Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on the ATI TEAS exam?

How long is the ATI TEAS exam?

The exam takes approximately 209 minutes (3 hours and 29 minutes) of testing time, plus check-in time. There is a 10-minute break between the Math and Science sections.

What is a passing score on the ATI TEAS?

Can you use a calculator on the TEAS?

Yes, a basic 4-function calculator is available within the test interface for some math questions. It is NOT available for all math questions, so practice both with and without a calculator.

What is ATI TEAS 7?

ATI TEAS 7 is the most current version of the TEAS exam, released in 2022. It updated the science content, added more emphasis on anatomy and physiology, revised reading passages, and updated some math content. All our practice questions are aligned to ATI TEAS 7.

How should I study for the TEAS exam?

The most effective strategy is: (1) take a full diagnostic test to identify weak areas, (2) focus study time on your 2 weakest sections, (3) do 50+ practice questions daily, (4) take at least 3 full-length practice tests before exam day.
