READING
Main Idea & Supporting Details
The main idea is the central point the author wants the reader to understand. Supporting details explain, prove,
illustrate, or develop that point. Ask: What single statement covers most of the paragraph without being too
broad or too narrow?
TEAS focus: answer from the passage, not from outside knowledge.
Inference
An inference is a conclusion supported by textual evidence but not directly stated. Use only information
reasonably supported by the passage; avoid adding outside assumptions.
TEAS focus: answer from the passage, not from outside knowledge.
Summary
A strong summary preserves the central idea and major supporting points while omitting examples, repetition,
and minor detail.

, TEAS focus: answer from the passage, not from outside knowledge.
Author's Purpose & Point of View
Common purposes include informing, explaining, persuading, entertaining, or describing. Word choice, evidence
selection, and tone can reveal point of view.
TEAS focus: answer from the passage, not from outside knowledge.
Text Structure
Recognize sequence, cause/effect, compare/contrast, problem/solution, and description. Signal words often
reveal structure.
TEAS focus: answer from the passage, not from outside knowledge.
Evidence & Arguments
Distinguish claims from evidence. Strong evidence is relevant, credible, and sufficient. Separate fact from opinion
and identify bias or unsupported generalization.
TEAS focus: answer from the passage, not from outside knowledge.
Charts, Tables & Graphics
Read titles, labels, units, legends, axes, and footnotes before interpreting data. Compare values carefully and
avoid conclusions beyond the data.
TEAS focus: answer from the passage, not from outside knowledge.
Context Clues & Vocabulary
Use definition, synonym, antonym, example, and surrounding context to determine meaning. Check whether the
inferred meaning fits the sentence grammatically.

,MATHEMATICS
Fractions, Decimals & Percents
Convert among forms: percent = decimal x 100; decimal = percent / 100. For fractions, use common
denominators for addition/subtraction and multiply numerators/denominators for multiplication.
TEAS focus: show units, estimate first, and check whether the final value is reasonable.
Ratios & Proportions
A ratio compares quantities. For a/b = c/d, cross-multiply: ad = bc. Confirm units before solving.
TEAS focus: show units, estimate first, and check whether the final value is reasonable.
Order of Operations
Use parentheses/grouping, exponents, multiplication/division left to right, then addition/subtraction left to right.
TEAS focus: show units, estimate first, and check whether the final value is reasonable.
Linear Equations
Perform the same operation on both sides to isolate the variable. Distribute and combine like terms before
solving when needed.
TEAS focus: show units, estimate first, and check whether the final value is reasonable.
Measurement Conversions
Know common metric relationships: 1 kg = 1000 g; 1 L = 1000 mL; 1 m = 100 cm. Use dimensional analysis to
cancel units.
TEAS focus: show units, estimate first, and check whether the final value is reasonable.
Geometry
Rectangle area = lw; triangle area = 1/2 bh; circle area = pi r^2; circumference = 2 pi r. Rectangular-prism volume
= lwh.
TEAS focus: show units, estimate first, and check whether the final value is reasonable.
Statistics
Mean = sum/n; median = middle ordered value; mode = most frequent; range = maximum - minimum. Outliers
strongly affect the mean.
TEAS focus: show units, estimate first, and check whether the final value is reasonable.
Probability & Data
Probability = favorable outcomes / total possible outcomes when outcomes are equally likely. Interpret tables
and graphs using labels and units.
