Ms. McAllister, I just took my TEAS today and made great score on the reading portion of the exam and did well over all. I want to thank you so much. I have watched all of your videos and they have helped me so much. Have been out of school for a while and you helped to refresh my memory on the important topics. Thank you so much for your videos. You help a lot of people.
I thank GOD I found you!! 🙌🏽I’ve always struggled with reading comprehension. I’m studying to retake the TEAS for the 4th time in January. I’m learning so much from you. I love the way you teach. You teach in way that I can understand and comprehend. You are definitely a GOD sent. I’m truly grateful.🙏🏾 I believe I’ll pass the test this time with your teaching. Thank you soooo much for the videos. You’re a true blessing. 😊🙌🏽🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for such a sweet comment!! Although some might argue with me, I do know that it often takes students multiple attempts to pass the TEAS --- because it is so darn tricky!!! The most important things for you to remember for the Reading portion: 1. Read the question first!! That way, you will know what you are looking for in the passage. 2. Manage your time! If after a minute you aren't sure of the answer, then guess - do not leave it blank. This is to ensure you do not run out of time. 3. NEVER choose "Descriptive" or "To Describe." If you think a passage is descriptive, it will be EXPOSITORY - "to inform." You CAN do this! I wish you all the best!!!!
Thanks for the video! Unfortunately the actual TEAS does not ask specific topic questions on what the logical conclusion is , its more like you read an essay and then asks whats the logical conclusion/inference would be on the WHOLE paragraph(which is harder). if you can re-make one like that we would be grateful!
Thank you so much for the video! I am studying for my TEAS and will be taking it in February. You have helped me immensely and I truly appreciate it! I loved the "Sherlock" and Brandon Craft reference.
Please listen to her I saw so many things that she teaches, the test isn’t hard but isn’t easy either. To professer McAllister, thank you best wishes!!
We've never met in person, but we do kinda know each other. When I worked as a TEAS Coordinator, I would refer my students to his videos, as they were the most helpful. Once I started recording my own videos, I left a comment on his youtube page. To my surprise, he reached out to me, giving me pointers, etc. He is the Master of Math! :)
You are the best English teacher I ever had before, I learned lots from your videos. Is there any short ways to find the the logical conclusion of the passage? Thanks a lot Professor Carolyn. Almost every day I Watch your videos.
Thank you! The logical conclusion can be tricky. I recommend checking the title of the passage (if there is one) because that can often give you a hint. Don't spend too much time on the logical conclusion questions because you do not want to run out of time! Good luck!
This is what I’m struggling with it’s so much easier with 1 paragraph but when you have 5-6 paragraphs it’s so overwhelming can anyone give me an advice on this?
they say read the question first then go to the passage but yea ladies I had the same issue, I have failed read portion twice, doing my 3rd time soon 🙏🏾🤞🏽 we have to just be more focused and confident, what’s for us will be for us !
Hi Professor McAllister, are you on planning on making videos on the English part of the TEAS as well? Because the reading ones you posted are super helpful! Thank you!
Hi, In my first attempt, i had a challenge to finish the reading section with time. Even I didn't get chance to read the comprehension, so I gave randomly. What would ne your suggestion?
Read the questions first! So many students read the passages first, and then they have to reread it after they've read the question. It is not always necessary to read complete passages.Sometimes the answer could be in the title - or in a specific paragraph. Rewatch my Reading videos - and take notes. Also, you only have approximately 1 minute per question, so be sure to manage your time! Good luck to you!
Because I am teaching you "strategies" to pass the Reading portion of the TEAS. "both" is NEVER the correct answer. Easy-peazy - do not over analyze. :)
Thank you very much for your videos, I plan to retake the TEAS in 5 days, I previously took the Teas and passed all the other section but I was not able to finish the reading section so I fail it. I have been looking at your videos and they are super helpful. Do you happen to have information and simple, complex compound sentence?
I haven't recorded any videos yet on the various type of sentences, but I can give you a brief explanation here: A simple sentence has only one subject and one verb (but it can have objects and modifiers). EX: She opened her book. ("She" is the subject, "opened" is the verb, and "her book" is the object.) A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses. EX: The baby fox heard a noise, and she ran away. (Each independent clause has a subject and a verb, and each independent clause could stand alone as a complete sentence.) Lastly, a complex sentence will have at least one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. EX: Although it was snowing, the children played outside for hours. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best!
@@pierrelouiskem4177 I have taken the TEAS V and TEAS 6 each one time. I'm taking the TEAS 6 for the second time on Monday, so I will be sure to update you then. You can look for my post on the ATI TEAS Test Study group facebook page.
I love the comment about the numbers and the reference to Brandon Craft.😂 I’ve been going through your playlist and it’s so much better for me to understand. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work. 🙏🏾
I am not familiar with the TABE test. The grammar portion works for any type of grammar question, but I the Reading strategies were designed specifically for the TEAS. Good luck!
Hello, professor thank you for your nice videos, I learned a lot from these videos. Do you have any suggestions for me, I mean do know any other videos to suggest to me for the science subject? if so please let me know I really need these kinds of videos for my learning, cause I have my teas test next month.
Hi, I highly recommend wwwkhanacademy.org and/or www.bozemanscience.com. Be sure to take notes while you watch the videos as that will help you better remember and retrieve the info. Good luck to you!
Hello Ms. McAllister, I am preparing TEAS exam and I did not grow up in the U.S. Therefore, , I do not know Graham Crackers are still popular. From the passage, it said "Dr. Graham claimed that his crackers made girls less interested in sex." Therefore, I chose C: are not popular. Why would C are not the answer? Since his cracker made girls less interested in sex. Thank you:)
I am unfamiliar with this type of question. What was the actual question? If the graham crackers made girls less interested in sex (really...what a stupid dr!), then I my mind they would be popular if they made girls less-likely to engage in sexual activity.
I wouldn't worry too much about one type of question, and you certainly don't want to spend too much time on one question. However, let me try to explain the difference between inference and conclusions: inferencing is "reading between the lines." You reach an understanding based on information that is NOT included in the passage. Concluding is when you consider all the information presented to reach an understanding. Here is a youtube video that I think might be helpful: th-cam.com/video/82JpV9ac6ys/w-d-xo.html Good luck!
professor, the last question number 8 is hard to understand. because i thought "Never" is an extreme word and we should eliminate it from answer choice.
You're right about "never" when choosing the correct answer for most tests. However, in this case, it is the right answer (sorry, I know...the TEAS is very confusing!) Thank you for watching!
Carolyn McAllister u are the best i just started watching your video yesterday...I learned so much already...im taking my Teas vi in 40 days..i benn aboiding it for 4 years..Now i can't wait.....To hear you say,"You want students to pass, and pursue our dreams !" You are amazing
For long passages that ask to find the logical conclusion could reading the topic sentence of each paragraph be used as a method to answer those types of questions?
@@carolynmcallister1496 I do read the question first all the time, but I guess I just can’t seem to understand what I’m looking for plus the timer on the teas test keeps making me nervous. Hopefully this second attempt I will do better, but thank you for the wonderful explanation in this video. I will practice more.

