What do you bring to the table… academically?
Every college-level educational program begins with a solid foundation in Reading, Math, Science, and English and Language Usage. Your previous educational roles might have given you all the preparation you need. On the other hand, you might have just gotten by, or perhaps it’s been quite a while since you had to tackle those subjects in school.
In any case, ATI is there for you, getting you started on the road to nursing licensure with an assessment of your abilities in those essential areas. ATI calls it the Test of Essential Academic Skills – TEAS® for short. Your nursing school might have you take it as an entrance exam. Basically, it has four parts that ask you to answer multiple-choice questions covering the following:
Reading – paragraph comprehension, passage comprehension, and inferences/conclusions (40 items, 50 minutes)
Math – whole numbers, metric conversion, fractions, decimals, algebraic equations, percentages, and ratio/proportion (45 items, 56 minutes)
Science –science reasoning, science knowledge, biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, basic physical principles, and general science (30 items, 38 minutes)
English and Language Usage – punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, contextual words, and spelling (55 items, 65 minutes)
Your TEAS® scores are stored by ATI and are available to you and to your school via the Internet. You can also have your TEAS® results sent to other nursing schools at minimal cost. In any case, no worries! ATI will help you prepare for the TEAS® in several ways. Read on!
