Frequently Asked Questions

What math topics are covered on the TEAS?

The TEAS Math section covers two main content areas: Numbers and Algebra, and Measurement and Data. You'll see questions on whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, proportions, algebraic expressions, and equations. The measurement side includes unit conversions, geometric concepts, and interpreting data from charts, tables, and graphs.

Can I use a calculator on the TEAS Math section?

You can't bring your own calculator, but ATI provides a basic four-function calculator on screen during the Math section. It handles addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division - that's it. No scientific or graphing calculators are available, so you'll want to practice working with fractions and percentages using only basic operations.

How many math questions are on the TEAS?

The Math section has 38 questions total, but only 34 of them actually count toward your score. The other 4 are unscored pretest questions that ATI uses for future test development. You won't know which ones are unscored, so treat every question like it matters.

How should I study for the TEAS Math section?

Start by identifying your weak spots - most students struggle with fractions, ratios, or unit conversions. Spend 2 to 4 weeks practicing those areas specifically. Work through practice problems daily rather than cramming, and make sure you're comfortable with the on-screen four-function calculator since that's all you'll have on test day.

What score do I need to pass the TEAS Math section?

There's no universal passing score for the Math section alone - it depends on the nursing program you're applying to. Most schools look at your composite TEAS score, which typically needs to fall between 58% and 70%. Some competitive programs want even higher. Check directly with your target schools for their specific requirements.

Is the TEAS Math harder than regular high school math?

The TEAS Math section is roughly at a high school algebra level, so if you did well in Algebra 1 and basic geometry, you're in decent shape. The difficulty isn't so much about advanced concepts - it's more about applying fundamentals quickly under time pressure. You get about 90 seconds per question, so speed and accuracy both matter.

How many times can I retake the TEAS?

ATI allows up to three attempts on the TEAS. However, individual nursing programs often have their own retake policies - some only accept two attempts within a certain timeframe. You'll need to pay the registration fee again each time. Before scheduling a retake, check whether your program averages scores or takes the most recent one.
