ATI TEAS 7 English & Language Usage Study Guide

The ATI TEAS is the entrance exam most nursing and allied health programs use to assess academic readiness. The current version, TEAS 7, has 170 questions across four sections — Reading, Mathematics, Science, and English and Language Usage — with a total testing time of 209 minutes. It is administered by ATI, and each program sets its own minimum score for admission.

Nursing programs at every level use the TEAS, and so do many allied health programs, including dental hygiene, radiologic technology, respiratory care, and physical therapist assistant. If your program requires an entrance exam, the TEAS is the most common one.

Yes. These materials are built for ATI TEAS 7 and the 2026-2027 content categories and question types.

No. It is written for anyone taking the ATI TEAS, which includes applicants to dental hygiene, radiologic technology, respiratory care, and physical therapist assistant programs. The content and reasoning skills apply regardless of which program you are applying to. We all take the exact same TEAS test.

It depends on the type of program. LPN programs generally look for 50 to 60%. RN programs, both ADN and BSN, generally want 80% or above. At competitive schools and in competitive states, successful applicants are often at 90% or higher. Competitive allied health programs tend to look for scores in the high 80s because seats are limited. Check the specific programs on your list, since every school sets its own requirements.

Usually yes, because most programs look at your composite score rather than individual sections. That said, some programs set minimums on specific sections, often Reading or Math. Check your program's policy, since this varies more than students expect.

No, but they overlap heavily. Both are nursing school entrance exams testing reading, math, science, and English, and the underlying content is largely the same. They differ in structure, timing, and which topics carry more weight. Which one you take is determined by your program.

Yes, and many students do, because the exams test much of the same underlying material. The most efficient approach is to study the shared content once, then cover the differences separately, rather than preparing for each exam from scratch.
