Question: What is 25% of 80?

  1. 10
  2. 20
  3. 25
  4. 30

  3. 102.9°F
  4. 104.2°F

Answer: C. 102.9°F

Explanation: 39.4 × 9/5 + 32 = 39.4 × 1.8 + 32 = 70.92 + 32 = 102.92°F ≈ 102.9°F.

Question: Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22

  1. x = 3
  2. x = 5
  3. x = 7
  4. x = 9

Answer: B. x = 5

Explanation: 3x + 7 = 22 → 3x = 15 → x = 5.

Question: A recipe calls for a 3:1 ratio of water to oats. If you use 6 cups of oats, how many cups of water do you need?

  1. 2 cups
  2. 6 cups

Question: A doctor orders 0.5 g of medication. The medication is available in 250 mg tablets. How many tablets should be given? (1 g = 1,000 mg)

  1. 1 tablet
  2. 2 tablets
  3. 3 tablets
  4. 4 tablets

Answer: B. 2 tablets

Explanation: Convert: 0.5 g = 500 mg. Then 500 mg ÷ 250 mg per tablet = 2 tablets.

Open with a diagnostic exam to spot weak areas, then build a routine: short daily question sets, careful rationale review, and weekly timed simulations. In the final two weeks, prioritize full-length mocks under realistic conditions to build pacing and stamina.

What counts as a passing TEAS 7 score?

Required composite scores vary by school. A 60–75% range is common for ADN programs, while selective BSN programs often look for 78%+ — placing applicants in the Proficient or Advanced tier. Always confirm the cutoff with the specific nursing program you're applying to.
