Yes. The TEAS test is a difficult test for many. It requires good preparation across all four subjects as well as preparation for the test style. Applicants tend to struggle with specific modules, such as the Science section or the English and Language Usage section. The time limit is tough, and every unanswered question is a lost point.
Free TEAS practice tests can help you improve your TEAS test score, but extensive TEAS test prep is needed to help you meet the minimum grades required by schools across all the different subjects. Should you be unhappy with your score, you may find that options to retake the TEAS test are limited. Some schools require a period of 14, 30, or 90 days between attempts while others will limit the number of times you can take the test in an academic year.
Thus, TEAS test practice is key to achieving the score you want, the first time.
The TEAS test is written by the Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI). As of August 31, 2016, ATI has released version 6 of the TEAS test, called the ATI TEAS. It is also sometimes referred to as the TEAS 6 edition or the ATI TEAS exam.
Prior to August 2016, the test was in its 5th version, officially called the TEAS Version 5.0 Exam, and known as TEAS V or TEAS 5—or simply as one of the possible nursing entrance exams. You can no longer take the TEAS V. Check with your program as to whether TEAS V scores are still accepted. As of of 2018, most programs no longer accept TEAS V scores.
The ATI nursing exam may be taken either on a computer or with paper and pencil. The test contains 170 questions and consists of four sections, each with its own time limit. The most important changes to note are:
Please note: TEAS V practice tests will not cover all the subject matter of the new ATI TEAS test.
