All About TEAS

If you’re considering enrolling at Sumner College (or other nursing schools!) you will be required to take the TEAS Exam. This stands for Test of Essential Academic Skills, and is nothing to be scared of! There are many different study materials and tips to help you through the exam. Many helpful tips, along with practice exams, can be found at atitesting.com, but for now, here are the top 3 prep tips!

1. ATI recommends taking at least 6 weeks to prepare before the test, give yourself ample time to study, and study using what methods work best for you! See our last post HERE to help with study methods.
2. Be familiar with subject matter in each section, including the most missed questions in each topic such as: Identifying the topic, main idea, and supporting ideas in the Reading segment, or describing chemical bonds in the Science segment.
3. Read and perform practice questions and exams in order to get an idea of how the tests are written, ATI hosted a live online event with writers of the exams that you can watch the recording of HERE.

Good luck! And as always, feel free to reach out with questions or comments.
