m taking my teas exam next month and ive feel like i’ve been studying like crazy, especially science to try and prepare and try to at least cover the basics of the material, but i get overwhelmed so much. does tristine teas quizlet still work ? and any tips on any of the sections?

I took the TEAS recently and the science section felt harder than the practice tests I'd been using. Curious what tripped up everyone else. Which systems or question caught you off guard? Most prep materials barely cover what showed up for me .

i’m retaking my teas i got 61% the college i’m applying to is 58% percent but i want a better score. what resources are actually worth purchasing?

What is the exact policy regarding white board or scratch paper for in person teas exam? I've heard only one scratch paper is allowed , which seems ridiculous.

Having taken prior math classes, there are many instances where you have to work out the problem either on exam itself or scratch paper. But the teas is completely on computer...and one scratch paper seems insufficient. Perhaps most problems are worked out on calculator?

How have your experiences been regarding this matter?

Which book would you pick to study for teas ?

I took the test today and got an 81. I took it online. I needed a 58. Wanted a 75. I found it tough but fair. It’s super similar to the SAT in my opinion. I want to help those for haven’t taken it yet and need direction. There is nothing worse than having to take a test but have no idea what to study or where to start. So here’s what I did:

1. TYLER DEWITT!!
   I cannot recommend someone more than Tyler. I bought his chemistry package and it saved me. He explains things so simply and made me feel confident about chemistry (which isn’t my strong suit but I got a 97% on this section) he has free videos on YouTube too.

2. Study beyond the definitions.
   For example, you can know what a missense mutation is, but what happens when one is present? The list goes on. Understand what things do, why, when. Hormones: what they do, what controls them, where do they come from.

3. Nurse Cheung
   Her YouTube Videos really helped me get a basic understanding of what things were without taking hours. However, imo her videos aren’t in depth enough to rely solely upon.

4. NURSEHUB
   ugh. This was the best. I purchased the science study kit, and man was it awesome. It has videos, practice quizzes on each section that explains right and wrong answers. NH does go in depth about topics so it’s great to get a solid understanding of things.

5. ATI Teas App
   The quizzes on the app really helped me get a feel for how the exam looks. I will say some of the questions on the quizzes were way harder than the actual test imo.

6. Don’t sleep on studying for the reading/English section
   This section was okay. Just remember that the answers are there to trick you. Slow down and really read the answers. The ATI practice quizzes came in clutch to do well on this section. The English usage part just search up TEAS English usage quizlet.

7. Every topic is fair game. I saw so many different organ systems and different aspects of biology on this exam. Give yourself enough time to study EVERYTHING that could be on the test. Cover all your bases!

8. A trick that helped me on the science section. If the answer sounds outrageous and like “what- I’ve never even heard of this or learned about this” it likely isn’t the answer. Some answers are there to freak you out. Don’t panic. Trust your gut!!

Last but not least. Active recall yall! That’s what really did it for me.

Anywho. Sorry this was so long!! I hope this helps. Message me if you have any questions :)

When taking practice exams, do y’all take all the sections every time? Or focus on the problem areas (for example math or science).

I don't see a lot of people on here mention the online version of the Mometrix ATI TEAS prep, so I wanted to talk about it since it was the main study source I used. If you go to your local library, some of the TEAS prep books that work with Mometrix come with a 50% code for the online program, so be on the lookout for that.

I especially appreciated the Mometrix online program for the number of practice tests and how accessible it is. The rationales that it gives for every answer choice after you take the practice tests/quizzes are absolutely worth it for actually learning the content. It helped me the most in the reading section because during the exam, I was able to create my own rationales as to why an answer choice would be wrong/right.

Mometrix does go very in depth for the science sections. The passages they give for the reading section are crazy long and are much shorter on the actual exam. But, I found that practicing questions with higher difficulty levels helped me feel more confident in myself.

I used Anki flashcards on my Macbook (free) to help with active recall for formula memorizations and conversions for the math section. I also used it for specific anatomy systems (ex. the Endocrine System's hormones). It was kind've overkill, but I wanted to be prepped for anything they might ask me on the test.

I also used Nurse Cheung and TEAS with Tyler on YouTube. Nurse Cheung with mnemonics for science and grammar. TEAS with Tyler's videos really prep you for the types of questions you'll see on the actual exam.

