The TEAS® 7, or Test of Essential Academic Skills™ Version 7, is a standardized entrance exam used by nursing schools and allied health programs. The test is meant to indicate to the school whether you’re prepared and have the skills needed to succeed in their programs before you start. Why is the TEAS® exam important? The TEAS® exam is a critical component of the nursing school application process, as it evaluates a candidate’s preparedness for entering a nursing program. Many nursing schools require applicants to achieve a minimum TEAS® score as part of their admission criteria. What subjects are tested? The TEAS® is composed of 4 main subject areas, each further divided into specific sub-content areas: 1. Reading Key ideas and details Craft and structure Integration of knowledge & ideas 2. Math Numbers and algebra Measurement and data 3. Science Human anatomy & physiology Biology Chemistry Scientific reasoning 4. English and Language Usage Conventions of standard English Knowledge of language Using language and vocabulary to express ideas in writing How many questions are on the test? There are 150 scored questions and 20 unscored questions on the TEAS® exam for a total of 170 total questions. Note that you won’t know which questions are scored during your actual exam. These unscored questions are mixed in with the others, so you should approach every question as if it counts towards your final score. Here’s the breakdown by subject: Reading: 45 total questions (39 scored + 6 unscored) Key ideas and details (15) Craft and structure (9) Integration of knowledge & ideas (15) Math: 38 questions (34 scored + 4 unscored) Numbers and algebra (18) Measurement and data (16) 4  NurseHub.com is the best place to study for the TEAS® Science: 50 questions (44 scored + 6 unscored) Human anatomy & physiology (18) Biology (9) Chemistry (8) Scientific reasoning (9) English and Language Usage: 37 questions (33 scored + 4 unscored) Conventions of standard English (12) Knowledge of language (11) Using language and vocabulary to express ideas in writing (10) How much time do I have to finish? There is a time limit for each section of the exam: Reading: 55 minutes (45 questions) Math: 57 minutes (38 questions) Science: 60 minutes (50 questions) ELU: 37 minutes (37 questions) The total time for the exam is 209 minutes, which is just under 3.5 hours. With 170 questions in 209 minutes, you have about 1 minute and 13 seconds per question. Time is limited, so preparation is key. That’s why NurseHub’s TEAS prep includes 10 full test simulations for each subject (40 total) and thousands of practice questions to boost your accuracy and speed. Are all the questions multiple-choice? The test consists mostly of multiple-choice questions. But there are 4 new question types that have been added to the TEAS® 7. Multiple Select: There will be 4 or more answer choices, and there may be more than one correct option. The question will instruct you to “select all that apply.” Be careful because any incorrect choices selected or any correct options left unselected will lead to the question being marked as incorrect. Fill in the Blank: You will not be provided any answer options. These questions test your knowledge and ability to recall information without being guided by the provided options. Hot Spot: You will be given an image with 2 - 5 clickable hotspots. Click on the area that the question is asking about to answer these correctly. Ordered Response: These questions ask you to accurately arrange a set of provided responses. Each question will present you with 4 - 6 responses, which you must carefully drag and place from a box on the left to a corresponding box on the right. How do I register to take the exam? You can sign up for the TEAS® on ATI’s website. When should I schedule my exam? When scheduling your TEAS® exam, it’s advisable to plan for at least 6 weeks of studying, as recommended by ATI. This time frame allows you to thoroughly prepare for the various sections of the exam. Additionally, consider that score reports take 72 hours to post after taking the test. This could be crucial if you have application deadlines to meet. So, when determining the best time to schedule your exam, factor in at least 6 weeks for preparation and an additional 3 days for the score report. Align this with the deadlines and requirements of the nursing programs you are applying to in order to maximize your chances of success. 5  NurseHub.com is the best place to study for the TEAS® Can I take the TEAS® at home? Yes, you can take the TEAS® at home online, or in-person at your school or nearest PSI Testing Center. If you take it at home, you’ll need a computer with a webcam and microphone and a stable internet connection. A remote proctor will monitor you through your computer’s webcam to ensure the integrity of the exam. Before you begin, you may also need to show your workspace to the proctor, so make sure to have everything set up according to the guidelines provided by the testing agency. Can I reschedule my test? Rescheduling your exam depends on the location of your test. Here’s an overview: Online: Rescheduling or refunding is not possible without documented proof of an emergency. Once purchased, the date is final. In case of emergencies like death in the family or medical issues, exceptions can be made by contacting [email protected] with detailed information and documentation. At your school: Similar to at-home exams, rescheduling or refunding requires a documented emergency. Contact [email protected] with the required details. At a PSI Testing Center: You can reschedule your exam up to 48 hours before the start date/time via the ATI website or by