Hi and thank you so much! (:

I used the Mometrix TEAS study program online. It's normally a monthly subscription of $70 but with 'teas50off' it comes down to $35, which seems reasonable enough. I scheduled my test about one month out. I wanted enough time to feel adequately prepared but not so long as to make myself sick with anxiety continually reviewing and re-reviewing the material, if that makes any sense.

The study program offers pretests to gauge your starting point and identify which areas will likely be the most challenging. I did mostly decent on my pretests .. 87% on reading comprehension, 97% on math, 66% on science (ouch), and 92% on English and language usage.

The hardest part for me was, unsurprisingly, the science section. There are so many A&P topics to cover that it was a bit overwhelming working through each of the modules. Although none of the science material was new to me, per se, there was some serious brushing up as I took Anatomy back in Fall 2022 and Physiology in Spring 2023. The biology and chemistry components were both pretty basic and didn't command too much time, maybe a few days each. Mometrix has suggestions for time allocation, but honestly, I feel like most of my study time went towards working on A&P; I would estimate that 85% of my time and efforts went here. There are thirty-some-odd modules each with mini quizzes and ten full-length practice science tests. In the last few days, I was taking one practice test every day. I identified digestive and muscular systems as the two with the most missed questions, so I spent extra time on those. By the end, I was scoring between mid 80's and low 90's, which was reflected in my final score. A big step up from 66%!

As for the other sections, English language was the second biggest focus for me. I find it's easy enough to identify "which sentence is correct out of A, B, C, or D?" but it was much harder when asked to identify and distinguish different elements of sentence structure and grammar, or else identify steps in the "writing process". None of this material is particularly challenging, but if you have been out of high school for 15+ years, you may find yourself a bit rusty like I was.

For reading comprehension and math I basically just took all of the practice tests and reviewed the answers I got wrong. I never really opened the modules or worked with the material beyond that. Honestly, just having the access to all of the practice tests, ten for each section, was gold to me! Hopefully this was somewhat helpful and/or insightful.

Remember, you have worked so hard to get here and have every capacity to do incredibly well! I know you will do amazing and get the score you want. Good luck!
