Sample questions from TEAS 7

This material has 90 questions with answers and rationales. Here are the first 5.

1. 1.Read the passage: "Some cities are replacing traditional streetlights with LED fixtures. LEDs use less electricity and last longer, but the initial installation can be costly." Which statement best summarizes the passage?

   • A.LED streetlights have benefits as well as an upfront cost.
   • B.LED streetlights are always cheaper to install than traditional lights.
   • C.Cities are removing all streetlights.
   • D.Traditional streetlights last longer than LEDs.

   Rationale: The passage states that LEDs use less electricity and last longer, while noting their installation cost. Option B contradicts the stated upfront cost, and option C is not mentioned. Option D reverses the comparison about lifespan; the takeaway is to include both benefits and costs in a summary.

2. 2.Read the passage: "Mina reviewed vocabulary for twenty minutes each evening. After two weeks, she recognized more words in her reading assignments." Which conclusion is best supported?

   • A.Regular review may improve word recognition.
   • B.Mina memorized every word in English.
   • C.Reading assignments became shorter.
   • D.Vocabulary study is useful only in the evening.

   Rationale: The passage connects Mina's repeated review with improved recognition, supporting a cautious conclusion that regular review may help. Option B makes an unsupported absolute claim, and option C is not described. Option D invents a time-of-day rule; distinguish supported conclusions from details not in the passage.

3. 3.Read the passage: "The community garden reserved one bed for herbs. Volunteers planted basil, parsley, and mint there, while tomatoes grew in a separate bed." Where did the tomatoes grow?

   • A.In the herb bed
   • B.In a separate bed
   • C.In pots inside the garden shed
