The ATI TEAS, or Test of Essential Academic Skills, is designed specifically to assess a student's preparedness for entering the health science fields. The ATI TEAS test comprises 170 questions set up in a multiple-choice format with four-option answers. 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.
No, the ILC does not provide tutoring for the TEAS. Please see the Helpful TEAS Preparation Links handout.
We accept the ATI TEAS and TEAS V scores as long as they are within three years of the application deadline you are applying to. The ATI TEAS Version 7 exam will be released on June 3, 2022.
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.
Yes. Log into your atitesting.com account and request a TEAS transcript through their online store. You will select " Wake Tech CC" to have your scores transferred to us.
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.
The Radiography TEAS point chart is as follows:
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 79.5%, math 62.1%, science 68.3% and English 74.5%.
Reading Math Science English |
79.5% 62.1% 68.3% 74.5% |
rounded up to rounded down to rounded down to rounded up to |
80 62 68 75 |
In this example, the student's composite score equals 71. So, the student receives 6 points in the competitive ranking process. |

285 / 4 = 71 |
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.
