As of August 31, 2016, the TEAS V was retired and replaced by an updated version, the ATI TEAS (also referred to as the TEAS 6). The ATI TEAS exam is comprised of 170 questions set up in a multiple-choice format with four-option answers. The test is broken up in 4 sections:
| Reading | Mathematics | Science | English & Language Usage | |

Currently, we are not taking any reservations. An application to reserve a spot will be the last week of January. We will NOT accept old forms to reserve your spot. We will be asking for a $30.00 deposit check to reserve your seat. It is only cashed if you do not show up the day of the exam, or if you do not give us a 24 hour notice of cancellation.
We only accept the first passing score within 365 days. For example, say you took ATI TEAS in Jan 2019 and received a 79.3% score, you will have to wait approx. 365 days to retest if you want to aim/use a better score.
You must score with a 62% or above on the TEAS exam to apply to the RN program. If a student does not receive a passing score at Saddleback, a student must remediate to re-take the ATI TEAS exam within that 365 days.