calling PSI Candidate Services at 833-537-1330. How much does it cost to sit for the exam? The cost to take the TEAS® can vary depending on the location and institution, with prices typically ranging from $60 to $140. It’s advisable to check with the specific testing center or the school to which you are applying, as they may have additional fees or offer discounts for their students. Is the TEAS® proctored? Yes, the TEAS® is always proctored, whether you take it online, at your school, or at a PSI Testing Center. Online: If you choose to take the test at home, a remote proctor will monitor you through your computer’s webcam to ensure the integrity of the exam. At school: You’ll be in a room with a live proctor present to oversee the exam. At a PSI Testing Center: You’ll be in a room with a live proctor present to oversee the exam. Proctoring is used to maintain the security and fairness of the test, so all examinees are monitored during the examination process. Can I take bathroom breaks? You are allowed a 10-minute bathroom break after completing the Mathematics section. During this break, you cannot access personal items like cell phones or notes, and taking excessive time may lead to a review of your exam. After the break, you can proceed to the Science section. The exam sections follow this order: Reading, Mathematics, Science, and English and Language Usage. Is scratch paper allowed? Yes, but only 1 piece. If you test on location, you will be given 1 piece of scratch paper. If you test at home, you are allowed to use scratch paper, but you must show it to the online proctor, including the amount of scratch paper you have. 6  NurseHub.com is the best place to study for the TEAS® Can I use a calculator? Yes, most schools permit the use of a calculator during the test, but you cannot bring your own. Instead, you will be provided with a basic four-function (add, subtract, multiply, divide) calculator on your screen, similar to the calculator app on your phone or computer. What should I bring on test day? You’ll want to bring some essential items with you, including: 1. Valid Photo ID: This could be a driver’s license, passport, or other government-issued identification with your photograph and signature. It’s used to verify your identity. 2. Admission Ticket or Confirmation: If applicable, bring the admission ticket or confirmation email you received when you registered for the test. 3. Water and Snacks: Depending on the test center’s policy, you may be able to bring water and snacks for breaks. Note: Personal items such as bags, mobile phones, calculators (unless provided by the test center), and other electronic devices are typically not allowed in the testing room. There may be designated areas to store these items during the test, but it’s best to check with the testing center ahead of time. When will I get my results? Scores should be posted within 48 business hours. If you are testing at a PSI testing center, your results can take up to 72 business hours to appear in your account. Can I submit my scores to multiple programs? Yes, you can send your scores to more than one school by purchasing additional transcripts or Transcript Credits through ATI. You will see an option to send transcripts below your TEAS exam results. How is the TEAS® scored? Your TEAS® score report will include three types of scores, each calculated differently: 1. Total Score: This score is calculated using a method called equating. Some questions are weighted more heavily, and the total score reflects a combination of easier and harder questions. It’s the overall measure of how you performed on the entire exam. 2. Content Area Scores: These scores are calculated in the same way as the total score but are specific to each of the four main content areas (Reading, Math, Science, and English). They show how well you did in each subject. 3. Sub-Content Area Scores: These scores represent the percentage of questions you answered correctly in specific sub-areas within the content areas. For example, if you answer 4 out of 8 chemistry questions correctly, your Chemistry Sub-Content Area score would be 50%. In summary, all these scores range from 0% to 100%, but they’re calculated differently. The Total and Content Area Scores, in particular, are adjusted to give more weight to more challenging questions. What is considered a passing score? A passing score for the TEAS® test varies by school, and you should contact your school directly to find out the specific score that is considered passing. Most schools typically require at least a 70%. However, it’s important to note that merely achieving a passing grade may not be enough, as some schools admit students based on the highest scores. Therefore, you should aim for the highest score possible, not just the minimum passing grade. 7  NurseHub.com is the best place to study for the TEAS® How many people fail the TEAS®? According to the makers of the exam, 40% of people fail the TEAS® on their first attempt. What happens if I fail? If you fail the TEAS®, it’s important not to be too discouraged. Here’s what you should do before retaking your exam: Research Retake Opportunities: Many schools and testing centers allow you to retake the TEAS after a waiting period. Be sure to check with your specific institution for their retake policy, as it may vary. Evaluate Your Performance: Review your score report to identify areas where you may need improvement. Focus on those areas in your study preparation for the next attempt. Consider Your Options: Talk to the admissions office of the school you’re applying to. Depending on the school, a lower score may not necessarily disqualify you from admission.

