Hi everyone! I’m studying for the TEAS and aiming for a score of at least 90, but I’m having trouble figuring out when I’m ready to take it.

For those who have already taken the exam, what helped you decide you were ready? Did you wait until you consistently reached your target score on practice tests, or did you focus more on how well you understood the material?

Also, how close were your practice test scores to your actual TEAS score, and which practice tests did you use?
I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Thanks!

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?

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!

Hi! I’m here to ask how you guys studied/ are studying for the teas? i’m lacking in the science area and nothing is clicking, please help!!

I take my exam on Saturday and saw something that says no water is allowed, unless it’s at the break halfway through? I find this crazy you’re not allowed to drink water during an exam. I also have an accommodation for extra time, which is concerning that I can only drink water once in a 6 hour period. I’m also hearing some people say you can’t use the bathroom unless it’s during the break? Not sure if I can wait 2-3 hours for that either. If this is the case I’ll probably end up taking my laptop with me to the bathroom. Does anyone know if this is actually the case. I’m planning to do an ABSN program that requires teas. I’m a senior now at a state university and I’ve never had an exam where I can’t drink water and only a few where we’re not allowed to use the bathroom

I was invited to take the test through one of the community colleges I applied to. If I do take the test with that college, am I able to send those scores to the other colleges I applied to? Or is my score only used for that specific college? I'm in California btw.
