You do not need more questions — you need a method. Science is the section most nursing applicants fear, and Anatomy & Physiology is the biggest chunk of it. Here is how to study each sub-domain, starting with A&P system by system.
Re-reading notes feels productive but does not build the recall a timed exam needs. For every system and concept below, close the book and say (or sketch) it from memory — the blood path, the reflex arc, the pH scale. Active recall, not re-reading, is what moves the Science number.
Anatomy & Physiology carries the most weight, so it is first and open by default. Tap any card to expand its method.
A&P is the single largest slice of the TEAS Science section, so it is where a real method pays off most. Study it one body system at a time — for each system, learn its structures, then its function, then how it connects to the systems around it — instead of memorizing scattered facts. Lean on one heuristic throughout: structure predicts function (a valve is one-way, alveoli are thin and huge in number for gas exchange), so when you understand the shape you can often reason out the job.
Study it system by system
Blood flow path through the four chambers and valves, pulmonary vs. systemic circuits, and how the heart maintains blood pressure.
Airway path to the alveoli, gas exchange (O2 in, CO2 out) across thin alveolar walls, and how breathing regulates blood pH/CO2.
Neuron and the signal path, central vs. peripheral nervous system, the reflex arc, and the brain's major regions.
Major glands and their hormones, negative feedback loops, and how hormones control metabolism and blood glucose (insulin/glucagon).
Innate vs. adaptive defenses, the inflammatory response, and antibodies/white blood cells recognizing pathogens.
Path of food and where each nutrient is broken down and absorbed; roles of enzymes, liver, and pancreas.
The nephron's job of filtering blood, and how the kidneys balance fluid, electrolytes, and blood pressure.
Bone and muscle types, how muscles move joints in pairs (agonist/antagonist), and protection/support roles.
Skin layers and functions: barrier, temperature regulation, and sensation.
Core male and female structures and the hormones that drive their cycles — a lighter-weight system on the TEAS.
High-yield: Cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous are the heaviest — master those loops (blood flow, gas exchange, the reflex/neuron pathway) before spending equal time on the smaller systems.
A method sticks when you use it. Practice TEAS Science with 350+ targeted questions across Anatomy & Physiology, Biology, Chemistry, and Scientific Reasoning — with calm, one-at-a-time Focus mode and an explanation on every miss.
