TEAS Math is 38 scored questions in 57 minutes, and you get a basic on-screen calculator, so the challenge is setting the problem up correctly rather than the arithmetic itself. It splits into number and algebra, and measurement and data. Many questions are word problems drawn from everyday and healthcare settings — dosages, ratios and unit conversions.
What math covers on the TEAS 7
- Number and algebra: fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios and proportions
- Solving equations and working with simple expressions
- Unit conversions within and between the metric and standard systems
- Measurement and data: reading tables, charts and graphs
- Averages, and interpreting results in context
- Word problems set in real and clinical situations
Where candidates lose marks
Rushing the set-up because a calculator is allowed. A wrongly-arranged ratio gives a confident wrong answer.
Dropping or mismatching units in a conversion.
Confusing percentage increase with percentage of a total.
Not reading what the question asks for — the mean, not the total; the remainder, not the amount used.
