ATI TEAS® SmartPrep is a self-paced online tutorial that builds a study plan around what you already know. Each of the four content areas — reading, math, science, and English and language usage — is its own module with a pretest, lessons, quizzes, and a posttest. Your access lasts 90 days.
Where to find it: sign in at www.atitesting.com/login, click MY ATI, then the Learn tab, and click Modules on the ATI TEAS SmartPrep card.

How a SmartPrep module works
- Pretest. Each module starts with a pretest of your current knowledge. You can take it only once, and you must finish it before the lessons unlock. Afterward you see your score, how many you got right and wrong, and every question with its rationale — and it stays available for review.
- Personalized study plan. Based on the pretest questions you missed, SmartPrep builds a plan of the lessons you need most, so you spend time on weak areas instead of content you already know.
- Lessons and quizzes. Work through the lessons in your plan (SmartPrep has 65 in total, each tied to a skill tested on the TEAS). Every lesson ends with a five-question quiz.
- Posttest. When you finish all the lessons and quizzes in your plan, the module’s posttest unlocks. If you miss any posttest questions, SmartPrep builds a second personalized study plan (with new quiz questions for lessons you’ve already seen) and then gives you a second attempt at the same posttest.
Two study plan modes
- Personalized Study Plan (PSP) — only the lessons your pretest shows you need. Best when your time is limited.
- Full Study Plan (FSP) — every lesson in the module. Best for a complete review before exam day.
You can switch between the two at any time — useful when a lesson in your plan builds on a related lesson that wasn’t included.
What’s inside each lesson
- Key concept videos — most lessons include two short videos on the lesson’s main ideas.
- Images — visuals embedded where they help explain the material.
- Glossary — key terms are highlighted in the lesson and collected in the module glossary.
- Bookmarks — save your place or flag something to come back to.
- Toolbar — click any text to take notes, highlight, or open linked resources.
Reading your quiz results
After each five-question quiz you can review the rationales or jump back to the part of the lesson the question covered. Your result is color-coded on the plan:
- Green — every question on that content answered correctly
- Orange — about half correct
- Red — all incorrect
Each quiz can be taken once and stays available for review.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to take the pretest first?
Yes. The lessons and your personalized study plan unlock only after you complete the module’s pretest.
Can I log out in the middle of a test or lesson?
Yes. Log out any time and you’ll pick up where you left off when you return. If you simply close the window, your session times out after a period of inactivity, but your progress is saved.
How many times can I take the pretest and posttest?
The pretest once. The posttest twice: if you don’t score 100% on the first attempt, you complete a second personalized study plan and then retake the same posttest.
I finished my plan but the posttest isn’t available.
Every lesson and every quiz in your current plan must be complete. Check the plan for anything not marked finished.
How long do I have SmartPrep?
90 days from the day you activate it. After that you can add 30 more days. How to renew SmartPrep
