TEAS Entrance Examination

The Test of Essential Academic Skills test (TEAS) is a pre-entry test used to evaluate the academic preparedness of students entering the vocational nursing program. The TEAS consists of a total of 170 questions in four subtext areas: Math, Science, English, and Reading.

Test scores will be available immediately following the test.

Applicants who fail to establish the minimum cut-off score in each area will be required to retake the entire exam. There must be a minimum of one month between test dates. Each test is considered a combined complete entity. There will be NO combination of scores from separate tests. TEAS exam results are valid for one (1) year.

The TEAS test may be repeated only one time with the best composite score used for admission.
