1. 1. Read the passage: "Handwashing remains the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infection in hospitals. Yet studies show compliance drops sharply during busy shifts, even though proper technique takes less than a minute. Hospitals that post reminders at sinks and track compliance see infection rates fall." Which sentence best states the main idea?

   • A. Proper handwashing takes less than a minute
   • B. Handwashing prevents infection, but getting staff to do it consistently is the real challenge
   • C. Hospitals should hire more staff for busy shifts
   • D. Infection rates are rising in most hospitals
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. Handwashing prevents infection, but getting staff to do it consistently is the real challenge

   The passage moves from the value of handwashing to the compliance problem and what helps. Choice B captures that whole arc. Choice A is a supporting detail, and choices C and D are not stated at all.

2. 2. Read the passage: "The clinic's flu vaccine supply arrived three weeks late this year. By the time doses were available, many regular patients had already been vaccinated at retail pharmacies." What can you infer from this passage?

   • A. The clinic ordered too few doses
   • B. Retail pharmacies received their vaccines earlier than the clinic
   • C. Most patients skipped the flu vaccine this year
   • D. The clinic will stop offering flu vaccines
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. Retail pharmacies received their vaccines earlier than the clinic

   If patients got vaccinated at pharmacies before the clinic's late supply arrived, the pharmacies must have had doses earlier. The other choices go beyond what the passage supports.

3. 3. Read the passage: "Every student deserves a quiet place to study. School libraries should stay open until 9 pm on weeknights, and district leaders should fund the extra staff hours without delay." What is the author's primary purpose?

   • A. To inform readers about library opening hours
   • B. To entertain readers with a story about studying
   • C. To persuade readers that library hours should be extended
   • D. To describe how school budgets are set
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: C. To persuade readers that library hours should be extended

   Words like should and without delay signal an argument for action, which makes this persuasive writing rather than neutral information.

4. 4. Complete the sentence.

   A statement that can be checked and proved true or false is a _____, while a statement of personal belief or judgment is an _____.

   Opzioni per lo spazio 1: fact, topic, summary, theme

   Opzioni per lo spazio 2: inference, opinion, argument, example

   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: fact, opinion

   Facts are verifiable; opinions express judgment. The TEAS often asks you to separate the two inside a single passage, so watch for judgment words like best, should or worthwhile.

5. 5. Read the sentence: "The new intake process was so convoluted that even experienced staff needed a flowchart to follow it." Based on context, what does convoluted mean?

   • A. Brief
   • B. Complicated
   • C. Popular
   • D. Optional
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. Complicated

   The clue is that even experienced staff needed a flowchart, which signals something hard to follow. Convoluted means complicated or intricate.

6. 6. Read the passage: "The night shift runs from 11 pm to 7 am. It is the best shift for people who like quiet work. Nurses on nights complete rounds every two hours. Everyone should try nights at least once." Which of the following statements from the passage are opinions?

   Seleziona tutte le risposte corrette.

   • A. The night shift runs from 11 pm to 7 am
   • B. It is the best shift for people who like quiet work
   • C. Nurses on nights complete rounds every two hours
   • D. Everyone should try nights at least once
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. It is the best shift for people who like quiet work, D. Everyone should try nights at least once

   Best and should signal judgment, so those two are opinions. The shift times and the rounding schedule are verifiable facts.

7. 7. You are using a textbook and need the page number where the term osmosis is discussed. Which part of the book should you check?

   • A. The table of contents
   • B. The glossary
   • C. The index
   • D. The preface
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: C. The index

   The index lists specific terms alphabetically with page numbers. The glossary defines terms but does not point to the discussion pages, and the table of contents only lists chapters.

8. 8. Read the passage: "Regular sleep improves memory. In one study, students who slept eight hours recalled 20 percent more terms than students who slept five. Attention and mood also improve with consistent rest." Which sentence is a supporting detail rather than the main idea?

   • A. Regular sleep improves memory
   • B. In one study, students who slept eight hours recalled 20 percent more terms than students who slept five
   • C. Sleep matters for students
   • D. Rest affects the brain
   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: B. In one study, students who slept eight hours recalled 20 percent more terms than students who slept five

   The study result is specific evidence backing the broader claim that sleep improves memory. Details answer how do we know; main ideas state the point.

