Review of the TEAS VI A career choice to become a registered or practical nurse may be right for you. Nursing professionals are consistently listed as one of the most respected and trusted professions in the country. And, importantly, job security is rarely an issue for a nurse. In most areas of the country, there are reports of nursing shortages. To become a nurse, one must go to nursing school and pass a professional exam. Many nursing schools require their applicants to take the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS). As of August 31, 2016, the TEAS will be based on the Sixth Edition of TEAS Study Manual. This review discusses the requirements of the TEAS VI. Education for initial licensure as a registered nurse is provided through diploma programs, such as community/or junior colleges offering an associate degree in nursing (ADN) and colleges offering a bachelors degree in nursing (BSN). Most colleges require students who apply for admission to registered nursing, practical nursing and dental hygiene programs to participate in pre-admission testing prior to the admissions deadline for the respective program. The TEAS is an aptitude test. It is a four-part assessment developed by Assessment Technologies Institute LLC (ATI). It includes reading comprehension, mathematics, science and English exam sections. The exam is calibrated to the 10th grade - 12th grade level. Nursing programs use the TEAS as a tool to evaluate the academic readiness of candidates prior to admission into the nursing program. Test results are used in admission determinations. The exam assesses the candidate’s ability to respond and apply knowledge to new situations and to

understand complex technical material and relationships. The results also provide documentation useful for counseling and advisement. Some nursing schools also use the TEAS as a placement exam. The exam can identify students who struggle in certain areas but have the potential to be excellent nurses. Students can receive remediation in their weak areas to improve their skill level and increase the chance of success in nursing school. 1. Exam Background and Scoring The TEAS consists of a total of 170 multiple choice questions and approximately 3 ½ hours is given to complete the test. Only 150 of the questions are scored and 20 are unscored pretest items. The TEAS is administered in either a computer based format or a paper and pencil based format. The TEAS is not a pass or fail test. Students completing the TEAS exam are encouraged to earn a proficient score or higher in the ATI Academic Preparedness Category if applying to nursing. Each school has their own cut off scores. The TEAS score report does not indicate whether a candidate has passed or failed the exam. That means there is no passing score determined by ATI. Nursing schools have their individual cutoff scores for admission purposes and to maintain their standards. You will have to check with the nursing schools to find out their cutoff score. The TEAS score report gives a detailed description of a test-takers performance on the test. The following scores are given in ATI’s TEAS score report: 1. Adjusted Individual Score 2. National mean TOP


2

3. Program mean 4. Percentile rank – National 5. Percentile rank – Program

The scores for all the content areas of the four test sections are also given. Hence, the score report of TEAS is extremely descriptive. It gives nursing schools a chance to view your overall performance in relation to others. Whether a certain score is sufficient varies from one nursing school to another. As stated above, nursing schools set their own cutoff TEAS scores for admissions. Most schools have their cutoffs set around 70% for English, math and science and around 80% for reading comprehension. However, the weight given to each subject score can vary for each nursing school. Some nursing schools lay more emphasis on the national percentiles while others give more weight to the scores in science and math. The TEAS score report makes it possible to judge the applicant from various angles. Nursing schools may not publically disclose how they weigh the scores. Therefore, it is essential to score well in all sections of the test. 2. Exam Content The TEAS has four sections: English, math, science and reading comprehension. Each section will be discussed in some detail. English and Language Usage The English sub-test measures knowledge of grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, contextual words and spelling. The time given to take this section is 28 minutes. It has a total of 28 testing items, 24 of which are scored. TOP

