ATI TEAS 2026 Complete Exam
Study Guide | Reading, Science,
Math and English
Section 1: Reading
The Reading section assesses comprehension and analysis of written passages. It is
divided into three key areas :
Key Ideas and Details (15 questions)
Central Idea and Theme: Identifying the main point or message of a passage.
Supporting Details: Locating facts and evidence that support the main idea.
Summarizing: Condensing a text into a concise statement of its main points.
Drawing Conclusions and Making Inferences: Reading "between the lines" to
understand implied meanings and logical conclusions.
Craft and Structure (9 questions)
Author's Purpose and Point of View: Determining why the author wrote the text and
their perspective.
Text Structure: Recognizing how a text is organized (e.g., cause and effect, problem
and solution, chronological order).
Word Meaning: Using context clues to define unfamiliar words or understand the
meaning of words in context.
, Fact vs. Opinion: Distinguishing between statements that can be proven and
statements that are based on belief or feeling.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas (15 questions)
Comparing and Contrasting: Identifying similarities and differences between multiple
texts or ideas.
Evaluating Arguments: Assessing the strength of an argument and identifying
persuasive techniques (e.g., ethos, pathos, logos).
Using Text Features: Understanding how charts, graphs, maps, and other visual
elements contribute to the meaning of a text.
Section 2: Math (38 scored questions, 57 minutes)
This section emphasizes practical application of mathematical concepts. A pop-up
calculator is available on the computer-based test . The content is broken into two
main areas :
Numbers and Algebra (18 questions)
Ratios and Proportions: Solving for unknown quantities in proportional relationships, a
foundational skill for many healthcare calculations.
Basic Algebra: Solving linear equations and inequalities, and interpreting word
problems into algebraic expressions.
Number Concepts: Understanding and performing operations with decimals, fractions,
percentages, and integers. This includes converting between these forms.
Estimation and Rounding: Applying these skills to practical problems.
Measurement and Data (16 questions)
Units of Measurement: Converting between standard and metric units (e.g., pounds to
kilograms, inches to centimeters).
Data Interpretation: Reading and analyzing information from tables, charts, and
graphs.
Basic Statistics: Calculating mean (average), median, mode, and range.
