TEAS score calculator

Enter your ATI TEAS total score. You'll see your level on ATI's TEAS 7 scale, how far you are from the next level, and how you compare with the minimums at 8 nursing programs. ATI sets no passing score: each school sets its own.

Check your score

Add section scores or your program's minimum (optional)

Type a score from 0 to 100 to see your level.

This is an estimate based on ATI's published TEAS 7 cut scores. It is not an official ATI result and does not predict a test-day score. Your score report and your program's rules are what count.

Is my TEAS score good? Quick answers

  • Is 70 a good TEAS score?

    It depends on the program. A 70% total is Proficient on ATI's TEAS 7 scale (58.7% to 79.3%), 10.0 points below Advanced. It meets the total score asked for at 4 of the 7 programs in our table that set one, but not at CSU San Marcos (71%), University of Arizona (75%) and Valencia College (78%).

  • Is 75 a good TEAS score?

    For most programs we checked, yes. A 75% total is Proficient on ATI's TEAS 7 scale (58.7% to 79.3%), 5.0 points below Advanced. It meets the total score asked for at 6 of the 7 programs in our table that set one, but not at Valencia College (78%).

  • Is 78 a good TEAS score?

    Yes, it clears every total minimum we checked. A 78% total is Proficient on ATI's TEAS 7 scale (58.7% to 79.3%), 2.0 points below Advanced. It meets the total score asked for at all 7 programs in our table that set one. On the older TEAS 6 scale, 78% was Advanced, which is why some sites give a different answer.

  • Is 80 a good TEAS score?

    Yes, it clears every total minimum we checked. An 80% total is Advanced on ATI's TEAS 7 scale (80.0% to 91.3%), 12.0 points below Exemplary. It meets the total score asked for at all 7 programs in our table that set one.

  • Is 85 a good TEAS score?

    Yes, it clears every total minimum we checked. An 85% total is Advanced on ATI's TEAS 7 scale (80.0% to 91.3%), 7.0 points below Exemplary. It meets the total score asked for at all 7 programs in our table that set one.

  • Is 90 a good TEAS score?

    Yes, it clears every total minimum we checked. A 90% total is Advanced on ATI's TEAS 7 scale (80.0% to 91.3%), 2.0 points below Exemplary. It meets the total score asked for at all 7 programs in our table that set one.

  • What is a passing TEAS score?

    There isn't one. ATI says there is no universal passing score and each school sets its own minimum. At the 7 programs in our table that set a total, the score asked for runs from 58.7% to 78%.

  • Can I work out my TEAS total from my section scores?

    No. ATI adjusts your total and each section score separately for the difficulty of your test form, so section scores can't be used to calculate the total. Use the total on your score report.

  • Which TEAS score do schools look at?

    Most programs in our table use the total. ATI also recommends that schools use the overall score rather than single section scores. Some programs also set section minimums, or use them instead of a total: Minnesota State University Moorhead and North Shore Community College.

ATI TEAS 7 score levels

ATI places your total score in one of five academic preparedness levels. Your score report shows the level next to your total.

How this calculator works

  1. Your level comes from the TEAS 7 cut scores in ATI's 2023 research brief.
  2. It never builds a total from section scores. ATI adjusts each score on its own, so they don't add up or average to the total.
  3. "More correct answers" is a rough guide: 150 scored questions, before ATI's adjustment for test difficulty.
  4. Program checks use only the published TEAS minimum. ATI notes that many schools also weigh GPA and other factors.
