How to Prepare

1
Take a diagnostic first
Before studying, take a full-length TEAS practice test to identify your weakest sections. Science typically has the highest impact on composite score.
2
Target Science and Math
Science (A&P and biology) and Math (algebra and measurement) are where most students lose the most points. Focus your first 3 weeks here before reviewing Reading and English.
3
Simulate test conditions
Timed practice under realistic conditions trains your pacing and stamina. The TEAS is 3.5 hours long. Students who only practice in short sessions often underperform on test day due to fatigue.
