TEN STEPS TO PASS THE TEAS
Familiarize yourself with formalities. Where can you take the test? When must you register? Can you retake the test if you don’t get a good result? How much time do you need between retakes? Find out this information and plan accordingly. Check out our website to get started: www.testprep-online.com/teas-test.aspx
Take a practice test. Just how good are you at the TEAS? Use one of our ATI TEAS practice tests in Timed Mode to see how much you know. Taking a full-length TEAS test can help you establish what you need to focus on as well as benchmark your starting score. We advise that you take the test unprepared. Attempt all the questions. Make a note of your score, particularly what percentage of questions you got right for each section.
Create a study plan. Start by dividing up the different topics. You can use our TEAS subject webpages for topic guidance. Break the topics down as small as possible. Plan 20-minute to one-hour study sessions for yourself. Remember: Tailor your study plan to the time you have before test day. Make sure you aren’t learning things up to the last minute. Give yourself a few weeks to review the material. How much time do you need to learn the material? Be realistic; remember DNA wasn’t discovered in a day. How much time do you need to test your knowledge? Learning the material is only half the battle. How well do you perform on tests? Do you feel like you do well on tests, or are your palms sweaty at the thought of test day? Be sure to take extra timed practice tests to calm your nerves and to teach yourself to perform better under stressful circumstances.

Question 9 Yesterday, Bob earned $50 mowing lawns. Today, Bob earned 60% of what he earned yesterday. How much money did Bob earn today? A. $ B. $ C. $ D. $ Question 10 The pie chart above shows how fast drivers pulled over for speeding were driving above the speed limit. According to the chart, which of the following is NOT true? A. More drivers were pulled over for speeding 10–20 MPH above the speed limit than for speeding 20–30 MPH above the speed limit. B. Fewer than 50% of all drivers pulled over for speeding were speeding either < 10 MPH or > 30 MPH above the speed limit. C. More drivers were pulled over for speeding 10–20 MPH above the speed limit than for speeding > 30 MPH above the speed limit. D. More than half of all drivers pulled over for speeding were speeding at least 20 MPH above the speed limit.
The reaction above is the oxidation of iron. First, look at the number of oxygen moles of the products. Three oxygen moles mean that the oxygen moles on the left (reactants) must be multiplied by 3 and the oxygen moles on the right (product) must be multiplied by 2. This is done to achieve an identical number of oxygen moles on both sides. Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O After balancing the oxygen moles, the number of ferritin moles becomes unbalanced—one on the left, four on the right. To fix this, simply multiply the number of ferritin moles on the left by four: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3, which is the balanced equation. Question 3 Which of the following is carried out by the Luteinizing hormone (LH)? A. Protection of pregnancy B. Ovulation C. Menstruation D. Labor
The correct answer is (B). The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is produced in the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of the hormone levels triggers ovulation. Progesterone is secreted from the Corpus Luteum, and during pregnancy, from the placenta. A decrease in progesterone leads to menstruation, and during pregnancy the levels of progesterone greatly increase. A drop in progesterone in late pregnancy leads to labor. Oxytocin is produced by the hypothalamus and is secreted in large amounts during labor.
Question 4 Which of the following is spelled correctly? A. neumonia B. pnumonia C. numonia D. pneumonia
The correct answer is (D). Pneumonia is a lung inflammation caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Read the following passage before answering Questions 5 and 6. India's economy grew faster than estimated last quarter, maintaining pressure on the central bank to extend its record interest rate increases even as the global recovery weakens. Stocks, bond yields, and the rupee, India's currency, advanced. Gross domestic product rose 7.7 percent in the three months ending June 30, the Central Statistical Office said in New Delhi today. That compares to a 7. percent climb in the previous three months. The median of 26 predictions in a Bloomberg News survey was for a 7.6 percent gain. India’s consumption has "remained strong" because of higher salaries, while inflation may remain "stubborn" in the near term, the Reserve Bank of India said last week. Question 5 Which of the following inferences can be drawn from the passage? A. India's economy is weakening. B. India's economy grew more slowly this quarter than the previous quarter. C. The Bloomberg News survey overestimated the growth of India's economy. D. The Reserve Bank of India is undisturbed by inflation in the near term.
Answer (A) is incorrect because the last sentence states that India’s consumption has "remained strong" because of higher salaries, while inflation may remain "stubborn." The bank attributes the strong consumption to the high salaries, but it does not mention what is causing the inflation to remain stubborn. It can be inferred that this is caused by a different factor. Answer (B) is incorrect because the first sentence states, "… even as the global recovery weakens." Answer (C) is incorrect because the second sentence states, "Stocks, bond yields, and the rupee, India's currency, advanced." Question 7 The pie chart above shows how fast drivers pulled over for speeding were driving above the speed limit. According to the chart, which of the following is NOT true?
A. More drivers were pulled over for speeding 10–20 MPH above the speed limit than for speeding 20–30 MPH above the speed limit. B. Fewer than 50% of all drivers pulled over for speeding were speeding either < 10 MPH or > 30 MPH above the speed limit. C. More drivers were pulled over for speeding 10–20 MPH above the speed limit than for speeding > 30 MPH above the speed limit. D. More than half of all drivers pulled over for speeding were speeding at least 20 MPH above the speed limit.
The correct answer is (D). The pie slices representing drivers pulled over for speeding at least 20 MPH above the speed limit (20–30 MPH and >30 MPH) is less than half the entire pie as these are represented by the green and purple sections of the pie. Answer (A) is incorrect as the red section of the pie (10-20 MPH) is clearly larger than the green section (20-30 MPH). Therefore, this statement is true, not false. Answer (B) is talking about the combined areas of the blue section (<10 MPH) and the purple section (>30 MPH), and together they make up less than half the circle. Therefore, this statement is also true. Answer (C) is also true as the red section (10-20 MPH) is larger than the purple section (>30 MPH). Therefore, the only false statement is (D). Question 8 Yesterday, Bob earned $50 mowing lawns. Today, Bob earned 60% of what he earned yesterday. How much money did Bob earn today? A. $ B. $ C. $ D. $
