Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) measures prospective nursing students' academic skills. The math section of the TEAS 7 exam is one of the four sections test-takers must complete.

Preparing for this section can be daunting, but it can be conquered with the right approach. Hence, in this blog, we will discuss how to study for the math section of the TEAS 7 exam. But let's first understand the math section of TEAS 7.

Why are you being tested on Math in TEAS 7?

Mathematical skills are essential for success in nursing school and nursing. For example, nurses must administer medications accurately, interpret patient vital signs, and perform other mathematical calculations necessary for patient care. Therefore, nursing schools require prospective students to have a basic understanding of mathematics before entering the program.

What's new in the Math section of TEAS 7?

Although the subject matter covered in the TEAS 7 math section is essentially the same as in TEAS 6, there is a subtle difference in the number of questions for each sub-section.

Earlier in TEAS 6, the math section had 32 questions, with 23 questions from Numbers and Algerba and 9 questions about Measurement and Data.

But now, in TEAS 7, the math section has 34 scored questions, with 18 questions about Numbers and Algebra and 16 questions about Measurement and Data. Additionally, you will also get 4 unscored questions. Hence the total number of questions in the math section of TEAS 7 will be 38.

How to prepare for the Math Section of TEAS 7:

1. Know the TEAS test:
   
   The first step in creating a study program is to list all the math topics you need to pass the ATI TEAS math section.
   
   You can begin by reviewing the official TEAS 7 Math Study Guide to get an idea of the content and topics covered on the exam. It is also essential to understand the format and structure of the TEAS 7 section.
   
2. Collect study materials:
   
   
   
   To ensure that you make the most of your study time while preparing for the ATI TEAS 7 Math section, it's crucial to gather all the necessary study materials beforehand. You don't want to waste valuable time searching for resources when you could be learning and practicing. So, to start, gather textbooks, workbooks, and practice tests tailored to the ATI TEAS 7 Math section.
   
   However, it's essential to note that relying solely on one resource may not be sufficient for a comprehensive understanding of the content. Therefore, you should use various resources to broaden your knowledge and thoroughly understand the concepts. This way, you'll be more likely to succeed on test day.
   
3. Utilize online test prep resources:
   
   Participating in online practice exams is an effective way to determine if you know the test material you need and if you can find a way that benefits you.
   
   Online practice tests and Question banks are a great way to understand the materials and get used to the questions you may encounter in TEAS 7. Additionally, solving practice questions will allow you to practice and get used to solving questions in the time frame required to solve each question during the exam.
   
   If you are looking for an online course or Qbanks specifically tailored to help you pass the TEAS 7 on your first attempt, the ArcherReview TEAS 7 course is worth considering. This course is meticulously designed by expert nurses, ensuring your TEAS 7 preparation is seamless.

4. Spend time on your strengths:
   
   While it is essential to identify your ATI TEAS 7 Math weaknesses, do not overlook your strengths. You can assign more time to topics and questions needing further development. However, this does not mean you should ignore other topics and question types you are sure of.
   
   One effective way to focus on your strengths is by taking a practice test. It will help you identify the areas in which you excel and those that require more attention. Once you have a firm idea of your strengths, you can tailor your study plan accordingly.
   
   Focusing on your strengths can help you maximize your study time and achieve the best possible score on the Math section of TEAS 7. Remember also to spend some time practicing and reviewing the areas in which you need improvement, but don't neglect the areas in which you excel
   
5. Join a study group:
   
   
   
   Joining a study group can be very beneficial for preparing for the math section of the ATI TEAS 7 exam. When you have a network of people who share your goal, it can motivate and help you stay on track. Study groups can be in-person or online, allowing you to share tips, strategies, and resources.
   
   Working with peers or a study group can provide a supportive environment where you can discuss and clarify any concepts you struggle with. Explaining a concept to someone else can also help solidify your own understanding of the material. You can compare notes, ask questions, and receive feedback on your knowledge of the material. Sometimes, hearing another person explain a concept differently can make it click for you.
   

Conclusion:

In conclusion, preparing for the math section of the ATI TEAS 7 exam requires a well-rounded approach that includes reviewing content, practicing with sample questions, and taking care of yourself. It is essential to prioritize your time, focus on your strengths, and seek additional resources when needed.

Following these tips makes you feel confident and prepared on test day. Remember to take breaks, stay positive, and trust in your abilities. You can achieve your goals and succeed in the ATI TEAS 7 math section with dedication and hard work. Good luck!
