The TEAS <i>Science <\/i>content area tests your understanding of the parts and function of each organ system of the human body, and it asks questions about biology and chemistry.

In these cases, key terms are provided that tell you what area of science you are being tested on and which fact(s) you need to supply. If you are being asked to evaluate an experiment or draw a conclusion based on data or an experimental process, the data will be provided or the process described. This information, which may be in the question itself or in a table, figure, or other information supplied above the question, will be key to answering correctly, so invest enough time to study it carefully. In all cases, a glance at the answer choices may also provide useful guidance about the area of science being tested or the specificity of the answer sought.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div  class='iconlist_icon  avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue816' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='iconlist_content_wrap'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Step 2: Recall the relevant facts.<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><p>Step 2: Recall the relevant facts.<br \/>\nThe TEAS tests many topics in science. Therefore, each time you start a new question, give yourself the time it takes to orient yourself to the question\u2019s particular focus. Is it about the endocrine system? Heredity? The experimental method? Call to mind what you know about the topic.<br \/>\nIf additional information is provided in the question or above it, then research it. It will either provide the answer to the question or facts you can use to deduce the answer. Read carefully! It would be a shame to know the material but miss the question because you, for example, misread the axis of a graph or named the independent variable instead of the dependent variable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div  class='iconlist_icon  avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue816' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='iconlist_content_wrap'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Step 3: Predict the answer.<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><p>By having the correct answer firmly in mind before you look at the answer choices, you will not choose an incorrect answer that looks similar or one that is a related concept but not the exact concept you need. Sometimes you may not know the science fact the question is asking for. Even in these cases, you can mentally review what you do remember about the topic. This will prepare you to eliminate clear wrong answers and increase your chance of getting the question right.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div  class='iconlist_icon  avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue816' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='iconlist_content_wrap'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Step 4: Evaluate the answer choices.<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><p>Choose the answer choice that matches your prediction.
