What’s on the TEAS cheat sheet
- Reading (~45 questions) — key ideas & details, craft & structure, and integration of knowledge — pull evidence straight from the passage.
- Mathematics (~38 questions) — numbers & algebra plus measurement & data; an on-screen four-function calculator is provided.
- Science (~50 questions) — the largest section — human anatomy & physiology, biology, chemistry, and scientific reasoning.
- English & Language Usage (~37 questions) — conventions of standard English, knowledge of language, and using language to communicate.
How to use it in your final week
- Front-load Science — it's the largest section (~50 questions) and anatomy & physiology dominates, so it moves your score the most.
- Practice Math with only the on-screen four-function calculator, never a graphing calculator, so exam-day constraints feel familiar.
- Print the sheet beside your practice tests — review a section, then immediately drill it, and treat Reading as open-book by pulling every answer from the passage.
- Read it the morning of the exam for a final pass on the must-know formulas, A&P terms, and standard-English conventions.
The cheat sheet is your review layer — your TEAS practice test drives the exam-readiness ring at the top of this page. Download it, review, then take a full practice exam (or drill with the study guide and flashcards) to see where you stand.
