Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a calculator?
The TEAS exam provides a built-in on-screen calculator. No other calculators are allowed.
Will there be a score report at the end of the exam?
You will see your test scores at the end of your exam. To review your Individual Performance Profile (your score and topics to review/improve) log in to your ATI account. If you are taking the In-Person TEAS, you will receive a printed copy.
I am applying for ASU’s Nursing Program. Do I need to send the scores to someone?
No, at the end of the testing day, our staff will send the scores to the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation.
Do I have to complete the TEAS dry-run process?
The dry-run portion is required if you registered to take TEAS remotely. The setup process ensures your equipment is prepared to run smoothly on test day and prevents the need to reschedule your appointment.
We ask that you reserve 30 minutes to complete the setup process on the computer you plan to use for the exam and to complete this step at least 2 business days before your exam.
What type of test material will be included in the dry-run set up?
The questions are generic. You will receive an email with detailed instructions to prepare and confirm your computer is ready to launch the exam after you register.
Is the dry-run graded?
The dry run is not graded. It is referred to as an assessment within the ATI system.
What if I don’t complete the dry-run?
If you are unable to complete the dry run, we recommend you reschedule as you will not be able to test.
For issues or questions, contact us at [email protected] or 480-965-7146.
Registration and rescheduling fees are non-refundable
