To prepare for the TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills), candidates can take online practice assessments that compliment the Content Mastery Review Modules. These TEAS practice questions mirror the test in style, format, and content and can be repeated as many times as needed.
Easily accessible online, TEAS practice questions are a wonderful study tool because the feedback is automatic and gives explanations for both correct and incorrect answers. This approach offers a "mini-lesson" on each question's intent that helps the candidate understand the material better by providing affirmation for what is already known, filling in missing data, and indicating areas that need further research.
Using the TEAS practice questions as part of a comprehensive study program "helps put the 'educated' into educated guess." After each practice session, the candidate receives a performance profile explaining the results. This guide is an invaluable tool to using study time more effectively. A couple of samples of TEAS practice questions follow:
Practice Question 1
The earth sciences, or geosciences, study the earth, the only known life-bearing planet. This field is concerned with the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, and the atmosphere. These three working together create the conditions needed to sustain the biosphere, which is composed of all living organisms, i.e. life science or biology.
Which of the following is not a basic principle of the earth sciences?
A. The lithosphere is the crust of the earth.
B. A hemisphere is half of a round object, i.e. the earth.
C. The hydrosphere is all the water on the earth's surface.
D. The atmosphere is the air mass surrounding the earth.
E. The biosphere is the combination of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
Answer: B
Practice Question 2
Biodiversity (biological diversity) encompasses all living things and the ecosystems they create. It is the web of life that has evolved over 3.5 billion years by natural processes and human influences. To study an ecosystem properly, all living creatures that populate the interactive community and share the air, water, and soil must be considered.
Which of the following is not part of biodiversity?
A. Plants
B. Animals, including man
C. Objects made from natural resources
D. Ecosystems
E. Water