How many times can I take it? The number of times you can take the ATI TEAS® exam depends on individual nursing or allied health school policies. While ATI doesn’t set a limit on attempts, many schools do. Some institutions allow multiple retakes, possibly with a waiting period in between, such as 30 days or even 1 year. You should consult directly with the schools you’re interested in for their specific guidelines. Will I see the same questions if I retake the exam? ATI uses multiple versions of the TEAS® test, so you will not encounter the same test twice. However, each variation follows the same structure and breakdown. What’s the biggest mistake students make on the TEAS? 40% of students take the TEAS® test more than once, often due to not properly reviewing the concepts before taking the exam. By downloading this PDF, you’re already avoiding the biggest mistake people make, which is to not adequately prepare for the exam. How long should I study? It varies from person to person. While ATI recommends allocating 6 weeks for preparation, the actual time needed largely depends on your familiarity with the material. Some have succeeded with just a week of studying, while most need 3 months to properly prepare. Either way, you are starting on the right path with this free practice test, as it will help you identify areas needing more focus, which will guide your study plan. 8  NurseHub.com is the best place to study for the TEAS® What is the best way to study for the TEAS®?

We make our practice tests as close as possible to the real TEAS® 7 exam so you are as prepared as possible when you take it. NurseHub teaches you all of the concepts that you will see on the exam so you feel prepared and confident going in. Can’t I just read study guides? Study guides are a fine resource, but they fall short in 6 areas: 1. Paperback study guides cannot simulate the real testing experience. NurseHub’s simulations, unlike written tests in books, mirror the look and feel of the actual computerized exam, offering a true-to-life preparation experience. 2. Traditional study guides can be cumbersome and slow to navigate. NurseHub’s digital platform is easy to navigate between specific subjects and skills, allowing quick access to lessons, practice questions, and detailed answers without flipping through pages. 3. Paperback guides are often bulky and lack the flexibility to include comprehensive content. NurseHub’s online resources are not only more convenient, but have been designed to cover the full range of topics and skills that are tested on the TEAS®. 4. Study guides are usually updated only once a year, risking outdated content if the test changes mid-year. NurseHub consistently updates our material to ensure relevance, so you always have access to the most current information. 5. Study guides don’t support everyone’s unique learning styles. NurseHub’s TEAS® courses include easy- to-follow video lessons, interactive elements, downloadable resources, and thousands of practice questions with in-depth answer explanations that allow you to use what works best for you. 6. You’re on your own with study guides. Have you ever tried contacting a book publisher? It’s impossible. NurseHub’s Learner Success team is available 24/7 to answer all of your questions and is dedicated to helping you pass the TEAS® on your first try. What about the free stuff I found online? The problem with free stuff you find online is that there are no guarantees that it is accurate, up-to-date, or good enough to help you pass on your first try. We talk to folks every day who failed on their first try because they relied solely on the free stuff they found online, but they were ultimately underprepared. Don’t risk being surprised and disappointed on test day. By signing up with NurseHub, you can rest easy knowing you have exactly what you need in order to pass on your first try. What happens after I sign up for NurseHub? Immediately after completing our secure checkout, you will be automatically signed in to your account.

