You will know if you passed the TEAS test by reviewing your official score report, which is typically available immediately after completing the exam if you take it in person or through an online proctored session. The report displays your adjusted percent correct score for each of the four sections—Reading, Mathematics, Science, and English and Language Usage—as well as your total score.
However, it is important to understand that ATI, the test maker, does not define a universal “passing” score. Instead, each nursing or allied health program sets its own minimum score requirement for admission. A score that is sufficient for one school may be below the threshold for another.
To determine if you passed:
- Check your score report—available right after testing or through your ATI online account within 48 hours.
- Compare your total and section scores to the admission requirements of your target program. Most schools publish their minimum TEAS score on their website or in their admissions materials.
- Look for proficiency level indicators—ATI categorizes scores as Basic (41–53%), Proficient (54–70%), Advanced (71–89%), or Exemplary (90–100%). Many competitive nursing programs require at least a Proficient score, with some demanding Advanced or higher.
Some institutions may also notify you directly during the admissions review process if your TEAS score meets their criteria.
In summary, you “pass” the TEAS when your score meets or exceeds the requirement set by the specific program to which you are applying. Always confirm the benchmark with your school before test day to set an appropriate target.
