Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TEAS 7 and how is it different from earlier versions?

The TEAS 7 is the current version of the ATI TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills), updated in June 2022. Compared to TEAS 6, the seventh edition reorganized some content areas and adjusted question distribution. The four sections - Reading, Math, Science, and English and Language Usage - stayed the same, but you'll find a heavier emphasis on interpreting data and applying science concepts rather than straight memorization.

How is the TEAS scored and what score do nursing programs require?

Your TEAS score is reported as a composite percentage along with individual section scores. Most nursing programs look for a composite score somewhere between 58% and 78%, though competitive BSN programs often want 75% or higher. There's no single universal passing score - each school sets its own cutoff, so always check with the specific programs you're applying to.

Can I retake the TEAS if I don't score well enough?

Yes, you can retake the TEAS. ATI allows up to three attempts, but individual schools may have their own retake policies - some limit you to two attempts within a 12-month period. You'll need to pay the registration fee again for each retake. It's worth noting that some programs average your scores or only look at the most recent one, so check their policy before scheduling a retake.

How long should I study for the TEAS?

Most students find that 4 to 6 weeks of focused preparation works well, though it really depends on your starting point. If you've been out of school for a while, you might want 8 weeks or more - especially for the Science section, which tends to trip people up the most. Studying a little each day is generally more effective than cramming everything into a single week.

Which section of the TEAS is the hardest?

Science is widely considered the toughest section for most students. It covers human anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry, and scientific reasoning - that's a lot of ground to cover. Math tends to be the second most challenging area, particularly for students who haven't practiced algebra or ratios recently. But honestly, your personal strengths matter more than general trends here.

Am I allowed to use a calculator on the TEAS?

You won't be able to bring your own calculator, but ATI provides a built-in four-function calculator on the screen during the Math section only. It handles basic operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. No scientific or graphing calculators are available, so make sure you're comfortable working with fractions, percentages, and conversions using just a basic calculator.

What subjects does the TEAS cover in each section?

The Reading section tests paragraph comprehension, informational source analysis, and integration of ideas. Math covers numbers, algebra, measurement, and data interpretation. Science includes human anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry, and scientific reasoning. English and Language Usage focuses on conventions of standard English, vocabulary, and knowledge of language. The Science section has the most questions at 50, while English has the fewest at 37.

How much does the TEAS cost and where can I take it?

Registration typically costs between $90 and $115, depending on whether you take it at a PSI testing center or through your school. Many nursing programs offer on-campus testing dates, which can sometimes be cheaper. You can register through the ATI website and choose either a remote proctored session or an in-person appointment. Some schools include the fee in their application costs, so it's worth asking.
