The TEAS Reading section assesses critical reading skills needed for success in nursing programs. Thorough preparation using practice materials and developing strong reading comprehension abilities is key to performing well on this portion of the TEAS exam.
You have 55 minutes to answer the 45 items in the Reading section. The ATI TEAS reading section is comprised of three topics:
An additional 6 questions are included as pretest items
Here is an outline study timetable for the TEAS Reading using our six month licence.
The following two questions are examples of questions that are likely to appear as question types on the Reading section of your ATI TEAS Test:
She has very set ideas about how parents should behave.
Which of the following dictionary definitions is most appropriate for "set" as used in the sentence above?
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
The correct answer is (B).
The word "set" has several meanings, and it can be inferred which one is relevant using the context provided in the sentence.
You need to check which answer choice both fits the general notion conveyed in the sentence and corresponds well with its structure.
If answer (B) is placed in the sentence, it states that the woman has firm (or fixed) ideas as to how parents should behave. This sentence makes sense and therefore is the correct answer.
Answer choices (A) and (C) are incorrect because they are both nouns. Note that the word "very" indicates that the next word should be an adjective or an adverb. Therefore, both can be eliminated without examining whether their meanings fit the context.
Answer (D) is incorrect because saying the woman has well-prepared ideas is not logical.
Solving tip:
There are two ways to tackle this sort of question:
1.
2.
Although the first method might seem longer (especially if your anticipated answer does not appear among the answer choices), sometimes it is the better option, since some answer choices are designed to distract you from the correct answer. Anticipating the correct answer might help you avoid these traps.
Which of the following sources will be most helpful for two friends who wish to travel via the old European trade routes?
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
The correct answer is (C).
Since the two friends are looking for travel routes, you can eliminate answer (D) which doe not offer any help and is, therefore, irrelevant.
Both GPS and Google maps are great traveling tools; however, they provide up-to-date route information, while the two friends are interested in historical routes, which might have changed over the years.
Therefore, the most appropriate source for their mission would be an historical road atlas.
"The patient is displaying symptoms typical of dermatofibroma."
If you did not know the exact meaning of the underlined word, which of the following would be the best source to look for it?
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
The correct answer is (B).
Answer (B) is correct because the word begins with the root "derm-," indicating a condition related to skin. If you do not remember all the roots, think of what the root of the word reminds you of. In this case, the word dermatologist comes to mind, which means "a doctor specializing in skin diseases." If you do not know the exact meaning of the word dermatofibroma, you would do well to consult a comprehensive source on skin.
Answer (A) is incorrect because since the word begins with the root "derm-," it is related to the skin and not internal organs.
Answer (C) is incorrect because if one does not know the exact meaning of the word, it would be better to turn to a general source on skin, rather than a specific one, which may not contain the needed information.
Answer (D) is incorrect because there is a more suitable option on the list, which deals with skin-related terms.
The diagram below shows part of the floor plan for a building. Which of the following room size measurements is within the range of room sizes used in the floor plan?
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
The correct answer is (C)
The smallest room size used in the floor plan is 40 m2 (shower room) and the largest room size used is 105 m2 (gymnasium). The only room size measurement within that range is 85m2.
