TEAS Score Calculator

Question 1

How is the TEAS score calculated?

TEAS Academy · Accepted Answer

Your composite score is a weighted average of four section scores. Reading and Science are weighted more heavily (31% each), Math is 22%, and English is 16%. Only scored questions count — unscored pretest items are not included.

Question 2

What is a good TEAS score?

TEAS Academy · Accepted Answer

A 'good' score depends on your program. ADN programs typically require 58–65%. BSN programs require 65–75%. Competitive BSN programs (UCLA, NYU, etc.) may require 80%+. The national average is around 65%.

Question 3

Can I retake the TEAS to improve my score?

TEAS Academy · Accepted Answer

Yes. ATI allows up to 3 attempts per year. Most schools accept the highest score. However, individual programs may have their own retake policies (30–60 day waiting period).

Question 4

What percentile is an 80% TEAS score?

TEAS Academy · Accepted Answer

An 80% composite score typically places you in the 85th–90th percentile nationally, meaning you scored higher than 85–90% of all test takers.

Question 5

Do nursing programs look at individual section scores?

TEAS Academy · Accepted Answer

Many programs have minimum section score requirements in addition to the composite score. For example, some require at least 70% in Reading or Science specifically.
