What the Course Entails and Exam Details

Preparing for the ATI TEAS Math section requires a solid understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts across two primary domains: Number & Algebra, and Measurement & Data. Utilizing a focused practice test of 34 questions is an excellent way to simulate the scored portion of the actual exam and test your knowledge.

The core topics you will need to master include:

Number & Algebra

• Performing operations with fractions, decimals, and percentages.
• Solving word problems involving ratios, proportions, and rates of change.
• Solving one-variable algebraic equations and inequalities.
• Translating word problems into mathematical expressions or equations.

Measurement & Data

• Converting between metric and imperial systems of measurement (e.g., grams to ounces, liters to gallons).
• Interpreting data presented in tables, charts, and graphs (bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts).
• Calculating the area, perimeter, and volume of basic geometric shapes (rectangles, triangles, circles, cylinders).
• Understanding basic statistical concepts such as mean, median, mode, and range.

What to Expect in the Final Exam

When you arrive to take the actual ATI TEAS Version 7 exam, you must be prepared for a timed, proctored experience. The final Mathematics section is comprised of 34 scored questions.

The allotted time limit for this section is precisely 57 minutes, allowing for approximately 1.6 minutes per question. In addition to the scored questions, you may also encounter several unscored pretest items, which are used for validating future exam content and will not count toward your final score.

The current exam format (Version 7) predominantly features multiple-choice questions but also introduces "alternate item-type" questions. These can include:

• Multiple Select: Choosing all applicable correct answers from a list.
• Supply an Answer: Typing a numerical answer directly.
• Hot Spot: Clicking on a specific area of an image or graph.
• Ordered Response: Dragging and dropping items into the correct sequence.

Passing score requirements are not standardized by ATI; rather, they are set individually by each nursing or allied health program. You should consult your desired school's admissions office for their specific benchmark.

 How to Study and Exam Centers

Effective Study Strategies

To maximize your performance, dedicate time to focused preparation. First, take our 34-question ATI TEAS Math practice test to establish a baseline score and identify specific areas of weakness.

Analyze your results and create a targeted study plan that addresses your knowledge gaps. For example, if you struggle with metric conversions, devote extra time to memorizing key factors and solving relevant practice problems.

Leverage the official ATI TEAS Study Manual and reputable online prep resources. Review fundamental math principles, drill geometry formulas, and practice converting numbers between different forms (fractions, decimals, percentages) until it becomes second nature. Practice under timed conditions to simulate the pressure of exam day.

How and Where to Take the Exam

There are three primary options for taking the proctored ATI TEAS exam:

Online at Your Institution: Many schools administer the TEAS directly to their applicants, either on-campus or via live remote proctoring.

Online at ATI: You can take a remote-proctored exam at home through ATI’s own online portal.

In-Person at PSI: You can schedule to take the exam at a physical PSI Testing Center, which are located throughout the country.

Always check with the specific academic programs you are applying to for their preferred location and scheduling deadlines.
