TEAS Test Preparation
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND preparing for this exam BEFORE taking it. ATI recommends at least 6 weeks of preparation prior to taking the TEAS. It is also recommended that students fully complete or have almost completed Human Anatomy & Physiology I prior to taking the ATI-TEAS exam. It coud help improve scores.

TEAS Test Type Accepted
We will only accept the ATI-Teas Nursing exam, no allied Health TEAS scores will be considered. Please confirm this with your testing site BEFORE you take the test.
TEAS Test Attempts
Students are highly encouraged to take advantage of the two test attempt rule. We will accept the first two attempts of the ATI TEAS Exam within the application date range above for each admission cycle. These two attempts MUST be a minimum of 30 days apart. 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 an institutional testing center. Please plan accordingly to take advantage of both attempts before the application deadline (Priority_Current TXST, General_Current TXST, General_NON-Current.)
Uploading TEAS Attempts to Application
Applicants will be required to upload a PDF version of both sets of scores, which includes the overall score, test type, test date, institution test was taken & applicant's full name into the NursingCAS BSN application. Failure to upload both attempts with this information, if taken twice, may result in a denial of application. 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.
