Section 1
Try two TEAS questions
One math, one science. Answer, check, read the explanation.
TEAS sample · mixed sections
1 of 2Ali is x years old and Sara is (10x - 24). Which equation states that Sara is twice as old as Ali?
Rationale
Twice as old as Ali means Sara's age equals 2 times Ali's age, so 10x - 24 = 2x. 2(10x - 24) = x reverses the roles of the two people.
Answer: D
Which sequence correctly traces blood from the body back to the body?
Rationale
Blood returns from the body through veins into the right atrium, passes to the right ventricle, goes to the lungs, returns to the left atrium, then the left ventricle, and leaves through systemic arteries.

Section 4
How to use a TEAS practice test
- Start with one section set each. Your misses across the four sets show where to spend your time.
- Read every explanation, including on questions you got right. A lucky guess is a miss you have not met yet.
- Time yourself once you know the material. English gives you about a minute per question; math gives you about a minute and a half.
- Finish with a full mock test. All four sections in one sitting is the closest you get to test day.