It is imperative to test the language skills of students since it is the most common medium of exchange of ideas not only in education but also in your profession. In order to succeed in the coursework it is most essential to understand the language in which the instruction is carried out. Moreover, the study and the profession involve a great amount of interaction among many people. A good understanding of grammar and proper usage of English makes the journey smoother since it facilitates understanding and results in effective communication. The English section is essential to judge the basic communication skills of candidates aspiring to undertake nursing studies. Mathematics The math sub-test covers rational numbers, metric conversions, fractions and decimals, algebraic equations, percentages, ratio/proportions and geometry. This section of TEAS has 36 testing items, 32 of which are scored. The section must be completed in 54 minutes. These questions test the basic mathematical skills possessed by students. It is essential to evaluate these skills since the work of nurses involves the use of math and requires precision and accuracy. The math problems on the test do not involve difficult concepts; instead only basic knowledge is required. The testing center will provide a four-function calculator. Science The science portion of the exam covers human anatomy and physiology, the life and physical sciences and scientific reasoning. There are 53 testing items, of which 47 are scored. The time given to complete the test is 63 minutes.

Candidates are required to have a basic knowledge in science since many of the courses a nursing student will face involve science. The profession of nursing involves study of such subjects as well as keeping in touch with the latest developments in the field. Reading Comprehension The reading comprehension sub-test covers passage comprehension, craft and structure and the integration of knowledge and ideas. The reading section of TEAS contains 53 multiplechoice questions, of which 47 are scored. You will have 64 minutes to complete this section of the test. This section is composed of many different types of written communication and requires the student to answer questions based on a reading and analysis of the material. The material will be presented various forms, such as in paragraph format or classified ads, blog entries and opinion pieces. It may incorporate graphs and illustrations. The test requires students to understand a given text in different ways. Some questions will deal with literal understanding. Other questions will require students to draw inferences and form conclusions using their logical reasoning abilities. Students will be asked to differentiate between fact and opinion, strong and weak arguments and to integrate data from various sources to form conclusions about the author’s purpose and perspective. Students should bear in mind that they have to answer the questions only according to the information given in the passage and not by referring to any information outside the exam. 3.

TEAS VI Practice Exam – Math Answers with Explanations 1.

d - To add or subtract fractions, you need a common denominator. 2/8 reduces to 1/4 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 2/4 can be reduced to 1/2.

2.

c - To multiply an integer and a fraction, you do not need a common denominator. The numerator of the fraction is multiplied by the integer and the denominator is multiplied by one and stays the same. 4/1 x 3/7 = 12/7 = 1 5/7

3.

a - To multiply a fraction by another fraction, multiply numerators and denominators: 5/6 x 3/4 = 15/24 = 5/8

4.

b - The quotient of 348 divided by 6 is 58. If you multiply 6 by 58, you get 348 as the product.

5.

a - By the order of operations, you first carry out multiplication before addition or subtraction. 8 – 12 + 9 = x -4 + 9 = x X=5

6.

a - By the order of operations, you first carry out division before addition or subtraction. 18 – 23 + 33 = x x = 51 – 23 x = 28

7.

c - By the order of operations, you first carry out multiplication before addition or subtraction. A number multiplied by 1 will be itself. Therefore: 33 – 5 = x X = - 38

8.

b - To divide a fraction by another fraction, invert the terms of the divisor and then multiply: 2/3 x 5/4 = 10/12 = 5/6

9.

c - An easy way to figure this problem out is to convert the decimal by multiplying by 10, such that .4 becomes 4 and 36 become 360. The division of 360 by 4 may be easier for one to understand.

10. a - By the order of operations, you first carry out multiplication before addition or subtraction. 7 x 9 equals 63 and adding .08 equals 63.08.

11.

b - To convert from a percent to a decimal, divide the percentage number by 100. 425 ÷ 100 = 4.25. D is wrong because that just drops the percent sign, but that is not the right way to convert between percents and decimals.

a - Fractions are part over whole. The part is the two bananas and the whole is the 12 pieces of fruit. The fraction would be 2/12, but the question specifically states the fraction needs to be in simplest form, so b is not correct. 2/12 can be reduced by a factor of 2 because 2 is the greatest common factor between 2 and 12. The fraction reduces to 1/6.

13.

c - To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). 3 ÷ 4 = .75. Choice a happens often because the 3 and the 4 are combined to make a decimal, while choice d occurs when 4 is divided by 3.

