The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) assesses a prospective healthcare student’s preparedness in several academic areas. A key aspect for test-takers to understand is the availability and type of calculating devices permitted during the mathematics section. This knowledge allows for appropriate test preparation strategies.
Knowing whether a calculating aid is allowed or disallowed is critical for managing time effectively and focusing on the mathematical concepts being tested rather than struggling with manual computation. Historically, standardized tests have varied significantly in their policies regarding calculating tools; understanding the current guidelines ensures test-takers are not caught off guard and can optimize their performance.
