TEAS 7
The ATI TEAS Version 7 is the standardized entrance exam most US nursing schools and allied-health programs use to screen applicants before a seat is offered. For thousands of pre-nursing students it is the single hardest gate between them and an LPN, ADN, or BSN program — and because many schools admit by ranked composite score, your TEAS result doesn't just have to clear a cutoff, it has to beat the rest of the applicant pool. Miss the window and you wait an entire admission cycle. This page breaks down exactly what the TEAS tests, how it's delivered and proctored, and how to get it done right.

How the ATI TEAS Version 7 is built — at a glance
45
45 questions in 55 minutes (39 scored). Key ideas and details, craft and structure, and integration of knowledge and ideas across passages and graphics.
38
38 questions in 57 minutes (34 scored). Numbers and algebra plus measurement and data. A four-function on-screen calculator is provided.
50
50 questions in 60 minutes (44 scored) — the largest section. Heavily weighted toward human anatomy and physiology, plus biology, chemistry, and scientific reasoning.
37
37 questions in 37 minutes (33 scored). Conventions of standard English, knowledge of language, and using language to express ideas.
The four sections are each separately timed and always run in the same fixed order: Reading, Mathematics, Science, then English & Language Usage. Total testing time is 209 minutes. Each section ends when its own clock runs out, so banking time in one section does not carry over to the next — pacing is unforgiving, especially in the 60-minute, 50-question Science block.
The TEAS is not adaptive. Of the 170 questions, 150 are scored and 20 are unmarked pretest items you cannot tell apart. Your result is reported as a Composite Score — the overall percentage of scored questions you answered correctly — plus four individual section percentages. There is no universal pass mark: each nursing or allied-health program sets its own cutoff and often ranks applicants by composite.
Four content areas — bars show each section's share of the 150 scored questions
39 scored questions. You read dense passages, charts, labels, and instructions, then identify main ideas, follow multi-step directions, and integrate information — the literacy a nurse uses every shift.
34 scored questions on numbers, algebra, ratios, percentages, measurement, and data — the dosage-calculation and unit-conversion math that underpins safe clinical practice.
44 scored questions — the heaviest section. Human anatomy and physiology dominates, alongside biology, chemistry, and scientific reasoning. This is where most candidates lose the most ground.
33 scored questions on grammar, punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, and word meaning — the clear written communication expected in charting and handoffs.
Because Science carries the largest share of scored questions and most programs scrutinize the Science sub-score, a weak anatomy-and-physiology performance can pull your composite below a cutoff even when Reading and English are strong. Question types go well beyond multiple choice — expect multiple select, fill in the blank, ordered response, and hot-spot items that punish guessing.
The four TEAS 7 sections, question counts, and time limits
| Section | Total Qs | Scored Qs | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading | 45 | 39 | 55 min |
| Mathematics | 38 | 34 | 57 min |
| Science | 50 | 44 | 60 min |
| English & Language Usage | 37 | 33 | 37 min |
| Total | 170 | 150 | 209 min |
The 20 unscored pretest questions are spread across the sections and are indistinguishable from scored items, so you must treat every question as if it counts.
Three ways to sit the TEAS — and what to expect on test day
Many candidates sit the TEAS in a proctored computer lab at the nursing school they're applying to, or at a PSI test center. Staff verify your government-issued ID and monitor the room. On-campus fees commonly run $70–$110; the national PSI option is usually around $120.
The TEAS at Home is taken from a private room through the ATI online portal using the Proctorio Chrome extension. You install the extension, pass a system and webcam check, complete an ID verification and 360° room scan, and a proctor monitors your camera and screen throughout. The online fee is typically about $120.
Use Google Chrome with the Proctorio extension, a working webcam and microphone, and a valid government photo ID. Proctorio captures your photo and ID before the exam unlocks; your name must match your ATI account.
A clear desk, no second monitor, no phone or notes within reach, and a webcam pan of the room. Proctorio flags background noise, faces leaving frame, and other people entering the room.
Stay in frame and on-camera the whole time. The browser is locked down — switching tabs, copying text, or losing your connection can flag or end the session. Breaks between sections are limited by your testing site's rules.
The TEAS gates entry to nursing and allied-health programs
No formal prerequisites — but the bar is set by your competition
Difficulty: The content is high-school to early-college level, but the TEAS is hard for three reasons applicants consistently report — a 50-question, 60-minute Science block that leans heavily on anatomy and physiology, tight per-section clocks with no carryover, and the fact that selective programs admit by ranked composite, so clearing the floor is rarely enough. That ranking pressure is exactly the pain point our help is built to remove.
The TEAS is a high-stakes, time-boxed test sitting between you and a nursing-school seat — and because many programs rank applicants by composite, a near-miss can cost you a whole cycle. Exam Assist pairs you with a vetted TEAS specialist and works on a pay-after-you-pass model, so the risk sits with us, not you. No upfront fee, guaranteed results: Exam Assist handles the sitting end to end, and you settle only after the verified result.
Tell us your target composite, delivery method (school center, PSI, or TEAS at Home via Proctorio), test date, and the program cutoff you need to clear. Takes a couple of minutes over WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord.
We review your timeline, the Science load, and your target composite and tell you plainly whether it's realistic — before any money is discussed. If it isn't a fit, we say so.
Exam Assist handles the sitting end to end. You're matched with a TEAS specialist who maps the work around the fixed section order, the per-section clocks, and the Proctorio environment — discreetly and confidentially.
You only pay once your passing composite is confirmed on your official ATI score report. No verified result, nothing owed.