14.

d - To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). 1 ÷ 2 = .5. To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply the decimal by 100, and place the percent sign at the end. .5 * 100 = 50%. Choice c is also correct because if 3/6 is reduced, the simplest form is ½, so the final answer is d, all of the above.

15.

b - To convert a decimal to a fraction, look at the place value of the smallest digit. .6 is read as 6 tenths, and the 6 is in the tenths place. The 10 becomes the denominator, and the 6 is the numerator. The fraction becomes 6/10, which reduces to 3/5. Choice c would be correct if the question was .06, because the 6 is now in the hundredths place.

16.

c - We need to figure out the ending balance for each person. Anna found 3 dimes, or a total of 30 cents, and after adding that to her $1.24, her ending balance was $1.54. Timmy’s dad gave him $1.25, so adding this to his $2.42 makes his final balance 3.67. Sara spent $9.24 from the $12.40, so subtract to get $3.16. Therefore, Timmy has the most money at the end of the day.

2 (192 ) = 128 3 20.

c - Set up the numerical expression first, and then simplify: Total purchase = 3(12.54) + 2(29.98) = 37.62 + 59.96 = $97.58

21.

b - Divide each annual salary by 12 to obtain the monthly salary. Then subtract the monthly salaries.

48,560.45 48,321.55 48,560.45 - 48,321.55 = 12 12 12 = 19.91 So, the difference between the monthly salaries is $19.91. 22.

b - To compare different numbers, the bigger number has the biggest digit in the biggest place. Looking at choice a, 25 is bigger than 5 since 25 has a 2 in the tens digit, and 5 does not have a tens place, so that would be 0. Looking at choice b, the two numbers have the same value in both the tens and ones digit, so we have to look at the tenths place. 12.124 has a 1 in the tenths place, while 12.214 has a 2 in the tenths place. Therefore, choice b is correct.

23.

c - To order rational numbers in increasing order, list the numbers starting with the smallest moving to largest. Imagine where each of the numbers belong on the timeline to help. The furthest number on the left of the number line is the smallest number. That would be -3. Then moving right, we have -.3, .3, 3. Therefore, choice c is correct. Choice d is in decreasing order.

24.

b - To order rational numbers in decreasing order, list the numbers starting with the largest moving to smallest. Imagine where each of the numbers belong on the timeline to help. The furthest number on the right of the number line is the largest number. That would be -.198. Then moving left, we have -.203, -.23, -.41. Therefore, choice b is correct. Choice a is in increasing order.

25.

b - Since ½ is bigger or greater than 1/3, we know that choice b is correct.

26.

c - Since Lily uses 8 mL each day, we need to figure out how many days will she use 120 mL. To do that, we need to divide 120 / 8. That will give us 15 days, so choice c.

27.

b - To figure out her account balance, she needs to subtract the purchases (debits) from the balance, and add the deposits (credits). She started with $129.23 and spent $12.87, so subtraction is necessary. $129.23 - $12.87 = $116.36. Next we have to subtract the 2.79. $116.36 – $2.79 = 113.57. Then she deposited $25, so now we add. $113.57 + 25 = $138.57. Finally, we subtract the $28.35 for gas. $138.57 – $28.35 = $110.22. Choice a is the net balance without taking in consideration the starting balance. Choice c is if you add all of the transactions up, without taking into consideration debits and credits.

28.

b - First, subtract the tax. $107.00 is 107% of the sale price, so divide $107 by 1.07 (107% as a decimal) which is $100. That is the sale price, but we are looking for the original price. Since it was on sale for 25% off, the $100 is 75% of the original price. Translating words to symbols, that becomes 100 = .75 * x. Solve for x by dividing each side by .75.

d - To solve, set up a proportion and solve for the variable. 𝑥𝑥 1 = 1,500 30,000 Take the cross products. 1,500x = 1 * 30,000 which reduces to 1,500x = 30,000. Solving for x, we divide each side by 1,500 to show that x is 20.

