No, the ILC does not provide tutoring for the TEAS. See the Helpful TEAS Preparation Links handout.

Wake Tech accepts ATI TEAS Version 7, ATI TEAS and TEAS V scores as long as they are within three years of your specific program application deadline.

The reading section will task students with interpreting passages and visual data. The mathematics section tests students' knowledge of algebra, measurements and data application. The science section evaluates students' knowledge of human biology, life science and physical science. The English language and usage section tests grammar and spelling.

You will go to the ATI TEAS webpage and follow the instructions. Payment will be due at the time you register for the test. Once an exam date is purchased, it is final.

If you have taken the TEAS exam at another college or facility, you will need to send your scores directly from ATI Testing. Wake Tech does not accept printed scores. To request your scores, visit atitesting.com, log-in, select "Online Store" at the top, then select "TEAS Transcript."

Make sure the tests meet these requirements:

• Exam was completed within three years of the application deadline
• Exam has all four sections (reading, math, science and English) 
• Either ATI TEAS 7, ATI TEAS or TEAS 5 
• Only your first or second attempt in a calendar year. If you have multiple attempts, they must be at least 30 days apart. 

You may email the Health Sciences Admissions and Advising team at [email protected] if you have questions before sending your scores.  

To do your best on the TEAS, make sure that you meet all minimum reading, writing and mathematics requirements for your program. If any pre-curriculum courses are necessary, complete those courses before taking the TEAS.

It is advisable not to take the TEAS until minimum placement test scores have been met or minimum course requirements have been completed. It is also advisable to take the TEAS after you have completed ENG 111, ENG 112, BIO 168 and BIO 169 (for Nursing) or BIO 163 (for Radiography or Medical Sonography). You should also pay close attention to published application deadlines to make sure you complete the TEAS in time. 

Please do not wait to the last minute to take the TEAS.  Many students wait until a week before an application deadline to try to register for an exam date only to find out they are already full.

For Nursing, students must meet the minimum composite score of 59 to be eligible to apply to clinical Nursing. The composite score is not the total score that is printed on the score report.

• 0%-58% Composite score= Ineligible to apply*
• 59%-70% Composite score = 0 points
• 71%-80% Composite Score = 6 points
• 81%-90% Composite Score = 12 points
• 91%-100% Composite Score = 20 points

* If your score is in this category, please see Adriana Rodriguez (TEAS Administrator) or a Health Sciences advisor at the Perry Health Sciences Campus.

The composite score is an average of an applicant’s reading, math, science and English and language usage scores. Applicants may take the TEAS multiple times; their highest score in each area will be used in calculating the composite score. Note that TEAS scores are reported as percentages, in decimal format (e.g., 70.5%). TEAS scores will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (0.4 or lower will be rounded down, while 0.5 or higher will be rounded up).

Example: A student takes the TEAS exam and makes the following scores: reading 82.5%, math 71.1%, science 63.3%, and English 74.5%.

In this example, the student’s composite score equals 73. So, the student would receive 6 points.

The Radiography TEAS point chart is as follows:

• 0%-62% Composite score = 0 points
• 63%-70% Composite score = 3 points
• 71%-80% Composite Score = 6 points
• 81%-90% Composite Score = 12 points
• 91%-100% Composite Score = 20 points
