Let me start by saying that overall quality of this book is quite adequate, and someone who uses it to prepare for tests other than the TEAS, might have a different opinion.

After using 3 different books to study for the exam, I found that no single book prepared me completely. I did like the one published by McGraw-Hill the best, even thought it, too, fell short from ideal. All three books had essentially he same problem: none of them was specific enought to the TEAS. The authors tried to kill many birds with one stone aiming to please every possible nursing exam. As a result, I over studied for some parts, and was underprepared for the others.

The test was not hard. I had enough time to complete each section. If you were a decent student in high school, you will probably be ok.

The main problem I encountered is not knowing exactly what to expect.

This book served me well for the Math part. However, I also wasted time studying what I did not need.

The Math part of the test consisted of the following: countless conversions of: decimals, fractions, percentages, Fahrenheit to Celsius, KGs to LBs, miles to kilometers and so on. Also, review graphs/charts and their usage: ex: bar graph, line graphs. Be able to solve relatively simple equations such as "x-3=10". Review multiplication tables-as I was shocked how much of them I've forgotten over the years and-you can't use the calculator. (A very mean lady-tester, walks around to make sure). Be able to do lots of addition, multiplication, and subtraction fairly quickly, almost mechanically-if you do this, you'll bank time for harder problems.

I was completely caught off-guard by a few Geology (something about rocks) and Geography questions.

Today I took the TEAS test and let me tell you that this book is way too intense for the TEAS test. If you study this book...you will over study. I found this book was not very easy to understand and it covered too much for what I needed to know for the TEAS. To prepare myself for the TEAS I purchased this book, McGraw Hills Nursing School Entrance Exams, and the Study Guide from ATI testing. I used this Kaplan book the least out of the three. If you are preparing for the TEAS test, I would recommend buying the book by McGraw Hill and the one from ATI. The McGraw Hill book gives alot of good advice about what to memorize (especially in math)...and what not to worry about seeing on nursing entrance exams. The McGraw Hill was much easier to understand than the Kaplan book. The study guide from ATI is a must have too. It gives you information on tectonic plate movment, hydrologic system, and the rock cycle. All of those topics are on the TEAS test! I will summarize for you some of the types of questions that were on the TEAS test:

1. Know how to convert milligram to grams.
2. There was an anatomy question similar to this: Mouth is to bolus as? Answer: Stomach, chyme.
3. Know that the mucous in a trachea propels dust particles, and etc.
4. Be familar with the three different types of rocks: Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary.
5. Know how to spell words like: foreseeable, committed, recommendation, and etc.
6. Study tectonic plate movements. There will be a picture on there and you have to answer which plate movment it is: convergent, divergent, or transform
7. Be able to convert Liters to milliliters
8. Be aware of what "acquired immunity" is when it comes to viruses and diseases.
9. There are chemistry questions on there.
