Where do I take the TEAS test?

The TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) exam, administered by ATI, assesses readiness for nursing and allied health programs. You can take it in several flexible formats, but first, contact your target school to confirm requirements, deadlines, and score validity.

Key Options on Teas test:

  1. Online (Remote-Proctored by ATI): Take it at home or a quiet space using your computer. Register via ATI site, complete a dry run for tech check, and start 30 minutes early. Costs ~$70–$115; scores sent directly to schools.
  2. Online (Proctored by an Institution): Similar to above, but supervised by your school’s proctor. Get an Assessment ID from the institution first, then log in to the site. Ideal for programs like SUNY Suffolk’s remote option register selecting their campus.
  3. In-Person at Your Institution: On-campus testing centers . Arrive 15 minutes early with photo ID; bring pencils for paper versions. Register through the school or ATI’s in-person portal. Proctor fee may apply (~$15 at CT State).
  4. In-Person at PSI Centers: Nationwide testing sites for broader access. Search availability on ATI site; follow center rules.
