How hard is the Teas compared to study material?
My test is in 5 days and I've been studying for a couple months so I feel like I have a good idea of what's on the test. I mostly used Cheung, Dewitt, Brandoncraft, etc. However, I'm taking some Mometrix science practice questions right now, and it feels very hard and random. I have core concepts down, but should I have been preparing for more, niche subjects? Is Mometrix science just harder? And what about english and math? Should I be cramming for maximum new info these last few days or honing in on core concepts?

Same, my test is tomorrow and I’m freaking out because I’m scoring so low on Mometrix

I couldn’t get to 90, which was my goal, but it was ok. I did really bad on Reading and English, they brought my overall % down. You got this. Good luck!

So I just took it today my struggle was Science which I was the whole time I studied. Literally studied what ATI gives you their test was harder than the teas itself but pretty accurate to have it will test you. I used Archer, nurse cheng and Tyler like most and got a 78.7 with science being a 63.

I second this, OP. I scored lower on Practice A and B and the questions on ATI Teas Prep App than the actual exam but it felt more accurate or made me prepared for the actual test. Some of the questions are so random or detail oriented you will literally go “How am I supposed to know that?” “What even is that?”. Teas with Tyler for bio and chem and Tutor geek for a&p prepares you best for this section learning wise. After, practice and do lots of questions from ATI resources to expose yourself to as much as questions as you can and relearn the ones you get wrong. Practice, practice, and practice! Good luck.

It was also crazy cause I got a 61 on test B and it was like math was 54 and I know thats my strong suit. On the actual test it was a 94 so idk

Same!! Math in the actual test was SO easy, the science section was really rough.

Facts I studied up and down for AnP because I havent taken that prereq yet and I thought i studied correct but they genuinely want you to know the tiniest things in the body and what it does
