Costs and Payment Options
The cost of the ATI TEAS exam depends on where and how you take it. ATI currently lists TEAS at ATI and TEAS at PSI exams at $120. Exams taken through a school or testing center may vary in price. Because fees can change, check ATI or your testing location before registering.
Registration/Times/Locations
You can register for the ATI TEAS through ATI or through the school or testing center where you plan to test. Before registering, check your nursing or allied health program’s requirements so you know which testing option, deadline, and score-reporting process you need to follow.
Key point: schools may have their own TEAS rules for registration, accepted testing format, deadlines, retake limits, and minimum score requirements.
Test Day
On test day, follow the instructions provided by ATI, PSI, your school, or your testing center. Requirements may vary depending on whether you test online, at a PSI testing center, or through an institution.
Test Scores
ATI TEAS scores are reported as percentages. Your score report may include an overall score, content area scores, and information about topics to review.
There is no universal passing score for the ATI TEAS. Each school sets its own score requirement, so check the admissions requirements for the program you plan to apply to.
