How many attempts for TEAS?

You can attempt the TEAS exam a maximum of three times within a rolling 12-month period. This policy is set by the test’s administrator, Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI). A mandatory 30-day waiting period is required between each attempt.

There are two critical aspects to this policy. First, you must wait at least 30 days after your first attempt before you can schedule your second test, and another 30 days after the second before a third. Second, while ATI allows three attempts per year, individual nursing programs often enforce stricter rules. Many schools will only consider your score from the first or second attempt for admissions, regardless of the official three-test limit. It is essential to check the specific admissions requirements of every program to which you apply.
