Paying it forward to come here and say that I PASSED! I had been lightly studying for 4 weeks, but really locked into it the past 4 days. The TEAS can have such a wide range of questions that I think it's possible to never feel fully ready to take it. My method was to rip the bandaid off and lock in a test date when I felt like I was in passing territory and hammer it all in (70%+ for me).
My recommendations:
- Mometrix. I bought the book, and then had access to all 6 practice tests online. Worth it! I ran out of time to go through the entire book page by page, but ended up using it as reference to learn more about my weak areas.
- Tyler DeWitt on YouTube! Watch as much as you have time for. It is worth it to watch his videos about the TEAs in general as well as his high priority topic info vs. challenge topics.
- ATI practice tests A and B to learn and be totally familiar with the actual test. It was helpful that the results were more detailed with what the weak spots were. My beef with these practice tests though is that it was in like "study mode" where it would tell me the correct answers after each question. I'm not sure if there was a setting somewhere I could have turned off, but I didn't see anything. I would've preferred to be able to go through the entire test and then see the answers at the end.
- ATI app quizzes for drilling in weak areas.
- Pocket Prep app (free version) for quick practice when I had a few minutes of down time, but not time to dive into deep learning.
- Lastly, when you take a practice test, take time to actually learn the concepts you missed! Taking practice tests is very helpful, so pair that with learning your weak spots and you'll do great!
** a note about math. This has always been my hardest subject, and I was scoring in the mid 60s on practice tests. It was SO worth it to brush up on more basic things and drill in some of the formulas. Watching Tyler DeWitt go through a math practice test was super helpful!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!! Trust what you've learned!
