ATI TEAS 7 FAQ
The TEAS 7, or Test of Essential Academic Skills Version 7, is a standardized entrance exam used by nursing schools and allied health programs. The test is meant to indicate to the school whether you’re prepared and have the skills needed to succeed in their programs before you start.
The TEAS includes 150 scored questions and 20 unscored questions for a total of 170 total questions.
Here’s the breakdown by subject:
Reading: 45 total questions (39 scored + 6 unscored)
– Key ideas and details (15)
– Craft and structure (9)
– Integration of knowledge & ideas (15)
Math: 38 questions (34 scored + 4 unscored)
– Numbers and algebra (18)
– Measurement and data (16)
Science: 50 questions (44 scored + 6 unscored)
– Human anatomy & physiology (18)
– Biology (9)
– Chemistry (8)
– Scientific reasoning (9)
English and Language Usage: (33 scored + 4 unscored)
– Conventions of standard English (12)
– Knowledge of language (11)
– Using Language and Vocabulary to Express Ideas in Writing (10)
Note that you won’t know which questions are scored during the TEAS exam. The unscored questions are mixed in with the others, so you should approach every question as if it counts towards your final score.
The TEAS 7 consists mostly of multiple choice questions. But there are 4 new questions types that have been added to the TEAS 7.
Multiple Select: There will be four or more answer choices, and there might be more than one correct option. The question will instruct you to “select all that apply.” Be careful, because any incorrect choices selected or any correct options left unselected will lead to the question being marked as incorrect.
Fill in the Blank: You will not be provided any answer options. These questions test your knowledge and ability to recall information without being guided by provided options.
Hot Spot: You will be given an image with 2-5 clickable hotspots. Click on the area that the question is asking about to answer these correctly.
Ordered Response: These questions ask you to accurately arrange a set of provided responses. Each question will present you with four to six responses, which you must carefully drag and place from a box on the left to a corresponding box on the right.
When scheduling your TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) exam, it’s advisable to plan at least 6 weeks of studying, as recommended by ATI. This time frame allows you to thoroughly prepare for the various sections of the exam. Additionally, consider that score reports take 72 hours to post after taking the test. This could be crucial if you have application deadlines to meet.
So, when determining the best time to schedule your TEAS exam, factor in at least 6 weeks for preparation and an additional 3 days for the score report. Align this with any deadlines or requirements from the nursing programs you are applying to, to ensure that you give yourself the best chance for success.
Rescheduling your exam depends on the location of your test. Here’s an overview:
Online: Rescheduling or refunding is not possible without documented emergency proof. Once purchased, the date is final. In case of emergencies like death in the family or medical issues, exceptions can be made by contacting [email protected] with detailed information and documentation.
At your school: Similar to at-home exams, rescheduling or refunding requires a documented emergency. Contact [email protected] with the required details.
At a PSI Testing Center: You can reschedule your exam up to 48 hours before the start date/time via the ATI website or by calling PSI Candidate Services at 833-537-1330.
Yes, the TEAS is always proctored, whether you take it online, at your school, or at a PSI Testing Center.
Online: If you choose to take the test at home, a remote proctor will monitor you through your computer’s webcam to ensure the integrity of the exam.
At school: You’ll be in a room with a live proctor present to oversee the exam.
At a PSI Testing Center: You’ll be in a room with a live proctor present to oversee the exam.
Proctoring is used to maintain the security and fairness of the test, so all examinees are monitored during the examination process.
Yes, but only 1 piece. If you test on location, you will be given 1 piece of scratch paper. If you test at home, you are allowed to use scratch paper, but you must show it to the online proctor, including the amount of scratch paper you have.
You’ll want to bring some essential items with you, including:
Valid Photo ID: This could be a driver’s license, passport, or other government-issued identification with your photograph and signature. It’s used to verify your identity.
Admission Ticket or Confirmation: If applicable, bring the admission ticket or confirmation email you received when you registered for the test.
Water and Snacks: Depending on the test center’s policy, you may be able to bring water and snacks for breaks.
Note: Personal items such as bags, mobile phones, calculators (unless provided by the test center), and other electronic devices are typically not allowed in the testing room. There may be designated areas to store these items during the test, but it’s best to check with the testing center ahead of time.
Yes, you can send your TEAS exam results (or TEAS Transcript) to more than one school by purchasing additional transcripts or Transcript Credits through ATI. You will see an option to send transcripts below your TEAS exam results.
A passing score for the TEAS test varies by school, and you should contact your school directly to find out the specific score considered passing. Most schools typically require at least a 70%. However, it’s important to note that merely achieving the passing grade may not be enough, as some schools admit students based on the highest scores. Therefore, you should aim for the highest score possible, not just the minimum passing grade.
About 40% of students fail the TEAS on their first try. If you fail the TEAS, it’s important not to be too discouraged.
Here’s what you can typically expect:
Retake Opportunities: Many schools and testing centers allow you to retake the TEAS after a waiting period. Be sure to check with your specific institution for their retake policy, as it may vary.
Evaluate Your Performance: Review your score report to identify areas where you may need improvement. Focus on those areas in your study preparation for the next attempt.
Consider Your Options: Talk to the admissions office of the school you’re applying to. Depending on the school, a lower score may not necessarily disqualify you from admission.
Seek Additional Help: Consider enrolling in a preparatory course or finding resources that can help you understand and master the areas where you struggled.

