Gayle D.’s Answer

Greetings! I have taken the TEAS exam for the Cal State LA nursing school application. I studied for 2 weeks for a few hours a day, and went through the entire ATI preparation book. I am not normally "good" at taking standardized exams, in fact my SAT and GRE scores were barely average. After using ATI's workbook, and focusing for 2 weeks, I was able to score in the 98% percentile. I received an interview for Cal State LA, but ended up taking an offer to another prestigious nursing school. You can do this! Preparation is the key, and staying motivated and focused.

Yves’s Answer

Hi Joy, I have taken the TEAS 6 to apply for nursing school and my advice is to properly time manage each section and to give your self ample amount of time to study for it. Here and CA some schools only look for the first score so be sure when you're ready to take it. The study materials I have bought was the ATI TEAS prep book, it has helped me tremendously.

Jill’s Answer

Hi, Joy! My name is Jill and I'm a traveling registered nurse. The TEAS exam is an entrance exam to nursing school. In other states, it can be called the HESI exam. The TEAS exam tests your basic knowledge of English, Science (usually physics) and Math (generally algebra). The institution you're interested in applying to should tell you what subjects you need and what scores you need to be accepted. Usually the minimum score is about 70-75% in all subjects for acceptance into a nursing school. If you fail to meet that benchmark, you are allowed to retake the area you were unsuccessful in again, but you will more than likely need to sit out a semester or two for nursing school and/or reapply. My school put a sample test review textbook on its website so that students were able to study effectively. My classmates were able to purchase the book from either Amazon or the campus bookstore for around $25. I didn't study for my exam and I scored 95%+ on all subjects. Mind you, I had been out of college an entire year before I sat for the exam (I also hold a college degree in a non-nursing field). It just depends on how you study and grasp material as a student. Good luck! Please don't hesitate to reach out again with additional questions.
