It is recommended that students fully complete or have almost completed Human Anatomy & Physiology I prior to taking the ATI-TEAS exam. It could help improve scores.

  • ATI-TEAS tests can be proctored online through the ATI-TEAS Website or taken in person and proctored by an institutional testing center. Testing options are listed below. ATI TEAS test transcripts are not required to be sent to Texas State University, but students can choose this option to ensure we receive a copy. 
  • If you take the Nursing TEAS a second time, both tests must be within the date range of the application period for which you are applying for each proceeding fall admission.  
  • Students are expected to download and save a PDF copy of their TEAS Score Performance Profile that is required as an attachment on the BSN application. 
  • Applicants will be required to upload a PDF of both Performance Profile results in the NursingCAS as they are completing the BSN application. 

TEAS Test Type Accepted 

We will only be accepting the  ATI-Teas Nursing exam, no allied Health TEAS scores will be considered.   Please confirm this with your testing site BEFORE you take the TEAS.  The minimum required scores remain the same. 

TEAS test attempts

We will accept the first two attempts of the ATI TEAS Exam.   These two attempts MUST be a minimum of 30 days apart and within the required date ranges for each year's admission cycle. (see date ranges above)  Students may take the retake (second attempt) in any format, despite the format of the first attempt.  It can be taken as a proctored online exam or in person at a testing center.  

Waiting Period Between TEAS Attempts

Students are highly encouraged to take advantage of the two test attempt rule.  Students will be required to wait at least 30 days between the two attempts on the Nursing-TEAS exam.  Please plan accordingly to take advantage of both attempts before the application deadline (Priority or General).   Both test attempts can be taken in any format, either proctored online or at a PSI National Testing Center. 

Minimum Required TEAS Test Scores

The BSN Application requires the submission of at least one set of ATI TEAS Test Scores. See minimum scores accepted above for Priority and General Admission. 

Uploading TEAS attempts to application

If you take the Nursing TEAS a second time, both tests must be within the date range of the application period for which you are applying. Applicants will be required to  upload a PDF of both Performance Profile results to NursingCAS during the application process. Failure to upload both attempts, if taken twice, may result in a delay in processing, or denial of application.
