ATI TEAS 7 Pass Rate, Format & Study Guide

A real reference for anyone preparing for the ATI TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills), Version 7 — Assessment Technologies Institute exam — pass rate, retake policy, how it's scored, and a practical study timeline. This is independent reference content, not a sales page: everything below is sourced from ATI TEAS 7's own certifying body.

What the ATI TEAS 7 exam is

The ATI TEAS 7 has 170 questions, 150 scored and 20 unscored pretest items, in about 209 minutes across four sections: reading, mathematics, science, and English and language usage (ATI TEAS exam details). Besides standard multiple choice, the test uses multiple-select, fill-in-the-blank, ordered-response and hot-spot items, and reports percent-correct scores for the total and each content area. This portal's mock exam uses the 150 scored questions in 185 minutes and four-option multiple-choice items only; ATI publishes no pass mark, so use your percentage as a self-check against your program's requirement.

Why it matters

Many nursing and allied-health programs use TEAS scores to decide admission, so a strong score can decide your seat.

Who this exam is for

Applicants to nursing and allied-health programs who must take the ATI TEAS 7.

Pass rate

The certifying body does not publicly publish an official pass rate for this exam. Be wary of third-party sites citing a specific number here — treat any pass-rate claim you see elsewhere for this exam as unverified.

If you don't pass — retake policy

Retake limits and waiting periods are set by each program and by ATI; check them before you schedule another attempt.

How it's scored

ATI does not set a passing score; each nursing or health-science program decides the TEAS score it accepts. The portal shows 70 percent only as a self-check. Format: 170 questions in about 209 minutes; this portal's mock uses 150 scored-question equivalents. No official pass rate is available for this exam, so none is quoted here.
