You shouldn't be studying for the NCLEX. You haven't started nursing school.
As for TEAs, you'll want to find out if yours has the science section required. If it does, it is VERY important to learn the material. I double checked, and it looks like 68% of the TEAs science section is A&P. Speaking only for myself, I found A&P to be very challenging. When I took the series, I had already taken Intro to Biology without lab, General Biology 1 with lab, and Intro to Chemistry with Lab. If you're new to lab sciences, allow yourself double whatever study time you think you'll need. It would also be good just to pick up a second hand used A&P college textbook to see what you're getting into before you start. For *me* I didn't need to take the TEAs for nursing admission, I took the HESI (no A&P) but I know 3 people in real life who didn't get into nursing school or failed out due to A&P. I'm not trying to scare you , I just want to elevate it to a level of importance- it's a big deal and will take a big space in your brain. (passing the class might not be bad, I passed both mine with "A" but that was with all open book quizzes and exams - I didn't have to retain it all for another exam and I when I took my graduate nutrition courses, there was still a lot I realized I didn't remember).
