On the off-chance that SOMEBODY on cm has taken this effen exam, can you please, please, PLEASE provide some advices on how you studied for the science part of the damned exam???

I took the exam before and didn't score high enough on the science section (particularly, physical and chemical science). Now, it has been a couple years since I've taken those courses. I don't have a whole lot of money (and time) to re-take these classes. The TEAS Study Guide doesn't help much. It downright sucks as a study guide, actually. So if somebody can please give me some advisement, I would so grateful!

Thanks!

Thank you for the luck, ourmsbetty! I will need it, haha.

I've gone to that site too. All it really gives are practice questions and answers but no explanation to anything. But thank you for your help!

I don't have any personal experience with the test, so these are just some ideas based on general experience with standardized tests... but perhaps they will help give you a place to start.

First off, the test publisher seems to have some official study material available for purchase including a Study Manual and Online Practice Assessment. The manual also seems to be available more cheaply from Amazon. Is that the study guide you've been using already without success?

If so, you might want to look at the books offered by test preparation companies. Sometimes they do a better job cramming review and practice material into an inexpensive, understandable package - with relevant strategy tips thrown in. There don't seem to be too many guides specific to the TEAS, but there are some comments in the reviews on Amazon about how useful people found the following guides to be when studying for it:

If you have some more time and remember the type of science questions you encountered when you took the test before, you might be able to go back to notes or a textbook from the relevant courses you took years ago to brush up on those subjects. If you lack both, you might trying picking up a subject outline guide, like Schaum's of Cliff's Notes, to help you quickly review.

Another option, especially if there is any campus community you can tap into, would be looking for someone who did well on the exam and hire them to help tutor you. Sometimes companies like Kaplan can also accommodate tutoring requests for more esoteric tests, but it tends to be expensive.

Hope that gives you some ideas. Good luck studying!
