ABOUT ATI TEAS TEST
All Nursing program applicants are required to take the ATI TEAS exam prior to applying. You must score with a 62% or higher to be eligible to apply to the RN program. We only take the first score within approx. 365 days. If student does not pass on 1st attempt, student should remediate and wait approx. 365 days from 1st attempt to retest.
We do not accept the HESI A2 Exam. In June 2022, a new version of the ATI TEAS exam will be released (TEAS version 7). We will continue to take version 6 up until December 30th, 2022. If you take both versions within that 6 month time period, we would take the higher score (can only be done once). After December 30th, 2022 you will be required to take the new version 7.
The ATI TEAS exam version 6 is comprised of 170 questions set up in a multiple-choice format with four-option answers. The test is broken up in 4 sections:
