How much time do I have to take the Teas?

What study exam booklet do you recommend? Take this from me you really don't need to invest in a lot of textbooks and study guides to take this exam (Don't waste the little time you have studying the wrong things!). If you want an A all you need is the ATI TEAS Test Study Guide 2018-2019 and ATI TEAS Secrets: TEAS . Don't go busting the bank on all these no name exam books.
Everything you need to know is right in this book. It never hurts to have prior knowledge before embarking on this study journey. Each nursing program lists different co and prerequisites before entering into the nursing program. Try to retain the information learned previously in those classes, It might just help. If you don't understand the concepts found in the ATI TEAS Test Study Guide 2018-2019 and ATI TEAS Secrets: TEAS or find yourself lacking confidence, I suggest going to youtube.com and typing in crash course. There are a serious of
science videos there that pretty much reinforce the topics covered in this book. Crash course videos, however, are a lot more entertaining.

Any Studying tips?
1) DONT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO STUDY
There is no possible way you can skim the book once and pass the test. Don't cram information either. My best advice to you is to take it piece by piece each day. Don't only memorize the big idea but memorize the details to. A month or two of studying every day would help tremendously and diminish stress.
2) BREAK IT UP The time pauses In between sections. Utilize your breaks and stretch your mind. Give your brain a break even if it's only for a couple of minutes.
3) PRACTICE EXAMS
Set a timer for your practices exams to simulate the timer that will be given throughout each subject. When you are doing the practice exams, set your own timer according to the time you will be allotted for that section so you can practice completing it in a timely manner.
5) SLEEP! SLEEP! SLEEPI can not stress how important it is to get good nights sleep the day before the exam. Although, anxiety might be taking a toll on you try to sleep. A good nights sleep produces better results
6) CARRY A SWEATERMost testing centers are freezing! Don't leave your house without slipping on a small sweater just in case
7) HAVE CONFIDENCE!
1 John 5: 14 "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us."