32.

c - To solve, set up a proportion and solve for the variable. Since the newspaper said that 15% of high school students are in band, only look at the number of students in the high school. Do not account for any of the other students. 𝑥𝑥 15 = 1,680 100 Take the cross products. 100x = 15 * 1,680 which reduces to 10x = 25,200. Solving for x, we divide each side by 100 to show that x is 252. Answer D is incorrect because it is 15% of all three schools added together.

33.

b - To solve, set up a proportion and solve for the variable. Make sure to convert the 2 weeks into 14 days before solving the proportion. 𝑥𝑥 3 = 14 4 Take the cross products. 4x = 3 * 14 which reduces to 4x = 42. Solving for x, we divide each side by 4 to show that x is 10.5.

34.

a - To solve, set up a proportion and solve for the variable. 𝑥𝑥 1 = 425 25 Take the cross products. 25x = 1 * 425 which reduces to 25x = 425. Solving for x, we divide each side by 25 to show that x is 17.

35.

a - There are 18 apples and 6 oranges. The other fruits are there as distractors. Thus, the ratio is 18:6. Just like fractions, ratios can be reduced in the same way. The greatest common factor between 18 and 6 is 6 so divide both sides by 6. The resulting ratio is 3:1.

Then the sides of the equation are exchanged. 197. a - Cross multiplying the proportion yields x = 70. 198. c - The perimeter is a + a + b + b, (a + a) + (b + b), (2a + 2b), or 2(a + b). 199. d - We can revise the side lengths to relate them to the first triangle as follows: a = 1(3) b = 1(4) c = 1(5) a = 2(3) b = 2(4) c = 2(5) a = 3(3) b = 3(4) c = 3(5) a = 4(3) b = 4(4) c = 4(5) So, a = n(3), b = n(4), and c = n(5), where n is a positive integer. 200. b - Each number is doubled, then added 1 to generate the following number. 201. d - The pattern of the scores reveals that in each exam he jumped from one range to a following range. So, his next score will be in the range of 90-100. 202. c - To generate the numbers in the series, a multiple of 5 is added to each term beginning with 5. 203. c - Starting from 2, the even numbers are subtracted. 204. a - This is a direct variation. Increase in n implies an increase in P. 205. a - Since A is constant, then by doubling “a” we must divide “b” by 2. 206. b - This is an inverse variation. Increase in x implies a decrease in R. 207. c - Since V, product of T and P, is a constant, then if P increases then T must be decreased, and vice versa. 208. a - The graph is a straight line and the correct answer is the straight line equation (y = mx + b).

213. b - Denote the first number by x. Then the second number is (x + 2). Sum of these numbers is 650. Therefore, x + x + 2 = 650 2x + 2 = 650 2(x + 1) = 650 So, 2(x + 1) = 650 can be used to solve this problem. 214. c - Denote the score of the third exam by x. Then (x + 89 + 83) ÷ 3 = 90 or x + 172 = 270. This is the equation we can use to find x. 215. a - Out of the given solutions of x, only x = 1 fits the equation. So, if (x − 1)(x + 3), then x = 1. 216. a - Both x = − 9 and x = 5 are the solutions to the equations, but they do not fit the equation at the same time. Therefore, r or q is true. 217. a - X cannot be both – 3 and – 23 at the same time in this equation. It can only be one or the other to get 0. Using “and” logically means that they are valid at the same time. The term “and” in logic has different meaning from the ordinary language. 218. d - Since all the members of the Hemingway Club are published author, then Olivia as a member of this club must be a published author. 219. c - Replace n = 15 in the general formula and simplify: 15 (15 + 1 ) 15 × 16 = = 120 S= 2 2 220. d - If we carry out the equation, we find that x – 1 = 0. 3(x − 1) = 4(x − 1) 3x − 3 = 4x − 4 4x − 3x = 4 − 3 x = 1 or x − 1 = 0

We can divide both sides of an equation by a number distinctive from zero. x − 1 = 0 does not allow us to divide both sides by 0. We can only divide by any nonzero number. 221. d - If we continue the same pattern, we obtain 37 × 18 = 666 37 × 21 = 777 37 × 24 = 888. 222. a - Following the same pattern we obtain (12346 × 9) + 7 = 1111111 (1234567 × 9) + 8 = 11111111 (12345678 × 9) + 9 = 111111111 223. b - Comparing each data point to all the tables shows that the data in (b) fits the graph.

