What the fixed points are

  • Checkpoint. A short timed set across everything studied so far. Its only job is to say whether last week’s hours went to the right place.
  • Full-length practice test. All four sections, timed, 3 h 29 min. One at the midpoint and one four days out.
  • Review only. The last three days hold no new material: missed questions, then rest.
What this plan does not know. It works from four section scores at most. The Pass Kit builds the same plan from twelve sub-area results, shows each day's chapter and drill, and rebuilds itself after every checkpoint.

How the plan is built

The TEAS 7 has 150 scored questions spread unevenly across twelve topics. Human anatomy and physiology carries 18 of them and Chemistry carries 8. Most study plans ignore that spread and divide the weeks evenly, or follow a book's table of contents. This one starts from the spread.

Each topic's share of your hours comes from three things:

  1. How many scored questions it carries. That sets the most points it can return.
  2. How far you are from mastering it. If you enter section scores, a strong section gets less. If you do not, every topic starts from the same estimate.
  3. How fast it responds to practice. Anatomy facts and grammar rules move quickly under drilling. Reading comprehension does not, so Reading gets a floor instead of a push.

The result is a ranking by points per hour, and the hours are handed out down that ranking until they run out. Every section you still have points to gain in keeps a minimum, so none of them is left untouched. The exception is a cram: with under two weeks, the plan cuts on purpose.

How long each plan runs

The number of days you have changes the plan before anything else does. A short plan covers less on purpose.

Days until your testPlanHours a week
Under 142-week cram10 to 12
15 to 304-week sprint7
31 to 566-week standard5 to 6
57 or more8-week foundation4 to 5

Those four pages are fixed calendars with every day written out. The generator above makes the same kind of plan for the exact number of days you have. The reasoning behind both is in how to study for the TEAS.

The parts that do not move

  • A checkpoint every seventh day. A short timed set that says whether last week's hours went to the right place, while there is still time to move them.
  • A full-length test at the midpoint and four days out. The exam is 209 minutes across four separately timed sections. A full-length test rehearses pacing and concentration, not content.
  • Review only in the last three days. No new material. The final day is rest.

The plan does not promise a score. It tells you where your hours are worth the most, and the hours shown are estimates.

Questions

How long should I study for the TEAS?

If you can still choose your test date, six weeks at five to six hours a week. That is the shortest schedule that covers the exam rather than triaging it. Four weeks works at about seven hours a week, and two weeks is a cram that cuts most of the blueprint on purpose.

More than eight weeks does not need more hours in total. It needs fewer each week, because the same material is met more often.

Why does the plan give Reading so little time?

Reading is 26% of the exam, but comprehension moves slowly under practice at any dose. Anatomy recall and grammar rules move quickly. The plan gives Reading a minimum so you do not walk in cold, and spends the rest where an hour returns more points. If your Reading score is the weak one, enter your section scores and the hours move.

What changes if I enter my section scores?

The hours move toward the sections where you have the most points still available. A section where you already score near 90% drops out of the plan, and its hours go to the others.

Four section scores are a coarse instrument. The Pass Kit works from twelve sub-area results and rebuilds the plan after every checkpoint.

What do I do if I miss a day?

Add that day’s practice to the next day and skip that day’s reading. Leave the checkpoints, both full-length tests and the last three review days where they are: your test date does not move, so they cannot either.

Do I have to give an email address?

No. The plan is built in your browser. Print it, or copy the link to come back to the same plan.
