,TEAS FAQs
What is the TEAS® 7?
The TEAS® 7, or Test of Essential Academic Skills™ Version 7, is a standardized entrance exam used by nursing
schools and allied health programs. The test is meant to indicate to the school whether you‟re prepared and
have the skills needed to succeed in their programs before you start.
Why is the TEAS® exam important?
The TEAS® exam is a critical component of the nursing school application process, as it evaluates a candidate‟s
preparedness for entering a nursing program. Many nursing schools require applicants to achieve a minimum
TEAS ® score as part of their admission criteria.
What subjects are tested?
The TEAS® is composed of 4 main subject areas, each further divided into specific sub-content areas:
1. Reading
• Key ideas and details
• Craft and structure
• Integration of knowledge & ideas
2. Math
• Numbers and algebra
• Measurement and data
3. Science
• Human anatomy & physiology
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Scienti昀椀c reasoning
4. English and Language Usage
• Conventions of standard English
• Knowledge of language
• Using language and vocabulary to express ideas in writing
How many questions are on the test?
There are 150 scored questions and 20 unscored questions on the TEAS® exam for a total of 170 total questions.
Note that you won‟t know which questions are scored during your actual exam. These unscored questions are
mixed in with the others, so you should approach every question as if it counts towards your 昀椀nal score.
Here‟s the breakdown by subject:

• Key ideas and details (15)
• Craft and structure (9)

, • Science: 50 questions (44 scored + 6 unscored)
• Human anatomy & physiology (18)

• English and Language Usage: 37 questions (33 scored + 4 unscored)
• Conventions of standard English (12)
• Knowledge of language (11)
• Using language and vocabulary to express ideas in writing (10)
How much time do I have to 昀椀nish?
There is a time limit for each section of the exam:
• Reading: 55 minutes (45 questions)
• Math: 57 minutes (38 questions)
• Science: 60 minutes (50 questions)
• ELU: 37 minutes (37 questions)
The total time for the exam is 209 minutes, which is just under 3.5 hours.
With 170 questions in 209 minutes, you have about 1 minute and 13 seconds per question. Time is limited, so
preparation is key. That‟s why NurseHub‟s TEAS prep includes 10 full test simulations for each subject (40 total)
and thousands of practice questions to boost your accuracy and speed.
Are all the questions multiple-choice?
The test consists mostly of multiple-choice questions. But there are 4 new question types that have been added
to the TEAS® 7.
• Multiple Select: There will be 4 or more answer choices, and there may be more than one correct option.
The question will instruct you to “select all that apply.” Be careful because any incorrect choices selected or
any correct options left unselected will lead to the question being marked as incorrect.
• Fill in the Blank: You will not be provided any answer options. These questions test your knowledge and
ability to recall information without being guided by the provided options.
• Hot Spot: You will be given an image with 2 - 5 clickable hotspots. Click on the area that the question is
asking about to answer these correctly.
• Ordered Response: These questions ask you to accurately arrange a set of provided responses. Each
question will present you with 4 - 6 responses, which you must carefully drag and place from a box on the
left to a corresponding box on the right.
How do I register to take the exam?
You can sign up for the TEAS® on ATI‟s website.
When should I schedule my exam?
When scheduling your TEAS® exam, it‟s advisable to plan for at least 6 weeks of studying, as recommended
by ATI. This time frame allows you to thoroughly prepare for the various sections of the exam. Additionally,
consider that score reports take 72 hours to post after taking the test. This could be crucial if you have
application deadlines to meet.
So, when determining the best time to schedule your exam, factor in at least 6 weeks for preparation and an
additional 3 days for the score report. Align this with the deadlines and requirements of the nursing programs
you are applying to in order to maximize your chances of success.
