INTRODUCTION
The ATI TEAS® (Test of Essential Academic Skills) is a standardized academic-readiness
assessment developed and administered by Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI). It is
designed primarily for applicants to nursing and other health-science programs and measures
foundational skills in Reading, Mathematics, Science, and English and Language Usage. ATI
currently identifies the exam as TEAS Version 7. (Main)
The examination is intended for prospective students entering health-science education
programs. Individual colleges and programs establish their own admission requirements,
including whether the TEAS is required and what minimum scores are expected. Strong
performance can therefore be relevant to admission decisions, although the significance of a
particular score depends on the institution and program.
The current ATI TEAS consists of 170 questions, including 150 scored questions and 20
unscored pretest questions. The total testing time is 209 minutes, divided into four separately
timed sections: Reading (55 minutes), Mathematics (57 minutes), Science (60 minutes), and
English and Language Usage (37 minutes). A 10-minute break is available after Mathematics.

The practice set below contains 200 original practice questions designed around the current
ATI TEAS Version 7 content domains. They are not copied from or represented as secure ATI
examination questions. ATI's current blueprint identifies Reading, Mathematics, Science, and
English and Language Usage as the four tested areas. (Main)

QUESTIONS 1-200
READING
Q1: A hospital education department compares two methods of teaching patients how to
use an inhaler. Group A watches a five-minute demonstration, while Group B watches the
same demonstration and then performs a return demonstration observed by a nurse. One
week later, Group B has fewer medication-administration errors. Which conclusion is best
supported by the evidence?
,A) Demonstrations are ineffective for teaching inhaler use.
B) Adding an observed return demonstration may improve retention of inhaler technique.
C) Patients in Group A were unwilling to learn the technique.
D) All patients should receive one-on-one education.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The evidence directly compares demonstration alone with demonstration plus return
demonstration and shows fewer errors in Group B. A is too broad, C assumes an unsupported
cause, and D extends the findings beyond what was tested.
Q2: A passage explains that regular sleep improves attention, memory consolidation, and
emotional regulation. It then describes a study in which students who slept seven to eight
hours performed better on a memory task than students who slept fewer than five hours.
What is the primary purpose of the passage?
A) To argue that students should eliminate evening activities
B) To explain how adequate sleep can support cognitive functioning
C) To prove that eight hours of sleep guarantees academic success
D) To compare two unrelated approaches to studying
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The passage connects sleep with several cognitive processes and provides study
evidence supporting that relationship. A and C make claims not established by the passage,
while D mischaracterizes the topic.
Q3: A community newsletter states, “Because the town installed additional recycling bins,
the amount of recyclable material collected increased by 30%.” Which additional evidence
would most strengthen the conclusion that the bins caused the increase?
A) Residents reported that recycling was important to them.
B) The recycling bins were painted green.
C) Collection increased primarily in locations where the new bins were installed, while
comparable locations without new bins showed little change.
D) The town council discussed recycling at several meetings.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A comparison between locations with and without the intervention provides stronger
causal evidence. A, B, and D may be relevant background information but do not establish that
the bins caused the increase.
Q4: In the sentence, “The researcher was meticulous, checking every measurement twice
before recording it,” what does “meticulous” most nearly mean?
A) Impulsive
B) Exhausted
C) Extremely careful
D) Uncertain
, Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The context—checking every measurement twice—indicates exceptional care and
attention to detail. The other choices contradict the behavior described.
Q5: A passage first describes rising rates of childhood obesity, then identifies reduced
physical activity as one contributing factor, and finally proposes increasing opportunities
for exercise at school. What organizational pattern is primarily used?
A) Chronological sequence
B) Problem, contributing factor, and proposed solution
C) Compare and contrast
D) Classification
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The author establishes a problem, discusses a factor associated with it, and proposes
an intervention. No meaningful comparison or classification is presented.
Q6: A student reads two articles about vaccination. Article 1 presents clinical-trial evidence
supporting vaccine effectiveness. Article 2 discusses parental concerns but provides mostly
personal anecdotes. Which statement best evaluates the evidence?
A) Article 2 is more reliable because personal experiences are always more accurate.
B) Both articles have identical evidentiary strength.
C) Article 1 provides more direct empirical evidence for evaluating effectiveness.
D) Neither article can provide useful information.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Clinical-trial data are directly designed to evaluate effectiveness, whereas anecdotes
can illustrate experiences but do not establish population-level effectiveness. A and B ignore
differences in evidence quality, while D is unnecessarily absolute.
Q7: A paragraph explains that antibiotics target bacteria but do not treat viral infections.
It gives examples of bacterial and viral illnesses. Which sentence would best serve as the
paragraph's concluding sentence?
A) Viruses are found in many environments.
B) Some bacteria are beneficial to humans.
C) Therefore, identifying whether an infection is bacterial or viral is important when
determining appropriate treatment.
D) Antibiotics were developed during the twentieth century.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: C synthesizes the paragraph's central distinction and explains its practical
significance. The other options introduce information that does not logically conclude the
paragraph.
Q8: A textbook states, “Although the initial results appeared promising, the researchers
cautioned that the sample size was too small to support a definitive conclusion.” What does
the phrase “although” signal?