A kilogram is a unit of weight in the metric system. 270. c - To determine how many pounds the kitten gains, first we need to figure out how many weeks go by between the starting date and the final date. 8 – 4 = 4 weeks. If the kitten gains 0.05 lbs. per week, we now need to multiply .05 by 4 which gives us 0.2 lbs. total. Then we need to add it to the starting weight, 0.8 lbs. 0.8 + 0.2 = 1.0 lbs. 271. d - First we need to figure out what the perimeters could possibly be. There are 14 pieces of fencing, so the fence could be 1 piece by 6 pieces (2[1] + 2[6] = 14). There could also be 2 pieces by 5 pieces, and 3 pieces by 4 pieces. To convert to feet, multiply the number of pieces by 5 since each piece is 5’. Therefore, by finding the area of each of the possible perimeters, we get (1 x 6) - 5 x 30 = 150, (2 x 5) - 10 x 25 = 250, and (3 x 4) - 15 x 20 = 300.

306. c - To find the area of the shaded region, find the area of the entire rectangle and the subtract the area of the triangle in the corner. The area of the rectangle is found by multiplying 9 cm and 11 cm to get 99 cm2. The area of the triangle uses the formula (b * h) / 2. The base is 2 cm since 9 cm – 7 cm = 2 cm. The height is 2 cm since 11 cm – 9 cm = 2 cm. The area is (2 * 2)/2 = 2 cm2. 99 cm2 – 2 cm2 = 97 cm2. Answer A is the area of the rectangle without subtracting the triangle. 307. a - Since the instructions say “regular” figure, we know that all of the sides are 4 inches. There are 16 sides, so either multiply 4 by 16 or use repeated addition to add 4 together 16 times. Either way, we get 64 inches. The other choices are if the number of sides are counted incorrectly. 308. b - To find the area for the partial circle, find the area of the whole circle (π*r2) and then multiply by ¾ since that is ¾ of the circle. π *42 = 16 π which is the area of the whole circle. 16 π * ¾ = 12 π. 309. a - To find the area of the composite figure, break it into a trapezoid and a circle and subtract the area of the circle from the trapezoid. The 5 represents the height of the trapezoid as well as the diameter of the circle. For the circle, find the area by using the formula π*r2. 3.14*2.52 = 19.625. For the trapezoid, use the formula ½ * h * (b 1 + b 2 ). ½ * 5 * (16 + 22) = 95. Then subtract: 95 – 19.625 = 75.375. While that is not a choice, Answer A is correct if the answer is rounded to the nearest hundredth. 310. c - To find the perimeter, add all of the sides together.

