How long a score is valid
Not published by ATI. ATI’s TEAS Exam Details page does not state how long a TEAS score stays valid or set an expiry for it. Programs that require a recent score set that requirement themselves.Checked against: ATI, TEAS Exam Details, verified 7 August 2026

Always verify: your nursing or allied health program decides which TEAS score it requires and how it weighs the four sections, and ATI does not set a national cutoff. Confirm current registration details, section policies and score-reporting rules with ATI, and get your target score from your program’s own admissions page before you book.

4 questions from our ATI TEAS 7 bank

Four questions from our TEAS 7 bank, one from each of the four content areas. Each shows its full explanation as soon as you answer, including why the other options fail.

ATI TEAS 7 · Free practice Every answer explained. No signup, no email wall.

  1. Question 1 of 4

    A laboratory technician measures a solution's pH as 3.0. Which best describes this solution?
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: Strongly acidic

    The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral; a pH of 3.0 is well below neutral and close to the acidic end of the scale, indicating a strongly acidic solution with a high concentration of hydrogen ions. A weakly acidic solution would have a pH closer to 6, nearer neutrality. Neutral solutions, like pure water, have a pH of exactly 7. Strongly basic solutions have pH values well above 7, such as bleach at pH 12-13, the opposite end of the spectrum.

  2. Question 2 of 4

    The prefix hyper- most nearly means—
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: above normal or excessive

    The prefix hyper- derives from Greek and means over, above, or excessive, as seen in words like hypertension (elevated blood pressure) and hyperactive (excessively active). Below normal describes the opposite prefix, hypo-, as in hypotension. Within or inside describes the prefix endo- or intra-, not hyper-. Against or opposing describes the prefix anti- or contra-. Correctly distinguishing hyper- from hypo- is a frequent word-part item on the TEAS vocabulary and reading sections because the two prefixes look similar but carry opposite meanings.

  3. Question 3 of 4

    What is 7/8 expressed as a percent?
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: 87.5%

    Convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator: 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875. Multiply by 100 to express as a percent: 87.5%. The distractor 77.5% may result from an arithmetic slip in the long division, 82.5% mimics a value close to but below the true quotient, and 92.5% overestimates the fraction's value. Recognizing that eighths increase in 12.5% increments (1/8 = 12.5%, so 7/8 = 7 × 12.5%) offers a quick mental-math check.

  4. Question 4 of 4

    Maria left the pharmacy without her prescription bag, then hurried back inside ten minutes later, her face flushed and her cell phone still pressed to her ear. What can the reader reasonably infer about Maria?
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: She was likely distracted by a phone conversation when she left the pharmacy.

    Inference requires combining textual clues with logical reasoning rather than restating what is stated outright. The phone still pressed to her ear as she returns strongly suggests the call distracted her from grabbing her bag. Choice B introduces intent not supported by any evidence in the passage. Choice C assumes a cause for her flushed face that the passage never links to the pharmacist. Choice D contradicts the scenario, since she is returning for a bag she never picked up. Strong inferences stay tightly anchored to given details.

What actually trips people up

Section time does not carry over, and Science is the crunch

Fifty science questions in sixty minutes is a little over a minute each, and finishing English early buys you nothing: you close each section before the next one opens. Practice pacing inside a section, not across the exam.

Nobody can tell you how the Science section splits, including us

ATI publishes Science as 50 questions, 6 unscored, in 60 minutes, and publishes no item count for anatomy and physiology against biology, chemistry or scientific reasoning. Prep sites quote a split anyway; we will not quote one we cannot source. Prepare all four, and give anatomy and physiology daily repetition. Our own Science bank is 189 questions.

The math is arithmetic under pressure, not algebra you forgot

Numbers and algebra plus measurement and data, at 57 minutes for 38 questions. The failure mode is not conceptual; it is arithmetic slips on fraction-to-percent conversions and unit changes with the clock visible. Speed on a narrow set of operations is the whole game.

Reading is the largest section and the easiest to leave untrained

Forty-five questions in 55 minutes, and it is the section people assume needs no training. Vocabulary in context is pure points for anyone who drills it and a slow bleed for anyone who decides reading cannot be practiced.

The item types are not all multiple choice

ATI lists multiple choice, multiple select, fill in the blank, ordered response and hot spot. Multiple select is the one that hurts: no partial credit, and the habit of picking one best answer is hard to break. Our bank ships 83 multi-select and 44 numeric entry items.

A four-week study plan

Four weeks works for most applicants who are already comfortable with high school science. Weight the plan by section time and question count rather than by how much you enjoy each subject.

Week 1: Baseline all four sections.

Smart Quiz across Reading, Math, Science and English to find the real gap. Don’t decide your plan by feel: the data from one honest session will surprise you.

Week 2: Science, every day.

Anatomy and physiology first, then biology, chemistry and scientific reasoning. Science gets the most minutes of any section on the real exam, and it’s the most drillable content we ship.

Week 3: Math and English.

