Hello everyone!
Most of you are probably here because you will be taking the ATI TEAS exam soon. This is a very exciting time in your life! You are one step closer to your career goals and this test is a huge factor in determining your admission into nursing school. Take some deep breaths, drink some water, and remember that you are intelligent, you are enough, and will do great! I am speaking this into existence for you!
I have combined some of my handwritten notes from my anatomy and physiology classes along with notes that I found online. I have also provided video links in some of the guides for visual learners! This is my way of giving back to a community that was incredibly supportive and helped me get through this exam and pass with advanced standing!

The anatomy and physiology portion of the exam is the biggest, and arguably the most difficult part of the exam. I hope that these study guides can help!
I have also created a study guide for the chemistry portion of the ATI TEAS! It is available for purchase on my Etsy page for 5.99! Here is the link to my shop:

FAQ
Here are my answers to some common questions that I have received regarding how I prepared for the exam:
“How long did you study for?”
Although I was reviewing things on and off for about a month before the exam, I actually decided to take the week off from work before the day of the exam to dedicate all my time and effort to study. I would literally spend the ENTIRE DAY studying! There were a few days where I would study from 10am until midnight! It was honestly exhausting and pretty stressful, but I knew that it was a sacrifice I needed to do. In the end, the hard work paid off! I achieved an advanced level score!
“What did you use to study?”
I started by purchasing the practice tests from the ATI website. I took the first exam at the beginning of the week and then reviewed all the sections that I got wrong. After that, I spent the week reviewing my weaknesses, math in particular. I used several books (pictured below), the ATI practice tests, and Youtube videos! If I came across any terms or concepts that I did not understand, I would write it on a post-it note and made sure to review it before the end of the day. I honestly think that what helped me the most was constantly doing practice problems. This helps you review the material and obtain a better grasp of what the exam will be like. In the end, I received a 96.9 on the math portion! It was the section that I was most worried about and yet I received an almost perfect score!
“Did you take the exam in person or online?”
I took the test online! It was proctored by Proctorio and I took about 2 and a half hours to complete the entire test. I made sure my room was clean and I completely cleared my desk before starting. I also asked the hubby to keep our dog in another room in case he started barking! Make sure you eat a healthy breakfast, drink some water, and use the bathroom before you begin! Also, be prepared with some pens, pencils, a blank sheet of paper, and your ID.
“Can you tutor me?” / “Do you offer private tutoring services?”
I do not at this time, but perhaps it is something that I will consider in the future. I am very confident in the math section as well as the science section, especially the anatomy and physiology section. I will be more than happy to answer any questions!
That’s everything! Good luck everyone!
