How do I register for the TEAS Exam?

If you need to take the ATI TEAS exam, follow this guide to ensure a smooth registration process.

1. Check Your School’s TEAS Registration and Testing Policy

The first thing you should do is check with the school(s) you’re applying to. Schools have different policies for TEAS exam registration and testing, so it’s important to understand what your specific school requires.

• Some schools handle registration and payment directly through their own website.
• Others require you to register through the official ATI (Assessment Technologies Institute) website at www.atitesting.com.

Each institution establishes its own guidelines regarding the exam, which may include the number of attempts allowed, the waiting period required between attempts, and the minimum score needed on the TEAS for application eligibility.

2. Requirements to take the TEAS Exam

• You’ll need an ATI account to take the exam, get your score and send official results, so be sure to set up a username and password through www.atitesting.com.
• You’ll also need a valid, government-issued photo ID.  Photocopies or photos of your ID on your phone do not count!  Make sure the first and last name used to register for the TEAS Exam matches your first and last name on your photo ID.  Here is a list of valid ID’s.
• Remote exams require specific computer system requirements in order to load and take the TEAS Exam.  Please review these system requirements for all remote exams
