Should I use TEAS cheat sheets when I study? 

Using cheat sheets is one of the most effective ways to study. 

Usually, cheat sheets will have condensed the most important information you need to know, all in one place. 

You will find the basics as well as complex ideas, summarized and highlighted in ways that encourage you to make logical connections. 

Cheat sheets usually compile the information in a way that serves as a starting point. Let’s look at an example: 

On our English and Language Usage cheat sheet, you will find this piece of information related to medical prefixes: 

​Direction (Ab-; Ad-; Dia-; Per-; Trans-;) 

​Numbers (Prim/I-; Prot/o; Mon/o; Uni-; Hemi-; Hexa-; Hepta-; Poly-; Dipl/o-;) 

Time/ Position (Hyper-; Hypo-; Olig/o-; Pan-; Supra-;) 

This is meant to serve as the foundation for your answer. Based on this information, you know which prefixes refer to direction, numbers, time, etc. By using this, you will be able to tell what the word on your exam means in context, as well as figure out what it might refer to. 

Even if you do not know what the word means, you will be able to make an educated guess. If you employ the process of elimination (on multiple-choice questions), you will have the best chance of finding the right answer. 

This type of condensation of information is present on the general TEAS cheat sheets, that compile the basic information you need to know for all the sections. 

If you would like a more in-depth view, but with the same easy-to-follow structure and summarized information, you can access the individual TEAS cheat sheets.