However, researchers have observed octopuses to be startlingly brilliant creatures. Octopuses have displayed curious behavior, such as pulling out loose tank valves, opening jars, and escaping their tanks when no one was watching. In 2010, a German octopus named Paul was even said to have correctly predicted the outcome of all seven of Germany’s games during the South African World Cup. Octopuses, of which the earth is home to about 300 distinct species, are cephalopods, and have exceptionally large brains for non-mammals. According to Jennifer Mather, a comparative psychologist at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada, the quality that makes octopuses smart is their ability to apply learned information. For example, when given a mussel and a clam to eat, the octopus chose the mussel as they are easier to open. However, when offered clams on the half-shell, the octopus pivoted away from mussels– deciding to go with the new simplified option. These creatures proved capable of complex problem-solving. When opening the shells, octopuses employed a variety of techniques, such as chipping away at the shell and injecting the clam with poison to weaken the mollusk, and even using their salivary papilla to drill a hole and inject the toxin. The octopuses chose which strategy to use based on which species they were presented with, and altered their approach to what would work best. As humans, this makes sense to us, but most animals would simply repeat the same technique, despite receiving the same results. Further evidence of the intelligence of octopuses can be found in their desire to play, a behavioral trait of exceptional animals. Mather and her colleague Roland Anderson placed an octopus and an empty pill bottle in an otherwise empty tank. Although nothing happened at first, eventually the octopus blew water at the bottle, causing it to go over a jet and then return to the octopus. The animal repeated this behavior, similar to what a human might exhibit when bouncing a ball – exploring the options for engaging with a new stimulus. These clever creatures have even been documented shooting water at aquarium workers, and deliberately tampering with various aspects of their tanks, inciting leaks and malfunctions. Octopuses remain a common animal for humans to keep and study in captivity. Their remarkable intelligence and display of complex behavior traits invites study and further consideration, at the very least. 1. Which of the following is a condensed summary 3.

During World War I, several European countries initiated daylight saving time as a wartime practice to conserve the fuel used by electricity for indoor lighting. It was adopted by the United States shortly afterward, but abandoned due to unpopularity following the end of the war. Reinstated by FDR during World War II, it was rendered optional afterward. Use continued to be optional and therefore created highly irregular and confusing schedules for transportation, radio, and TV throughout the 1960s. President Johnson ended the confusion in 1966 by signing The Uniform Time Act. However, any state wishing to do so was able to opt out of Daylight Saving Time observance by passing a state law. Today, only Arizona and Hawaii do not observe. Daylight Saving Time is celebrated in the fall by those wishing to gain an hour of sleep, and those in the spring invigorated by the longer days. Unfortunately, children often struggle to adjust to these changes to their schedule, especially where sleep and waking times are concerned. This is particularly irritating for parents. Regardless of your preference for Daylight Saving Time, it seems poised to persist in the United States, temporarily disrupting our schedules twice a year. 9.

TEAS® 7 Reading Practice Test 17  NurseHub.com is the best place to study for the TEAS® Strategies for Sleeplessness Sleep. Elusive for many of us, the majority likely agree that we aren’t getting enough. The stress and unpredictability of the past two years while living through a pandemic have exacerbated sleep issues for many. According to some studies, as many as 30- 50% of adults suffer from some type of insomnia. Fortunately, scientists and sleep specialists have identified simple practice steps for better, more fulfilling sleep. Many of the suggested steps are a return to the very basics of sleep hygiene. First, consider the environment you create for rest. A bedroom should resemble a cave – dark, silent, and cool. Wearing an eye mask or using blackout shades shuts out unwanted light. If you live in a noisy urban environment, try a white noise machine. The ideal sleeping temperature might be chillier than you think – experts suggest between 60-67 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, creating a bedtime routine is just as crucial for adults as it is for children. Following a prescribed set of steps each evening shows the body it is time for sleep. For most, this should include turning off technology (social media, television, your laptop) at least an hour before bedtime, and instead reading a book or listening to a calming podcast or music. Going to bed too full or too hungry can also interfere with a good night’s rest – have a snack if you need to, but make sure you aren’t eating dinner just before bedtime. Exercise is crucial to our overall wellness, and that translates into our sleeping lives at night. While many of us have formed a complex relationship with exercise over the pandemic, experts continue to say it is vital for restorative sleep; but not too close to bedtime. Finish your workout several hours before bed to allow your body temperature to begin to decline and regulate. Finally, many of us lay awake at night with our worries. Sleep scientists suggest maintaining a notebook next to your bed to quickly scribble down those worries as they pop into our heads (Did I sign the permission slip? Respond to that email?). Removing them from our thoughts frees up our consciousness for rest. Set aside a time each day to read over these notes. Although the pandemic and stressors of everyday life have made sleep a fleeting experience for many, better rest IS achievable with a few simple tweaks to your habits. 16.
