Be aware of when the TEAS scores are due for your school's admissions review process. By knowing when you need your scores, you can begin preparing for the exam by purchasing a TEAS study guide from a local bookstore or an online retailer that sells prep guides for standardized testing. The study guides include tips for the test to maximize your score, and you can take practice tests that come with the guides so you can be more familiar with the types of questions and with the test as a whole.
Familiarize yourself with the length of the exam and what the exam will consist of. You can ask other students and friends who have already taken the TEAS for advice and tips to minimize your anxiety. The test consists of 170 multiple choice questions that will take approximately three hours and thirty minutes to complete. The more comfortable you feel when walking into the testing room, the more confident you will feel about obtaining a 90 percent on the exam.
Take practice tests online, answer online test questions and study with other people taking the TEAS. Go to the Test Prep Practice website to take practice tests and answer online test questions on the reading, English, math and science sections. After completing the test, assess yourself on your mistakes and figure out what you did wrong. If you have a study group with other friends, you can all take the practice test together and use your collective minds to reinforce material you already know and ask questions about material in which you are weaker.
