Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the ATI TEAS Online Proctored exam and the in-person version?

The core content, structure (150 questions, 209 minutes), and scoring scale are identical. The key differences are delivery and proctoring. The online proctored exam is taken remotely on your computer under the supervision of a live online proctor via ATI's Proctorio software, which monitors your session. It offers greater scheduling flexibility but requires you to ensure your testing environment, computer, and internet connection meet strict technical requirements. The in-person version is taken at a designated testing center on their provided equipment.

What is a 'good' score on the ATI TEAS, and how is it calculated?

A 'good' score is program-specific, but competitive applicants often aim for an Adjusted Individual Total Score at or above the national mean (typically published by ATI) or their program's stated competitive benchmark, which can range from 65% to over 90%. Your score is based on the number of correct answers, which is then converted to an adjusted score that accounts for slight variations in difficulty between test forms. You receive a total score and separate scores for each of the four content areas. Always check the specific score requirements for your target schools.

How many times can I take the ATI TEAS, and what is the retake policy?

You may take the TEAS exam up to three (3) times in a 12-month period. A mandatory waiting period of 30 days is required between the first and second attempt, and a waiting period of 30 days is required between the second and third attempt. Most programs will only consider your highest score, but some may consider an average or the most recent score. It is crucial to verify the specific retake and score policy of each program to which you are applying before scheduling a retest.

What are the technical and environmental requirements for the online proctored exam?

You must have a reliable computer (desktop or laptop) with a webcam, microphone, and a strong, stable internet connection. You will need to download secure proctoring software. Your testing room must be private, quiet, and well-lit, with a clear workspace free of prohibited items (phones, notes, secondary monitors, etc.). The proctor will require a 360-degree view of your room and may deny testing if requirements are not met. Detailed requirements are provided by ATI upon registration.

What are the best resources for preparing for the ATI TEAS?

ATI's official study resources are the most aligned with the exam blueprint and question style. These include the ATI TEAS Study Manual, Online Practice Assessments (Form A & B), and the ATI TEAS SmartPrep tutorial. Comprehensive study guides from reputable publishers, anatomy & physiology textbooks, and focused review of high-school level math and science concepts are also highly recommended. Consistent practice with timed, full-length tests is critical for building endurance and familiarity.
