Dry Run Instructions for TEAS Online at Institution Exams:

ATI is partnering with Proctorio to virtually proctor assessments. Proctorio is a remote proctoring platform that uses machine learning to proctor students from wherever they may be. Proctorio offers a variety of secure exam settings including video, audio, and screen recording designed to maintain the integrity of the assessment and ensure uncompromised exam results.

Follow the steps below to access and take the ATI TEAS Remote Proctored Assessment Dry Run – a mock TEAS exam. Following these steps will help you identify any potential system issues prior to your test and give you a better idea of what to expect on your TEAS exam day.

ATI does not consider technical issues on the tester’s computer or Internet to be a valid reason for a refund or free reschedule exception. Please make sure all technical requirements are met before the start time of the assessment and use the Dry-Run assessment to test your system.

On your actual exam day, you will walk through this checklist again prior to the exam. You must start your exam at the stated start time. We recommend you start this process 30 minutes prior to the start of your TEAS exam. If you do not start the exam within 30 minutes of the official start time, you will not be able to test. Exams will not be refunded or rescheduled due to late arrival.

Ensure that your internet speed is at least 0.5 – 1 Mbps. You can test your internet speed using speedtest.net.
