ATI TEAS in-person at an Institution or Testing Center Quick Tips:

Your institution will communicate whether your in-person TEAS exam will be online via a computer in the testing center or paper-pencil.
If you are taking the online version, a four-function drop-down calculator is built into the exam (multiplication, addition, subtraction, and division). If you are taking the paper-pencil version of the TEAS, a four-function calculator will be provided to you by the proctor.
Plan to arrive at the testing center at least 15 minutes prior to the exam start time. Students arriving after the exam start time will not be allowed to take the TEAS exam.
Plan on 4 hours maximum to complete your TEAS exam.
TEAS exams cannot be rescheduled or reimbursed. If you have an emergency, please follow these rescheduling rules/instructions.

TEAS TEST DAY: What to bring to your TEAS Exam

Photo ID: To be admitted to your testing session, you must present government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license, passport, or green card.
