Very Good!Seems to cover all of the topics pretty close to the PSB - although it is definitely an 'unofficial' study guide. The practice questions are good - more difficult than the PSB if anything. Format seems to match the PSB. By: Item Reviewed: Pass the PSB Published by:

    I personally did not find this site helpful. The content is very unorganized. The PSB HOAE is honestly overrated considering they take your marks from high school and compare them with this test.

    I don’t understand how this isn’t organized? It seems easy to navigate to me! I just wanted to get a feel of what kind of questions may be on the test, and you answered my questions on this page thoroughly!
    Thank you Brian!

    this site is very helpful but it would be amazing if you guys just made it into word documents or pdf’s so users can print it for extra practice. I tried copy pasting the questions but it messed up the format and was very frustrating.

    I found this practice exam a bit frustrating… not very helpful as this exam determines if I will get into my program and I feel far from prepared.

    I already have a TEAS study guide book. I’m contemplating on purchasing the practice questions, but not sure if it’s any better than what I already have.

      There is quite a bit of overlap between the two tests so probably not a lot of extra practice. Also the study guide and the practice questions are not meant to be purchased together – they are separate products and again a lot of overap