For the half circle, find the area of the whole circle (π*r2) and then divide by 2. 3.14*32 = 28.26. For the trapezoid, use the formula ½ * h * (b1 + b2). ½ * 6 * (6 + 12) = 54. Then add the areas together: 28.26 + 54 = 82.26. Answer A only takes into account the trapezoid, and Answer B multiplies the 3 numbers on the figure together. 312. b - In order to figure out how many pieces of wood Tom needs to buy, find the perimeter first. 2(18) + 2(24) = 36 + 48 = 84 ft. Then subtract the 5’ gate to have 79 feet. Since each piece is 5 inches wide, with one inch in between, we need to figure out how many times does 6 inches go into 79 feet. 6 inches goes into 1 foot twice, so 6 inches goes into 79 feet 158 times. 313. d - To find the perimeter, add all of the sides together. Since it is a rectangle, there are two sides that are 4 cm and two sides that are 8 cm. The only option that matches that is D. 314. d - To find a length of the arc, multiply the circumference by the fraction of the circle that the arc covers (angle/360). Find the circumference by the following formula: C = π * d. Plugging in the value for the diameter, we get the circumference to be 8π. To find an arc, multiply the fraction of the circle represented by the circumference. Since the arc is being made by the 90° angle, the fraction of the circle is ¼ because that is 90/360. The length of the arc is ¼ * 8π = 2π. 315. c- In order to find the area of the shaded region, first we find the area of the large circle and then subtract the area of the small circle. To find the area of a circle, use the formula Area = π * r 2. For the big circle, the diameter is given, so it needs to be divided in half to get the radius. π * 62 = 36π, but that is the entire circle. The area of the small circle is π * 42 = 16π. Subtracting 16 π from 36π, our final answer is 20π in 2. 316. d - Triangle ARS is a right isosceles triangle. Therefore, AS = AR. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem. (RS)2 = (RA)2 + (AS)2 (12)2 = (RA)2 + (RA)2 144 = 2(RA)2 72 = (RA)2 RA = 8.48 cm 317. a - Since ∠A is the vertex angle, then ∠B and ∠C are side-angles and are equal. ∠B = ∠C and m∠A = 40º Replace these equations in m∠A + m∠B + m∠C =180º. 40º + m∠C + m∠C = 180º 2(m∠C) = 140º m∠C = 70º 318. d - m∠A = 34 m∠A + m∠B =180 34 + m∠B = 180 m∠B = 180 − 34 = 146 BD is the angle bisector of the angle B. So, it divides 146º into two equal parts. TOP

If her bank account had $129.23 Sunday night, what is her account balance now? a. b. c. d.

$-19.01 $110.22 $69.01 $19.01 b - To figure out her account balance, she needs to subtract the purchases (debits) from the balance, and add the deposits (credits). She started with $129.23 and spent $12.87, so subtraction is necessary. $129.23 - $12.87 = $116.36. Next we have to subtract the 2.79. $116.36 – $2.79 = 113.57. Then she deposited $25, so now we add. $113.57 + 25 = $138.57. Finally, we subtract the $28.35 for gas. $138.57 – $28.35 = $110.22. Choice a is the net balance without taking in consideration the starting balance. Choice c is if you add all of the transactions up, without taking into consideration debits and credits.

a - To find the area of the composite figure, break it into a trapezoid and a circle and subtract the area of the circle from the trapezoid. The 5 represents the height of the trapezoid as well as the diameter of the circle. For the circle, find the area by using the formula π*r2. 3.14*2.52 = 19.625. For the trapezoid, use the formula ½ * h * (b 1 + b 2 ). ½ * 5 * (16 + 22) = 95. Then subtract: 95 – 19.625 = 75.375. While that is not a choice, Answer A is correct if the answer is rounded to the nearest hundredth. 310. Find the perimeter of the figure. Use 3.14 as π.

For the half circle, find the area of the whole circle (π*r2) and then divide by 2. 3.14*32 = 28.26. For the trapezoid, use the formula ½ * h * (b1 + b2). ½ * 6 * (6 + 12) = 54. Then add the areas together: 28.26 + 54 = 82.26. Answer A only takes into account the trapezoid, and Answer B multiplies the 3 numbers on the figure together. 312. Tom is building a wooden fence for his rectangular back yard. The dimensions that he wants the fence is 18 ft. by 24 ft., with one five-foot metal gate. Each piece of wood is 5 inches wide and 5 feet tall. Tom also wants one inch between each piece of wood. How many pieces of wood will he need to buy? a. b. c. d.

