How this TEAS practice test works

The real ATI TEAS has 170 questions in four sections, and 150 of them are scored: Reading (45 questions), Math (38), Science (50) and English and Language Usage (37). This practice test is a shorter version with the same four sections in the same order: 13 reading, 11 math, 15 science and 11 English questions in 60 minutes, which is close to the 74 seconds a question the real test allows.

It is multiple choice only. The real TEAS also uses multiple-select, fill-in-the-blank, hot-spot and ordered-response questions, so use the free TEAS test guide to see what each looks like. Every question here is original to LifeScore; none comes from the TEAS.

Blanks count as wrong, so a quick guess beats a skip.

How to read your TEAS estimate

ATI reports your TEAS result as a percentage and groups it into levels: Developmental (below about 41%), Basic (to about 58%), Proficient (about 59% to 79%), Advanced (80% to 91%) and Exemplary (92% and above). We estimate your level from your score on this test. It is a rough guide: ATI weights questions and does not publish how, so your real percentage can differ by several points.

Nursing programs set their own minimums, and they vary widely. Many ask for Proficient or better, and competitive programs often ask for 70% to 80% or higher. See what is a good TEAS score for how levels and program cut-offs work, or try the TEAS score calculator with your own section scores.

Can you raise your TEAS score?

Yes. Most gains come from fixing one or two weak subtopics, not from studying everything: unit conversions and percent problems in math, a body system you have not studied in science, or comma and agreement rules in English. How to pass the TEAS sets out a two-week plan.

The prep pack explains every answer, shows your time on each question, adds two more full practice tests and builds a 7-day plan around your weakest TEAS section.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the real TEAS?

No. It is an original practice test on the four TEAS subjects. LifeScore is not affiliated with Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI), and real TEAS questions are not public.

Is the TEAS practice test free?

Yes. The full test, your estimated score, level and section breakdown are free with no sign-up. Explained answers, two more tests and a study plan are in the one-off prep pack.

How many questions are on the TEAS?

The ATI TEAS 7 has 170 questions, of which 150 are scored and 20 are unscored pretest questions that look the same. It is split into Reading (45), Math (38), Science (50) and English and Language Usage (37).

How long is the TEAS?

The four sections add up to 209 minutes: 55 for Reading, 57 for Math, 60 for Science and 37 for English. Once you finish or run out of time in a section, you cannot return to it.

What score do I need on the TEAS?

It depends on the school. ATI calls 58.7% and above Proficient and 80% and above Advanced, and many nursing programs ask for Proficient or higher, with competitive programs asking for more. Check the requirement of every program you apply to.

Can I use a calculator on the TEAS?

The real TEAS provides a basic on-screen calculator for the math section. This practice test is calculator-free, which is the safer way to build speed.
