How You Can SupportATI TEAS Test
To ensure that candidates are prepared for the pace and rigor of the curriculum, ultimately leading to student success, we require applicants to take the ATI TEAS.
What is the TEAS?
The ATI TEAS, or Test of Essential Academic Skills, is a standardized test designed specifically to assess a student’s preparedness for entering the health science fields. Questions are designed to test the basic academic skills you will need to perform successfully in the areas of: Reading, Math, Science, and English and Language Usage.
Why do we ask you to take the TEAS?
The ATI TEAS has been statistically proven to be a valid predictor of early program success. Your score on the TEAS is one measure of academic preparedness that helps Carlow University consider your acceptance into our practical nursing program.
What does the TEAS consist of?
The ATI TEAS test is comprised of 170 questions that are formatted as both multiple-choice items with 4 answer options and alternate-type items. This includes 150 scored questions and 20 unscored pretest questions. Students have 209 minutes to complete the exam.
How should you prepare for the TEAS?
ATI, the official provider of prep for the exam, recommends that you allow yourself at least six weeks to prepare for the exam. There are a variety of prep resources available to help you study for the test – all aligned to the ATI TEAS, Version 7 and packed with thousands of practice questions based on the content and format of the actual exam.
How do you register for the TEAS?
You can take the TEAS online or in person. Should you prefer to take it in person, Carlow serves as a host site for the exam once a month. If you take the exam elsewhere, just be sure that you log back into your ATI account to send Carlow your scores after the exam. Please note that there is a fee associated with the exam.