185 pieces 158 pieces 74 pieces 72 pieces b - In order to figure out how many pieces of wood Tom needs to buy, find the perimeter first. 2(18) + 2(24) = 36 + 48 = 84 ft. Then subtract the 5’ gate to have 79 feet. Since each piece is 5 inches wide, with one inch in between, we need to figure out how many times does 6 inches go into 79 feet. 6 inches goes into 1 foot twice, so 6 inches goes into 79 feet 158 times.

4 + 8 = 12 4 * 8 = 32 (4*8)/2 = 16 2(4) + 2(8) = 24 d - To find the perimeter, add all of the sides together. Since it is a rectangle, there are two sides that are 4 cm and two sides that are 8 cm. The only option that matches that is D.

314. What is the length of the arc of a circle made by a 90° angle? The circle has a diameter of 8 ft. Leave your answer in terms of π. a. b. c. d.

4π ft. 16π ft. 8π ft. 2π ft. d - To find a length of the arc, multiply the circumference by the fraction of the circle that the arc covers (angle/360). Find the circumference by the following formula: C = π * d. Plugging in the value for the diameter, we get the circumference to be 8π. To find an arc, multiply the fraction of the circle represented by the circumference. Since the arc is being made by the 90° angle, the fraction of the circle is ¼ because that is 90/360. The length of the arc is ¼ * 8π = 2π.

a. b. c. d.

16π in 2 36π in 2 20π in 2 128π in 2 c- In order to find the area of the shaded region, first we find the area of the large circle and then subtract the area of the small circle. To find the area of a circle, use the formula Area = π * r 2. For the big circle, the diameter is given, so it needs to be divided in half to get the radius. π * 62 = 36π, but that is the entire circle. The area of the small circle is π * 42 = 16π. Subtracting 16 π from 36π, our final answer is 20π in 2.

10 Test Preparation Tips 1. Start Studying 3 Months Before The Test - You have a lot of information to review to get prepared. Give yourself enough time to study all of it in a relaxed state of mind. Trying to cram your study in a month or a few weeks before the test will just create anxiety and even panic which is not conducive to learning. 2. Outline a Study Schedule and Stick to It– You first need to find out what subjects the test covers, then break them down into a study outline. An outline of the material will give you a birds-eye-view of what you have to cover and allow you to plan to actually study it. Include review days throughout the schedule where you review material you studied the month or two before. Include practice test sessions in your schedule as well. Once you have a study schedule established, commit to it and be disciplined. It will only help you, and give you the benefit of comprehensive study, if you actually follow it. 3. Study Every Day for at Least One Hour – Getting prepared for an entrance exam takes commitment. To maintain this commitment, it is best to make it part of your regular schedule. Plan an hour a day to study the material you have scheduled for the day. 4. Obtain a Good Study Guide – A good study guide is very important. It will give you the substance you need to know for the test. 5. Use Flashcards – Flashcards are easy to use and can interject some fun into the study process. Flashcards that give you a question on one side and an answer on the other are the most effective. Use them regularly throughout your study schedule. 6. Take Untimed Practice Tests Periodically to Assess Your Knowledge of the Material – Use the Tests.com Practice Test to find out how well you know the material. For the first couple times, do not time yourself, but use the test simply to determine your strengths and weaknesses. Focus your study on the areas of the exam where you had the most trouble. 7. Take a Timed Practice Test Periodically to Practice Test Taking Skills – Take the Tests.com Practice Test using a timer setting. Determine how many questions are on your state exam and complete that amount of questions in the allotted time. This exercise will allow you to get a sense of how fast you need to work under time pressure. 8. Tab and Highlight your Reference Books – Depending on the test, some organizations have open book tests, allowing you to use a reference book while you take the test. Most testing rules do not allow notes in the reference book you use, but many allow highlighting and tabbing. When you use a reference book during a test, it is important to use it in such a way that allows you to work efficiently and not slow you down. Place colored tabs on the pages of the book referencing the sections, so you can turn to them quickly and not have look up page numbers in the Table of TOP


