Step 1. TEAS Pre-appointment (dry-run)

ATI-TEAS Remote Proctoring requires two appointments. Step 1, the pre-appointment known as the dry-run will need to be completed 24-48 hours prior to your exam appointment. The dry-run portion is required to ensure your equipment is prepared to run smoothly on test day. By preparing and managing issues before,  the dry-run will help reduce log-in stress on the day of your exam and allow you to focus on the TEAS exam. This step does not include nursing related questions and will only take a fraction of the time to complete. We ask that you reserve 30-minutes to complete the dry-run on the computer you plan to use for the exam. 

Tablets, iPads and smartphones are not approved devices. The computer must have a webcam, microphone and high-speed internet connection. On both days ensure you have your ATI account username and password available along with your valid state issued ID or ASU Sun Card ID.

Step 2. TEAS appointment

Log-in to the ATI site at the time of your appointment from the computer that was set-up during the pre-appointment. Ensure you have your ATI account username and password available along with your valid state issued ID or ASU Sun Card ID.  You must be in a quiet uninterrupted location, free from any resources that may help you on the exam.  Follow the screen prompts to log in and begin the TEAS exam.

Admission to the Exam

Exam entrance requires a valid photo ID. You must also know or have with you your 10-digit ASU affiliate ID number (does not apply to non-ASU candidates), your ATI account user ID and password in order to take the test.
