TEAS
About the TEAS
The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) is used as part of the admissions process by nursing schools nationwide. Our test center accepts students who are applying to any nursing program, including SJSU.
You MUST first register for an account on the ATI website and obtain an ATI Paper/Pencil ID before you register for the test. Our center ONLY administers the paper-based version of the TEAS. Calculators are provided.
SJSU currently offers the TEAS 7.
The TEAS VII consists of 170 questions across 4 content areas: Reading (64 minutes), Mathematics (54 minutes), Science (63 minutes), and English (28 minutes), for a total of 3 hours and 29 minutes. Total test time is 4.5 hours.
Candidates will be assigned randomly to start at 8 am or 1:30 pm. You will receive your reporting time, room assignment, and instructions via e-mail about 3-5 days prior to the test. Please plan accordingly.
