Wow 😮 god bless you Professor !

[@chuualwayswins]

thank you for sharing this! I took the TEAS for the first time earlier this month and I didn’t really study much for the reading/english portions. these type of reference material questions were more on the english & language section for me, and one of the answer choices I remember did talk about supplemental information so it must’ve been appendix. I had NO idea what the difference was for appendix and index so I’m glad you cleared that up for me when I do retake the test next month :)

[@carolynmcallister1496]

Yay!!! I love it when my videos are helpful!! Good luck to you!

Will we need to know the definition for encyclopedia as well for test?

[@literally_hay3718]

Hi Professor Mclister! I just want to inform that I encounter a question in the practice test asking where you find the author’s copy right? The correct answer is the library website.

[@carolynmcallister1496]

Thank you!

[@dashabagriy1569]

If I get a question on the TEAS like “Which of the following contains supplemental information in a textbook?” what would be the correct answer if it won’t be appendix?

Hi Professor , I will be taking the ati teas exam in November. I just wanted to know if your teas videos will still be helpful since most of them are 2-3 years old . Thank you so much!

[@carolynmcallister1496]

Hi, yes, they are still helpful because there have been no updates for the TEAS 6. Good luck!

[@raeganwilliams4666]

Same!!

[@anabelacevedo685]

I am taking the new TEAS 7, I wonder if these videos will be helpful ! I am learning alot due to my first speaking language being Spanish , thank you.

[@carolynmcallister1496]

I have not yet taken the TEAS 7, so I am not sure whether the Reading strategies will work. However, the English Language & Usage should still work because grammar is grammar. I will be taking the TEAS 7 soon, so I will then have a better answer for you. Good luck!

Is a periodical index what you use to make a works cited page?

[@carolynmcallister1496]

Yes, you are correct!

[@sre3109]

i think on the TEAS we need to know about primary secondary resources. Also about online resources such as blogs videos, tv reliable resources what would they be primary or secondary?

[@sre3109]

Ravel Mann Texas

[@sre3109]

I did buy the test manual recommended by math craft

[@carolynmcallister1496]

That's a tricky one! I guess there is a strong chance they could be primary, although I do not think they actually appear as resource example on the TEAS.

[@peggyoneal325]

Sonia Rey, you are absolutely right! I have taken the actual TEAS test, and that information was definitely on my test......thank you for the reminder, I need to brush up on that info because I will be retaking the TEAS test, soon.....Professor McAllister, rcould you please be so kind to make a video on this information Sonia mentioned....I experienced it firsthand......

[@minoom3158]

so what would be the difference between periodic index, reference and bibliography. all are the same?

[@carolynmcallister1496]

They are not the same. Periodic index is where you would look for journal article and citations. Reference materials includes things such as dictionary, thesaurus, and encyclopedias.A Bibliography is a list of your research resources that you might use for your research essay.

I have a question Is the "Thesaurus" like paraphrasing words? I did my English Reading, Mastery Skills as one of my prerequisites in the nursing program, I will make my 3rd attempt for Teas exam by April 2023, I have been studying, I love your videos, This will help me a lot for my Teas test, Thank you, Professor McAllister.

[@carolynmcallister1496]

A thesaurus is useful for finding word substitutes in order to vary your word choice or to find more scholarly-sounding words for academic writing. Paraphrasing is summarizing a passage in your own words --- AND you must cite whenever your paraphrase information. Good luck to you!

Hi Professor McAllister, what is a secondary and tertiary source?

Will bibliography be on the teas?

[@carolynmcallister1496]

I'm not sure, but it could be one of the choices for an answer. I include it in my videos because I want to make sure students don't confuse bibliography, biography, and autobiography!

Are these videos helpful for TEAS 7?

[@carolynmcallister1496]

Yes, students are telling me these also work for TEAS 7 - most likely because I am teaching strategies.

whats bibliography

[@carolynmcallister1496]

A bibliography is an alphabetical list of sources used. Good lluck!!
