TEAS Reading Exam Details

ATI TEAS 7 Reading Section

Administered by Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI)

Official Source
There is no universal cutoff; each nursing or allied-health program sets its own minimum. ATI's TEAS 7 score report labels total scores of 58.7% to 79.3% Proficient and 80.0% to 91.3% Advanced, and ATI says most schools will likely want applicants at Proficient or above. Some programs also set a separate Reading score minimum.

The full ATI TEAS costs $120 plus applicable sales tax when registered as TEAS at ATI (remote) or TEAS at PSI; prices for exams proctored by a school or testing center are set by that location. The Reading section is one of four sections within that single exam fee and is not sold separately.
Exam Fee
Study time: ATI recommends at least 6 weeks of preparation before the full TEAS; for the Reading section alone, 2-4 weeks of focused comprehension and graphic-interpretation practice is typical.