261

Contents. Highlight those sections which you believe to be important and that will be subject to testing. 9. Meet with Friends who are Studying for the Test and have a Group Discussion - Your friends and colleagues who are studying for the test will have different strength and weaknesses than you. You can benefit each other by sharing information, discussing issues and asking each other questions about the information subject to testing. 10. Don’t Study the Day or Night Before the Test – You have prepared for months. Even though you may feel a bit anxious the day before the test, it is important that you give your brain a rest. During the test, you must be clear of mind and able to nimbly move from question to question. If your brain is tired and your eyes are having trouble focusing, you will put yourself at a great disadvantage. Do not study late into the night. You know the material more than you realize. Take the day off, go for a walk, a bike ride or see a movie.

10 Test Taking Tips 1. Get Good Rest the Night before the Test – All the study in the world will not save you if you can’t focus your eyes and your mind is cloudy due to staying up late at night to study before the test. Test taking is an art and you must have a clear, well rested mind to do well. An important tip, and the first in this list for a reason, is to get a good night’s rest the day before the test. 2. Eat a Good Meal before Leaving for the Test – Tests usually last a couple of hours. They take much concentration and mental energy. You don’t want to have your blood sugar level affect your ability to concentrate. Eat a good meal before leaving to take the test. Stay away from foods that would make you tired. 3. Get to the Testing Location on Time and Mentally Prepare Yourself – You do not want to get lost on your way to the testing location or leave too late such that you miss the beginning of the exam or even have to rush to get to your seat. You want to arrive in enough time to sit for 10 or 15 minutes prior to the test to collect your thoughts and clear your mind. Make sure you have the address to the testing location the day before the test, ensure you have the right directions or use a GPS system and find out beforehand how much time it will take to get there so you know when to leave. 4. Read the Question and Understand What it is Asking – A cardinal rule of test taking is “Do not read into the question and Answer only What is Asked.” Before you read the answers, make sure you understand what the question is asking. Do not let yourself insert qualifications into the questions or assume additional fact patterns. 5. Form an Answer in Your Mind before Reading the Answer Options – If an answer comes to you before you read the answer options, and the answer that came to you matches an answer option, TOP


262

odds are that the answer option corresponding to the answer that popped into your head is the correct answer. You know more than you realize. This is how preparation benefits you. 6. Read all of the Answers - Even though the first answer option looks right, read all of the answer options all of the time. One of the answers is the correct choice. All the information to answer the question is there. Read all the answer options to understand what options are available. You will find, while one of the first top selections seems right some of the time, a bottom option will occasionally be the right selection because it qualifies the answer in the correct way. If you just take the first answer that seems right without reading the other answer options, you will not get the benefit of all the information in the answer options. 7. Eliminate Obviously Wrong Answers – Some of the answer options will obviously be wrong. You can increase the odds you will select the right answer and work more efficiently by first eliminating obviously wrong answers. 8. Don’t get Stuck on Difficult Questions – Some questions will have difficult or complex fact patterns that require some thought or calculation. If you find yourself getting lost in the facts or numbers, or stuck on the answer options, such that you start feeling anxious that you are wasting time, take the following steps: guess and register an answer, mark the question with some notation that will tell you it was a guess, and come back to it at the end of the test, after you finished all other questions. 9. Pace Yourself - Don’t Work too Fast; Don’t Work too Slow – Time is a very important element of test taking. Aside from the subject matter, it is the factor that most causes pressure and stress. To obtain a good score, it is important that you have the time to read and answer all of the questions. Tests only allow a certain amount of time per questions. Determine what that time per question is by dividing the time by the number of questions. Pace yourself when taking the test so that you allow yourself enough time to read and answer all questions. You don’t want to work too fast or too slow. 10. Maintain a Good Attitude during the Test – It is important to keep your composure during the test. Having a good attitude will allow you to get through the challenging parts of an exam and avoid becoming down or defeatist, which could slow you down or stop you altogether from finishing the exam. Hang in there and have confidence. If you prepare for the exam following the preparation and test taking tips discussed here, you can have confidence that you will succeed.
