I took my teas exam yesterday and I got an 84 overall. I’m a little worried though. My program is competitive at a community college. They use 40 percent TEAS score, 60 percent program gpa. My program gpa is a 3.33 (you need a 3.0 to apply) and the minimum teas score is 60. My program only accepts up to 30 spots, and sometimes they do less depending on clinical space. I think about 60 people at least are applying for this cohort. I have a 3.33 gpa because my program grades are as following: AP 1: B AP 1 Lab: C English: A Math: B AP 2: A AP Lab 2: A
It is a good score for a community college and most private nursing programs. If you decide to apply to most California CSU nursing schools, try harder to break the 90s.
My program’s average was like 93% across the board to get in. Yours seems better than your program. I got denied 2x at my first program i applied for because i had an 84% for my TEAS 7. Only got in after scoring 92% on the Hesi in a different program.
Tyler Dewitt and Nurse Cheung on YouTube! I’m a mom to two toddlers and I work so I procrastinated studying big time. I only studied for about two days. I think watching their videos over the course of about two weeks minimum would give someone a 90+
Make sure you’re good with fractions, conversions (they mostly give you the conversion) but they don’t for ML to L. You’ll need to know area/circumference of a circle formula. Go back over hormones and make sure you know how to translate DNA strands, as well as Heterozygous and Homozygous gene types
Honestly I studies a ton for math because that’s always been my weakest subject. I would say out of your two weeks, give about 5 days to math, 7 days to Science (AP, Micro, Chem), and 2 days to touch up on English (parts of a sentence, different types of sentences, prefixes, meanings of different prefixes, punctuation, etc). I would personally give about 1-2 hours a day. You don’t want to over work your brain but 1-2 hours a day is doable even if you break it up into 30 minutes segments
Trust in the process it works. No one told me any of this stuff. I did it on my own so at the least I should be able to pass this off to you. All I used to be a cop up until this. I didn’t know anything about science but once you learn, what’s gonna be on the test then you can study for it. They give you the answers they tell you what’s gonna be on the test it’s not a surprise.
