Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'good' score on the ATI TEAS 7?

Score requirements vary significantly by program. Competitive programs often seek scores at or above the 70th-80th national percentile. The TEAS 7 is scored on a scale, and you will receive an Adjusted Individual Score for each section plus an overall Composite Score. It is essential to research the specific minimum and competitive score benchmarks for each school you are applying to, as this is the most important metric for your target.

How is the TEAS 7 different from the TEAS 6?

The TEAS 7, launched in June 2022, features an updated blueprint with a slight shift in the number of questions per section and added question types. Key changes include the introduction of unscored pretest questions, new 'Select All That Apply' and ordered response items, and an increased focus on biology and chemistry within the Science section. The overall content domains remain consistent, but the question distribution and some emphases have been refined.

How many times can I take the TEAS 7, and how are multiple attempts handled?

ATI allows a maximum of three (3) attempts per admission cycle. Policies on which score schools accept vary: some take the highest score, some the most recent, and some an average. There is often a mandatory waiting period (e.g., 30 days) between attempts. Always verify your specific program's retake policy before scheduling a second or third attempt.

What is the best way to prepare for the TEAS 7?

Professional preparation involves a multi-step approach: 1) Obtain the official ATI TEAS Study Manual (7th edition) for the most accurate content outline. 2) Take a full-length, timed practice assessment to diagnose strengths and weaknesses. 3) Create a structured study schedule focusing on your low-scoring areas. 4) Utilize a combination of content review, concept practice, and strategy development. 5) Complete additional proctored practice exams to build stamina and familiarity with the testing interface.

Can I use a calculator on the TEAS 7 Math section?

Yes, but with a critical restriction. A four-function calculator is provided on-screen within the testing software for the Mathematics section only. You are NOT permitted to bring your own physical or handheld calculator. It is imperative to practice using a simple online four-function calculator during your preparation to build efficiency.