ATI uses multiple versions of the TEAS test, so will not encounter the same test twice. However, each variation follows the same structure and breakdown.
It varies from person to person. While ATI recommends allocating six weeks for preparation, the actual time needed largely depends on your familiarity with the material. Some have succeeded with just a week of study. We suggest beginning with our free practice test to identify areas needing more focus, which will guide your study plan. Ensure you start early enough to avoid feeling rushed.
We make our practice tests as close as possible to the real TEAS 7 exam so you are prepared as possible when you take it. NurseHub teaches you all of the concepts that you will see on the exam so you feel prepared and confident going in.

2. Math
– Numbers and algebra
– Measurement and data
3.Science
– Human anatomy & physiology
– Biology
– Chemistry

Science: 60 minutes (50 questions)
ELU: 37 minutes (37 questions)
The total time for the exam is 209 minutes, which is just under 2.5 hours.
With 170 questions in 209 minutes, you have about 1 minute and 13 seconds per question. Time is limited, so preparation is key. That’s why our TEAS prep includes 10 full test simulations and thousands of practice questions to boost your accuracy and speed.
You can sign up for the TEAS on ATI’s website: https://www.atitesting.com/teas/register
Yes, you can take the TEAS at home online, or in-person at your school or nearest PSI Testing Center.
If you take the TEAS at home, you’ll need a computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. A remote proctor will monitor you through your computer’s webcam to ensure the integrity of the exam.
Before you begin, you may also need to show your workspace to the proctor, so make sure to have everything set up according to the guidelines provided by the testing agency.
The cost to take the TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) can vary depending on the location and institution, with prices typically ranging from $60 to $140. It’s advisable to check with the specific testing center or the school to which you are applying, as they may have additional fees or offer discounts for their students.
You are allowed a 10-minute bathroom break after completing the Mathematics section of the TEAS exam.
During this break, you cannot access personal items like cell phones or notes, and taking excessive time may lead to a review of your exam.
After the break, you can proceed to the Science section.
The exam sections follow this order: Reading, Mathematics, Science, and English and Language Usage.
Yes, most schools permit the use of a calculator during the test, but you cannot bring your own. Instead, you will be provided with a basic four-function (add, subtract, multiply, divide) calculator on your screen, similar to the calculator app on your phone or computer.
Scores should be posted within 48 business hours. If you are testing at a PSI testing center, your ATI TEAS Exam results can take up to 72 business hours to appear in your account.
Your TEAS score report will include three types of scores, each calculated differently:
Total Score: This score is calculated using a method called equating. Some questions are weighted more heavily, and the total score reflects a combination of easier and harder questions. It’s the overall measure of how you performed on the entire exam.
Content Area Scores: These scores are calculated in the same way as the total score but are specific to each of the four main content areas (Reading, Math, Science, and English). They show how well you did in each subject .
Sub-Content Area Scores: These scores represent the percentage of questions you answered correctly in specific sub-areas within the content areas. For example, if you answer 4 out of 8 chemistry questions correctly, your Chemistry Sub-Content Area score would be 50%.
In summary, all these scores range from 0.0% to 100%, but they’re calculated differently. The Total and Content Area Scores, in particular, are adjusted to give more weight to more challenging questions.
According to the makers of the exam, 40% of people fail the TEAS on their first attempt.
The number of times you can take the ATI TEAS exam depends on individual nursing or allied health school policies. While ATI doesn’t set a limit on attempts, many schools do. Some institutions allow multiple retakes, possibly with a waiting period in between, such as 30 days or even 1 year. You should consult directly with the schools you’re interested in for their specific guidelines.
40% of students take the TEAS test more than once, often due to not properly reviewing the concepts before taking the exam. The biggest mistake you can make is to not study.
Step 1. Take a diagnostic test to see how you would score today.

NurseHub FAQ
We make our practice tests as close as possible to the real TEAS 7 exam so you are prepared as possible when you take it. NurseHub teaches you all of the concepts that you will see on the exam so you feel prepared and confident going in.

Study guides are a fine resource, but they fall short in 4 areas::
1. Paperback study guides cannot simulate the real testing environment. NurseHub’s simulations, unlike written tests in books, mirror the look and feel of the actual computerized exam, offering a true-to-life preparation experience.
2. Traditional study guides can be cumbersome and slow to navigate. NurseHub’s digital platform eradicates this inconvenience, allowing quick access to extensive practice questions and detailed answers without flipping through pages.
3. Paperback guides are often bulky and lack the flexibility to include comprehensive content. NurseHub’s online resources are not only more convenient but also provide an expansive array of practice questions.
4. Study guides are usually updated only once a year, risking outdated content if the test changes mid-year. NurseHub consistently updates our material to ensure relevance, so you always have access to the most current information.