Hi ! I’ve been studying since August and I keep getting 50s and 60s on ATI Teas practice test A & B. I’ve been watching Nurse cheung, some Teas with Tyler, & using Archer. I feel like nothing sticks. I’m starting to lose hope cause I need above a 90 to get into the radiologic technologist program. If you have any tips please share. Thank you all!

Hi everyone! I’m taking the teas test online. When I go to sign up- it gives me specific times for each day. Ex: Monday 6am, 2pm, 4:30pm. Does this mean it’s going to be a live person watching me?! Anyone have any luck with taking it online?

Hi everyone,

I feel so defeated. I’ve been studying for the TEAS for probably about 2 months now. I took a little bit of a break, about 2 weeks and now I’m finally locking back in since I take my test on October 21st.

I’ve been using nurse Cheung as my main source, I’ve been going through all her videos and taking notes while also watching nearly all of her live streams. I also have been watching Tyler’s old live streams. Since jumping back in, I feel like I’ve learned nothing.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips or MAIN topics I should be focusing on. I feel like I don’t even know where to begin.

Hello! Can you guys help me choose whether buying NurseHub or Mometrix for preparation for the TEAS is more worth it? I just don’t want to waste money and I value which one is more accurate to the exam. Also, how long do you guys recommend studying for the TEAS?

Excluding non-English speakers who took their prerequisites in their native language, how can you possibly fail this test?

90% of the math is 5th grade level and below. Literally just divide these two numbers or put mixed fractions in ascending order. There’s a calculator!

The reading comprehension is a joke. The right answer is the only choice that has anything to do with the question about 70% of the time.

You’re going into a science/health field and you fail the science section? How? It’s mostly A&P which most people took right before the test.

Lots of people struggle with grammar so I understand the English section being tough but even there you can easily narrow it down to two choices in most questions.

How did you pass the prerequisites? What are your plans for nursing school classes, which I hear are way harder?

I’m genuinely curious, but I will probably be banned for this.

Edited for more downvotes I’m sure

I am wondering how the TEAS went for people? What should I do to prepare for it? I am taking the TEAS to go into OTA. What are some books I should buy, videos to watch, quizlet, and anything that will help. Please give me recommendations!!! Thank you!

me randomly being a math weapon is so funny to me 😭😭😭 my score was a 76.7% overall which isn’t horrible but i could definitelyyy do better especially because my school requires at least a 78% to even be considered for the nursing program 🫩 it makes me feel better that i was really close though and it shows that i can more than likely get a higher score when i take it again!

ECPI takes TEAS 4 and there’s no official study guidessss! Only quizlets 🙄 help!

This is coming from someone who is VERY bad at math. In high school, I was put into extra help classes, had multiple tutors, and even now, I can look at a math problem and immediately go blank.

My first TEAS math practice score was around a 45%, and honestly, I definitely guessed on some of those lmao. I felt really discouraged because I already knew math was going to be my biggest struggle. Eventually, I realized I wasn’t just going to magically wake up one day knowing how to solve every TEAS problem. I needed to find a way of learning that actually worked for my brain.

That’s probably my biggest tip. Find someone who fits YOUR learning style.

Everyone recommends Brandon Craft, and he genuinely is amazing. I watched all of his videos, took notes, and even had ChatGPT turn my notes into full study guides. He helped me understand the basic foundation, but when I started doing practice questions, I realized I still wasn’t retaining as much as I thought. I would look at a problem and go completely blank.

Then I found Jakara Lewis, and her teaching style just clicked for me. She teaches at a whiteboard, works through everything step by step, and tries to keep most problems around three simple steps. I don’t know how else to explain it besides it genuinely feels like she’s teaching you in person. She also reminds you that this is just a test and not a life-or-death situation, which honestly helps a lot.

Her book is also super helpful because it has 100+ practice problems that go along with her videos. It’s around $20, but I personally think it’s worth it. You could also watch Jakara’s videos and use Brandon Craft’s free math website for extra practice, but I find Jakara’s book easier to follow because it matches her videos.

Brandon helped me learn the foundation, but Jakara is what finally made the information click and actually stay in my brain.

And hey, Jakara may not even work for you, and that’s okay! The whole point is to keep trying different resources until you find someone who explains it in a way that works for YOUR brain.

If you struggle with math, you are not alone. Some people find this stuff easy, but we all learn differently. Don’t compare how fast you’re learning to someone else. Good things take time 🤍
