FAQs
What is on the TEAS?
The TEAS exam contains four sections. There is a Reading section that contains 45 questions that are timed for 55 minutes. The Mathematics section consists of 38 questions that are timed for 57 minutes. The Science section of the TEAS exam has 50 questions and are timed for 60 minutes. Finally, the English and Language Usage section has 37 questions which are timed for 37 minutes.
What is the composite score on the TEAS test?
The composite score for the TEAS test is your main score. This score is a combination of how well you did on all four sections of the TEAS test. Every school has different criteria for admission when it comes to your score, but most schools require your composite score to be at least 60% to 70%.
How long is the TEAS test results good for?
Scores for the TEAS test are valid for 24 months after you take the exam.
Can you use a calculator on the TEAS?
Calculators are allowed to be used on the TEAS exam. However, calculators will be provided for use. If you are taking the online version of the TEAS exam, the calculator will be a digital version on the computer.
Is the TEAS test all multiple choice?
The paper-and-pencil version of the exam consists of all multiple-choice questions. The computerized version of the TEAS 7 consists of five different question types: multiple-choice, multiple-select, supply answer, hot spot, and ordered response. There are 170 total questions on the TEAS test. However, your score will only be measured on 150 questions, while the other 20 are sample questions. You will not know which are scored questions and which are sample questions.
Can I go back to a question on the TEAS test?
Yes, you can return to a question you have completed or skipped but only in your current section.
How long do you have to take the TEAS?
The TEAS exam is timed for 209 minutes and contains just 170 questions. There is a 10-minute break after the second section that is not considered part of the 209 minutes allocated for the test.
Can you retake the TEAS?
If you didn’t get the score you were expecting on the TEAS test, you are allowed to retake the exam. If you wish to retake the TEAS test, you may be required to wait 30 days before re-testing, depending on the school you will be attending. Some nursing schools will allow you to retake the TEAS test twice while other nursing schools may allow you to retake the test multiple times.

TEAS Study Guide Customer Success Stories
Our customers love the tutorial videos from Mometrix Academy that we have incorporated into our TEAS test book. The TEAS study guide reviews below are examples of customer experiences.This is the only study guide I used, and I got a 92. I recommend using the first practice test as a starting point to determine what you need to study, then spend some time studying before taking the second and third practice tests. I really liked that there were explanations for the correct answers. It worked really well for me and have already recommended it to several others.
TEAS Study Guide – RachelSo far it's WAY better than the "official" study guide... which pretty much just tells you "your heart pumps blood... Google it" plus then you gotta spend like 100 dollars on 2 practice tests that you can only take once. Plus you can't beat the free video reviews.
TEAS Study Guide – CustomerYesterday, I took my TEAS test after using this guide for approximately three weeks, and I am pleased to have earned an 88% with a national percentile rank of 97. First off, let me say I recommend what the others in the comments say as well. Take one practice test first and see where you stand. Then use the rest of the material to practice what you have missed.
So let me give you all a quick breakdown of the sections in this book.
Reading: the reading portion is very general and is something that I would recommend studying and practicing for using only the practice tests in the back. The reading questions on the TEAS test and in this book are highly similar. Focus on the author's purpose / tone. And always be able to identify the type of writing such as a narrative or expository work.
Math: The questions offered in this book are a little more difficult than the ones offered on the actual TEAS test. I felt that this book highly prepared me for this section [I scored a 100% c:]. A few things I found important to remember are conversion units for metric (the TEAS test offered SOME of the conversions but do not rely on them being there) and the rules for multiplying and dividing fractions. Since statistics is tested, albeit very slightly, I would recommend you study the regression charts and lessons for positive/negative skew.
Science: This is by far the hardest section on the actual test. Students should adequately review their A&P I&II notes along side of this book. The book focuses highly on anatomy and biological process, as well as very basic chemistry. Some topics I would recommend for students to reassess are: the components and anatomy of eukaryotes / prokaryotes, ionic and covalent bonds, the products of both mitosis and meiosis, and DNA replication.
English: the English section is not as difficult as the other sections, but when you are being graded out of 24 questions, it is imperative that you do well and score as many points possible. Test yourself with flash cards the most commonly misspelled words, prefixes and suffixes. Know how to find the implicit definition of a word using context as well. The book really helped me the most when it came to subject-verb agreements and pronoun-antecedents.
In conclusion, this is a wonderful guide that will wrack and plumb your brain for all of the information you should have learned up to this point. It is very short and 'to-the-point' in comparison to the other study guides available. Certainly consider picking up the official test guide from ATI, especially if you're still finishing up your pre-requisite courses. But if you're normally an adept student with your pre-requisites finished who wants a very straight-forward review, I highly recommend this guide over the rest.
This book is amazing, the materials are very easy to follow and instructions on how to take the exam are very helpful. I currently have two jobs so being able to have something that is easy to follow and explain concepts clearly, perfectly fit my needs. I am slowly building more confidence the more I read and solve practice questions in this book. I have already recommended this book to a friend and I hope she finds it just as useful as I have.
TEAS Study Guide – AugustineThis product in its entirety really help me get the understanding I needed to achieve my goal in passing the Teas test. I've taken the test only once before and wish I had this book then. Thank you for the easy break down of study material and can't wait to give you the passing results. I'm more confident than I was the first time and feel better prepared. I recommend this book to anyone needing to pass the teas test to get into your nursing program. There are also some good reviews from nursing students on you tube about this study guide. Good luck everyone.
TEAS Study Guide – ShortThis study material meets my needs. I really appreciate how it is very well organized with sections with "key ideas" and detailed answer explanations, along with including three ATI TEAS Practice Test. I truly appreciate the comprehensive list of topics included in this amazing book! Thank you very much, Mometrix!