You are welcome!! I hope my videos are helpful. Good luck!
oh my God wish I would have know abut Ms. McAllister before I took the teas like twice . you break it down so simply.
You are a great teacher I wish every teacher taught like you
Thank you!

amahl Cotterell did you pass
Yea
What did you get in reading if you don’t mind me asking? I tear Wednesday and I’m very nervous.
70.3% but I’m bad with reading
And don’t be nervous go in there and give it your best shot, don’t take up too much time guess if you absolutely don’t know
Thank you so much. May ALLAH (GOD) bless you. Ameen
Hi Professor, how do you get the main Idea from a one paragraph passage? Thanks.
following
This helped me out a whole lot 😊 I always incorporate what I think to what’s in the passage and that was the wrong way to do it.
Thank you so much. Amazing. Please make more videos and thank you for your time.
to find a conclusion drawn directly from a passage how do you find it ?
haha kudos on referencing Brandon Craft, do you guys even know each other. That made me laugh

Will "both" still never be an answer on Teas Version 7?
Oh, how I wish you would have been my professor for ENC 1101. Your videos are so helpful; thank you so much.
Thank you!
Could you make another video about inference and logical conclusion. With different set of example?
It's on the list!
@@carolynmcallister1496 like your playlist? I don’t see it on your playlist could you send me a link? Or are you in the process of working on it?
This is what I’m struggling with it’s so much easier with 1 paragraph but when you have 5-6 paragraphs it’s so overwhelming can anyone give me an advice on this?
This is also my problem. On the real test, it will have a longer passage which is very frustrated for me.

I'm looking for information on logical conclusion. Is there a faster way find answer.
I have a question when a word spelled out like nineteenth century would that count as expository
Yes!
I'm glad you asked that question!
I laugh so hard when you can't read the number. I love your sense of humor lol
😅

Ms. McAllister, what episodes on Netflix are you talking about?
I was referring to "Sherlock" and the reference to his "Brain Palace."
Like 941👍🏾 Very informative video lecture! Lovely shirt by the way😁
This was very informative. Yeah im pretty sure Brandon Craft would know how to read that number lol...
Ty. You have helped me so much so far. This is my hardest part of Reading.
Hello Professor! Do you have any update in relation to the TEAS 7th ? I am starting to study all your material. Thanks for all you do.
Students are telling me that my videos also helped them pass the TEAS 7! Good luck to you!
Thanks! Number 8 got me hahaha.

For long passages that ask to find the logical conclusion could reading the topic sentence of each paragraph be used as a method to answer those types of questions?
Absolutely! And look for key words that appear both in the question and in the answer.
