Once a test taker begins a subject area, the timer will start. When the timer expires, the test taker may stretch, go to the bathroom, or otherwise relax before the timer begins for the next section. The ATI TEAS is offered in both a pencil-and-paper version and a computerized version, depending on the preference of the local test administrator. ATI TEAS test takers are not permitted to use cell phones, but four-function calculators are permitted now on the ATI TEAS. Scoring Shortly after the examination, test takers will receive several different numbered scores with their ATI TEAS results, including scores on all the various sections and subsections. This includes the national and state-level percentile rankings that a test taker has achieved. This rank is equal to the percentage of test takers from nationwide samples that scored equal to or lower than the test taker. Higher percentiles indicate more correct answers and fewer people who scored higher than the given test taker. However, although this may be of interest to the test taker, schools do not use this score to base acceptance decisions on. Instead, schools typically look at the Composite Individual Total Score. The composite score is a good determination of the performance of the test taker and is calculated by averaging the test taker's performance from each section of the test. The national average composite score generally lies between 65% 18 correct and 75% correct, and many schools have a minimum required score in this range, but each school and program chooses their own minimum standards; more prestigious schools require higher minimum scores and vice versa. Besides meeting minimum requirements, TEAS scores can play a part in the acceptance process as one of the factors like previous GPAs and extracurricular activities that demonstrate the competitiveness of the applicant, but this too varies from school to school. Recent Developments ATI TEAS is the sixth version of the TEAS, and is offered starting August 31, 2016. Before August 31, 2016, the fifth version of the TEAS (known as the TEAS V) was the current version of the TEAS. The ATI TEAS is similar in difficulty, but with slight differences in the amount of emphasis placed on various subjects, such as the reduction of the English & Language Usage section and the elimination of the Earth Science
