  Be Ready to take the TEAS

  Make sure you have met all minimum English, Biology, and Mathematics requirements for your program of interest. If pre-curriculum courses are necessary, complete the English and Biology courses before taking the TEAS. It is recommended to take the ATI TEAS exam after you have completed ENG 111, BIO 168, BIO 169 (for Nursing) or BIO 163 (all other health science programs). You must take the TEAS before your application deadline. Do not wait until the last minute to take the TEAS.

  Effective June 19, 2025, final scores for remote TEAS at ATI exams will be available three business days after the exam is completed (excluding weekends and major holidays).
