Nursing Entrance Exam (TEAS)
The TEAS exam is used for admission to certain nursing schools as a nursing entrance exam. The Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) of Leawood, Kansas, administers it. Different programs require different exams: for example, some schools expect applicants to take the Nurse Entrance Test (NET) or the National League for Nursing Pre- Admission Examination (NLN PAX-RN). Other schools give you a variety of entrance exams from which to choose. Still others require the TEAS exclusively. Some may require TEAS 3.0 or 4.0; others may require TEAS V or a later exam, and a few may allow you a choice among the different versions of TEAS
To know whether the school or schools of your choice require the TEAS, visit their websites or call their admissions offices. Before you begin to study, make sure that you are studying for the correct test.
The nursing entrance exam is given at testing sites around the country, often at nursing schools or community colleges. The dates of the test depend on the application dates for the nursing school where you take the test. Some sites offer only online testing, others offer only paper-and-pencil versions of the test, and some offer both
Before you take the test, you must log onto the ATI website and set up an account. Remember the username and password you use for your account – you will need them when you log in for the electronic version of the test. Test sites are listed on the ATI’s website. You will also need to register at the testing site and pay a fee as designated by that site.
You have the option of designating recipients of your transcript when you take the nursing entrance exam. It may take up to 48 hours for scores to be sent out. Check with your chosen nursing programs to find out when they need score transcripts. Then work backward from that date to determine when you should take the test.
If you take the test at the nursing school that you hope to attend, the date of the test will be designed to mesh with that school’s application dates.
If you are taking a pencil-and-paper version of the test, you will need several sharpened number 2 pencils with erasers that work well and erase thoroughly. If you are taking TEAS online, you will need your ATI account username and password. For either form of the test, you must present one form of government-issued identification. Passports, driver’s licenses, or green cards are fine; credit card photos or student IDs are not.
You may not use any resources such as calculators or reference books. You may not carry a cell phone, pager, or other electronic device. You may not bring food or beverages into the testing site
You will receive a printed transcript, which will include a variety of numbers. In the top right corner is your adjusted composite score, which is the number of correct answers divided by the total number of questions, adjusted for the difficulty level of the test you took. Below that number is the national mean, which is the average of the adjusted composite scores for all people who took this particular version of the test. Below that is the program mean, which is the average of the adjusted composite scores for all people who took this particular version of the test and are in a program similar to yours. Below that are the national percentile rank ant the program percentile rank. These figures show how you rate compared to other people who took the test.
A table below these headings shows the breakdown of skills- how you performed in the various subcategories within the tested areas of reading, mathematics, science, and English and language usage. Some schools look specifically at these breakdowns; others may only be interested in you adjusted composite score.
At the end of your electronic test, you will receive a printed score report. The facility where you took your test will be able to access that score online. If you take a pencil-and –paper version of the test you should receive your scores within 48 hours.
Your testing fee automatically includes the submission of scores to the facility where you took the test. If you want your transcript sent to other schools as well, it will cost you $22 per additional school. You can order transcripts, which are sent immediately via e-mail, by logging onto the ATI website at.
That depends on the program to which you are applying. Some nursing schools have specific cutoff points for each category – reading, mathematics, science, and English and language usage. Others accept entrants who have achieved a score equal to or better than the national average for that day’s test. Still others give greatest weight to the science section of the test. Many nursing schools look at the adjusted composite score, which is made up of the average score of all four sections. ATI will not interpret your scores; you must contact the nursing program of your choices to do that for you.
Some nursing programs allow you to take the TEAS three timed or more if your first scores are unacceptable. Again, the rules vary from program to program.