9. 9. Complete the sentence.

   The author's _____ is the reason a text was written: usually to inform, to persuade or to entertain.

   Opzioni per lo spazio 1: tone, purpose, theme, bias

   Mostra risposta e spiegazione

   Risposta: purpose

   Purpose is the author's goal. Tone is the author's attitude, and theme is the underlying message of a literary work. The TEAS tests all three, so keep the terms straight.

10. 10. Read the schedule: "Anatomy lab: Mondays 2 pm. Open study room: weekdays 8 am to 8 pm. Tutoring: Tuesdays and Thursdays 4 pm to 6 pm." A student is free only after 5 pm on weekdays. Which resource can they use?

    • A. Anatomy lab
    • B. Tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 6 pm
    • C. Neither tutoring nor the study room
    • D. The study room on weekends
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: B. Tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 6 pm

    Tutoring runs until 6 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so a student free after 5 pm can still catch the last hour. The anatomy lab meets at 2 pm, and the schedule says the study room is open on weekdays, not weekends, so the other choices contradict the schedule.

11. 11. Read the passage: "Community gardens improve neighborhoods. Plots give residents access to fresh vegetables. Gardeners report knowing more of their neighbors by name. One city found that blocks with gardens had less litter." Which details from the passage support the claim in the first sentence?

    • A. Plots give residents access to fresh vegetables
    • B. Gardeners report knowing more of their neighbors by name
    • C. One city found that blocks with gardens had less litter
    • D. Community gardens improve neighborhoods
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: A. Plots give residents access to fresh vegetables, B. Gardeners report knowing more of their neighbors by name, C. One city found that blocks with gardens had less litter

    The first three choices are specific pieces of evidence. The last one is the claim itself, so it cannot be its own support.

12. 12. Read the passage: "Another meeting that could have been an email. Two hours, forty slides, and the only decision made was to schedule a follow-up meeting." Which word best describes the author's tone?

    • A. Enthusiastic
    • B. Sarcastic
    • C. Neutral
    • D. Hopeful
    Mostra risposta e spiegazione

    Risposta: B. Sarcastic

    The opening line and the pointed detail about the only decision being another meeting signal sarcasm: the author is mocking the meeting, not reporting on it neutrally.

Cosa c'è nella sezione TEAS 7 Reading

La sezione Reading dell'ATI TEAS 7 ti dà 45 domande e 55 minuti. 39 domande contano per il punteggio e 6 sono domande di prova non valutate, mescolate alle altre senza alcuna indicazione, quindi dedica a ogni brano tutta la tua attenzione.

Le domande valutate coprono tre aree di contenuto. Idee chiave e dettagli vale 15 domande: idee principali, dettagli di supporto, riassunti e istruzioni da seguire. Struttura e uso della lingua vale 9 domande: scelta delle parole, tono, punto di vista, struttura del testo e distinzione tra fatto e opinione. Integrazione di conoscenze e idee vale 15 domande: trarre conclusioni, valutare argomentazioni e mettere insieme informazioni da brani, tabelle e grafici.

I brani sono brevi e concreti: paragrafi, comunicazioni di servizio, etichette, orari e semplici grafici invece di lunghi testi letterari. La competenza che viene valutata è la lettura attenta sotto pressione di tempo, poco più di un minuto a domanda.

Come usare questo assaggio

Ogni domanda qui sotto è autonoma: leggi il breve brano, rispondi, vai avanti. Resisti alla tentazione di rispondere in base a ciò che sai già. Le domande di lettura del TEAS si possono sempre risolvere con il solo brano, e le opzioni sbagliate di solito sono affermazioni vere in generale ma non sostenute dal testo che hai davanti.

Quando hai finito, leggi le spiegazioni sia delle risposte giuste sia di quelle sbagliate. Ti mostrano perché ogni risposta corretta nasce dal brano. Se le domande di inferenza ti hanno messo in difficoltà, rallenta e chiediti cosa il brano lascia intendere senza dirlo. Se hai sbagliato una domanda su fatto e opinione, cerca parole di giudizio come best o should. Gli assaggi di scienze, matematica e inglese qui sotto coprono le altre tre sezioni.