Timed math sets on conversions, ratios and data interpretation. English is a finite rule set you can close out in days, so treat it as cheap points rather than an afterthought.

Week 4: Simulate with the clock.

Run full timed simulations so the section boundaries and the 209-minute session aren’t new on the day, then retest the weakest category until readiness holds.

Throughout: One section under time, every single day.

Pacing is a separate skill from knowing the content, and it decays fast. A single timed section a day keeps it sharp without eating the evening.

Is the TEAS 7 hard?

The TEAS is not conceptually difficult, it is dense and strictly timed. There is no universal passing score, because programs set their own requirements, so difficulty is really a question of the margin your target program expects above the field, and that margin is the number you should be studying toward.

Our bank sits deliberately toward the harder end: 397 of the 648 questions are at difficulty 3 or 4. If you can hold accuracy at that level with a clock running, the real sections feel calmer, which is the point of practicing above the line rather than at it.

The other thing that makes it hard is that it is an admissions exam, so the consequence of a weak section is not a retake fee, it is a cycle. That pressure is worth naming, because it pushes people to study what they enjoy. The fix is boring: let one honest baseline session decide the plan, then follow it.

How the ATI TEAS 7 differs from the exams beside it

The TEAS is the only exam in our health family that is strictly sectioned and separately timed, which makes pacing a skill in its own right: you can’t bank spare minutes from an easy section. Against the HESI A2, which programs assemble from a menu of exams, the TEAS is one fixed four-part exam with published section timings, so you know exactly what you’re walking into. Against the NCLEX it’s academic rather than clinical, and it never asks you to prioritize between defensible actions. It’s also the only one here where the score you need is set by a school rather than by the awarding body.

Questions people actually ask about the ATI TEAS 7

How many questions are on the TEAS 7?

170 in total, of which 150 are scored and 20 are unscored pretest items. They’re split across Reading, Math, Science, and English and language usage, and you can’t tell scored items from pretest ones.

What score do I need on the TEAS?

Whatever your program requires. ATI doesn’t set one national cutoff, so the only number that matters is on your target program’s admissions page. Get it before you plan your study.

Is the TEAS 7 hard?

It is dense and strictly timed rather than conceptually difficult, and nothing on it sits beyond high school science. What catches applicants is the pace inside each separately timed section, and the fact that finishing one section early buys you nothing because unused time never carries forward.

How long should I study for the TEAS?

Four weeks of daily work is a realistic runway if you’re comfortable with high school science, and longer if anatomy and physiology is rusty. Judge readiness by section rather than by an overall percentage.

How long is the TEAS 7 exam?

209 minutes in total: Reading 55 minutes, Math 57, Science 60, and English and language usage 37. Each section is timed separately and unused time doesn’t carry over.

Which TEAS section is hardest?

Science is where most applicants lose ground: ATI publishes it as 50 questions in 60 minutes, a little over a minute each, and it publishes no breakdown of how those items divide between anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry and scientific reasoning. Because the split is unpublished, prepare for all four rather than betting on one.

Can I go back and change answers on the TEAS?

You can review and change answers within a content area while time remains and you haven’t advanced. Once you close a section you can’t return to it, so treat each section as final when you exit.

Are these real TEAS questions?

No. That would violate exam security rules. They’re original questions written to the same content areas, format and difficulty as the real exam, each with a full explanation.

The app

The ATI TEAS 7 app is still in development

The TEAS 7 ATI Practice Test app ships 648 questions across Reading, Math, Science, and English and language usage, weighted to match the exam’s own section sizes. Smart Quiz adapts to your weakest area, Topic Drill isolates one section, and the Exam Simulator runs a fixed-length 150-question timed paper so the clock is familiar before it counts. An on-screen calculator is available for the math, an AI tutor explains any question in plain English, and progress tracking reports readiness per section rather than as one number, which is the view that actually tells you where the next hour should go. The app isn’t on the App Store yet; it’s in development. When it ships it will be free to start, with Premium for unlimited practice and unlimited tutor explanations.

  • Smart Quiz — keeps returning to the categories you keep missing
  • Topic Drill — one category at a time, on its own
  • Exam Simulator — a fixed-length timed paper (150 questions in 209 minutes, as this app sets it). It does not get harder as you go; the length and the mix are fixed.
  • AI tutor — re-explains any question in plain English
  • Progress tracking, reported per category
  • On-screen calculator
  • Study reminders
  • Light and dark themes

The app calls you ready at 65% on its own simulator. That is an in-app practice target we chose, not ATI's passing standard.

Not on the App Store yet. This one is still in development, so there is nothing to download today. The practice questions above are the whole of what we can give you right now, and they are free and complete. See where it sits in the queue, or browse the apps that are live.

Four sections. One clock. One app.

Section-by-section drilling weighted the way the real exam is, full timed simulations across the whole 209-minute session, and an AI tutor for the anatomy and chemistry that are hardest to teach yourself. Readiness is reported per section, which is the only view that tells you where the next hour should go.
