Choose this book for your ATI TEAS
I bought this book under my mother's amazon account so I'm posting this as a 22 year old who had to take the ATI TEAS test for entrance into nursing programs. Overall, I think this book worked well. The reading, math and English language sections prepared me very well for the test. Compared to the test, the book's science section was good. I felt like I got some questions on the test that the science section touched on but didn't delve very deep into (mostly concerning with the endocrine system), but a majority of the science questions could be answered by reading and studying the book. I love that the book gave 3 practice tests. I tested myself before I started studying and after reading the book. The question wording and question types in this book were very similar to the actual test so I thought that was a plus. Also the actual test might've been easier than the practice tests. On all three practice tests from the book I got from 80%-85%, but on the actual test I scored a 91%. I don't know how much of my past education played a role in my ability to do well on the test. I recently graduated from college with a health related degree, but I do think that without this study guide I wouldn't have done as well, it helped me brush up on topics I had forgotten as well as teach me things I never knew (mostly relating to English grammar section). I probably studied over a period of 2 weeks on and off, but if you haven't been to school or taken class in a while (especially if science isn't your strong suit) I definitely recommend using this book and studying way ahead of time. Compared to the price of other books, this one is a bargain for how well it prepares you. I wrote this long review because when I was looking for a book to study with there weren't many detailed reviews or many books to choose from because this version of the test is so new (they started giving it this year in August). I wanted to be helpful for the next person like myself. Hope this helps!
