What this practice test covers
This is a full-length ATI TEAS Version 7: the same four sections in the same order as the real exam, with the same number of questions and the same time limits.
| Section | This test | Real TEAS 7 |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | 45 questions · 55 min | 45 questions · 55 min |
| Math | 38 questions · 57 min | 38 questions · 57 min |
| Science | 50 questions · 60 min | 50 questions · 60 min |
| English and Language Usage | 37 questions · 37 min | 37 questions · 37 min |
| Total | 170 questions · 209 min | 170 questions · 209 min |
Questions in each section are split across ATI's sub-content areas in roughly the same proportions as the real test, so anatomy and physiology gets the biggest share of Science (21 of the 50 questions). You'll see the question formats ATI uses: four-option multiple choice, select-all-that-apply, fill-in-the-blank, and ordered response. We don't include hot-spot questions, which ask you to click part of an image.
One difference from test day: on the real TEAS, 20 of the 170 questions are unscored pretest items you can't pick out. Here, every question counts toward your results.
All questions are original, written to match the TEAS's style and difficulty. They are not real ATI questions.
Exam mode or practice mode?
Exam mode runs each section on its own timer and holds your results until the end, like the real thing. Block out about three and a half hours. The test waits on a start screen between sections, so take the real exam's optional 10-minute break after Math before you start Science.
Practice mode lets you check each answer as you go and read the explanation right away. Use it when you're drilling a weak area. Short on time? The quick drill pulls 10 random standalone questions.
As on the real TEAS, you can move around and flag questions within a section, but once you submit a section, you can't go back. A basic on-screen calculator appears in Math and Science. The real exam has a calculator built into every section and doesn't allow personal calculators; the Reading and English questions here don't need one.
How the real TEAS is scored
The real exam gives you an adjusted individual total score from 0 to 100%, content-area scores, sub-content-area scores, and an academic preparedness level (Developmental, Basic, Proficient, Advanced, or Exemplary). Total and section scores are equated across test forms, so there's no simple formula to convert a raw count into an official score — and we don't pretend otherwise.
This practice test reports your percent correct overall, by section, and by sub-content area. Use it to find weak spots, not to predict an exact score. And remember there's no universal passing score: your school sets its own cutoff.
What to do after you finish
- Sort your misses by sub-content area. A weak spot in Human Anatomy and Physiology costs more than one in Craft and Structure, because A&P has twice as many scored questions on the real exam (18 vs. 9).
- Read every explanation, including for questions you got right by guessing.
- Study before you retest. Drill your weak areas in practice mode and review the content behind them. Retaking the same test right away mostly measures your memory of the answers.
- Check your readiness with ATI's own tests. ATI offers a free online practice test (its prep guidance explains how to access it) and paid practice tests, Practice Tests A and B, on its TEAS prep page.

Route 7 — Weekday Morning Departures
| Stop | Bus A | Bus B | Bus C (Express) | Bus D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maple Ave. Station | 6:40 | 7:10 | 7:40 | 8:10 |
| Central Library | 6:52 | 7:22 | — | 8:22 |
| Harbor St. | 7:01 | 7:31 | — | 8:31 |
| City Hospital | 7:15 | 7:45 | 8:05 | 8:45 |
A nursing student boards at Maple Ave. Station and must reach City Hospital by 8:10 a.m. What is the latest departure from Maple Ave. Station that gets her there on time?
- A. 7:10 a.m.
- B. 7:40 a.m.
- C. 8:10 a.m.
- D. 6:40 a.m.
Show answerHide answer
Bus C, the express, leaves Maple Ave. at 7:40 and reaches City Hospital at 8:05 — before 8:10. Bus D leaves at 8:10 but doesn't arrive until 8:45.
The 7:10 bus (Bus B) also gets her there on time, arriving at 7:45, but the question asks for the latest departure that works. Reading "on time" without "latest" is the trap.
A scrub top regularly priced at $32.00 is on sale for 25% off. A 6% sales tax is then applied to the sale price. What is the total cost of the scrub top, in dollars? Round to the nearest cent.
Show answerHide answer
Sale price: $32.00 × (1 − 0.25) = $32.00 × 0.75 = $24.00. With tax: $24.00 × 1.06 = $25.44.
The common mistake is combining the percents (25% off, 6% on = 19% off), which gives $32.00 × 0.81 = $25.92. The tax applies to the sale price, so the steps have to happen in order.
Blood returning from the body enters the heart through the venae cavae. Put the structures below in the order that blood passes through them, from first to last. Choose one position for each structure; use each position once.
| Statement | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Left ventricle | ○ | ○ | ○ | ○ |
| Right atrium | ○ | ○ | ○ | ○ |
| Pulmonary veins | ○ | ○ | ○ | ○ |
| Right ventricle | ○ | ○ | ○ | ○ |
Show answerHide answer
Right atrium → 1st
Pulmonary veins → 3rd
Right ventricle → 2nd
Deoxygenated blood from the venae cavae enters the right atrium (1st), passes the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle (2nd), and is pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Oxygenated blood returns through the pulmonary veins (3rd) to the left atrium, then moves into the left ventricle (4th), which pumps it into the aorta.
The usual slip is putting the pulmonary veins before the right ventricle. Remember: the right side of the heart must pump blood to the lungs before the pulmonary veins can carry it back.
How does a solution with a pH of 3 compare with a solution with a pH of 5?
- A. It is 2 times more acidic.
- B. It is 20 times more acidic.
- C. It is 100 times more acidic.
- D. It is 100 times more basic.
Show answerHide answer
The pH scale is logarithmic: each step down of 1 means a tenfold higher hydrogen ion concentration. Going from pH 5 to pH 3 is two steps, so 10 × 10 = 100 times more acidic.
"2 times" treats the scale as linear. "100 times more basic" gets the direction backward — lower pH is more acidic.
Which revision corrects the error in the sentence below?
Rushing to finish the report, the coffee spilled across the desk.
- A. Rushing to finish the report, the coffee was spilled across the desk.
- B. The coffee spilled across the desk, rushing to finish the report.
- C. Rushing to finish the report, Mateo spilled coffee across the desk.
- D. Rushing to finish, the report was done, and coffee spilled across the desk.
Show answerHide answer
The opening phrase "Rushing to finish the report" must describe the noun that comes right after it. Coffee can't rush, so the modifier dangles. Naming the person — Mateo — right after the phrase fixes it.
Making the verb passive ("was spilled") still leaves the coffee doing the rushing. Moving the phrase to the end still attaches it to the coffee. The last choice has the report doing the rushing.

ReadFrequently asked questions
Is this the same as the official ATI TEAS practice test?
No. These are original questions written to match the TEAS format and difficulty. ATI sells official practice tests and offers a free one on its site — use both.
Is this practice test as long as the real TEAS?
Yes: 170 questions in 209 minutes, with the real section order, question counts, and time limits. The only difference is scoring. Every question here counts, while 20 questions on the real exam are unscored pretest items.
What score should I aim for on a TEAS practice test?
Aim well above your target program's cutoff to give yourself a cushion. Practice-test percentages aren't official TEAS scores, so treat them as a guide to what to study, not a prediction.
Does the practice test have a calculator?
The Math and Science sections include a basic on-screen calculator. On the real TEAS, a calculator is built into the exam and available in every section, and personal calculators aren't allowed.
Can I take it in more than one sitting?
Yes. Exit mid-test and your progress is saved on this device; the timer picks up where you left off. For a true test-day rehearsal, though, take it in one sitting with only the 10-minute break after Math.
