Nursing Entrance Exam Help (ATI / TEAS / HESI)

Provide the exam name, your nursing school’s name, the required sections or subtests, your test date, your current practice or diagnostic score if you have one, and your target score. If the school provides a specific admissions page, blueprint, or testing instruction, share the relevant information with your tutor. This prevents a common problem in exam preparation: spending time on material that is not part of the assessment you actually need to take.

Yes. A targeted session can focus on one section or subtest when that is where your largest weakness lies. Examples include TEAS Science help, TEAS Math tutoring, HESI A&P, HESI Chemistry, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, or Grammar. A focused approach can be particularly useful when your other sections are already at or above your target level.

Not necessarily. Start with your school’s current required subtests. Elsevier’s HESI materials cover multiple domains, but individual programs decide which assessments they administer. If your program does not require a particular science subtest, your limited study time may be better spent strengthening the sections that will actually affect your application.

A diagnostic provides a baseline. The important information is not only the percentage but the pattern of errors. If you miss questions because you do not know the content, you need concept review. If you know the content but misread the question, you need question-analysis practice. If you know both but run out of time, you need pacing drills. This classification helps prevent generic studying.

Yes, the preparation can be organized around the overlap between your programs and then separated where requirements differ. Create a school comparison showing the required exam, sections, score threshold, accepted test date or validity period, and retake rules. That comparison becomes the foundation for a study schedule that avoids unnecessary duplication.

A near-target result is a reason to analyze errors carefully, not automatically repeat the same study plan. Review your score report, identify the weakest domains, examine timing and test-day conditions, and confirm the current retake rules. A small number of recurring error types may represent a more useful preparation target than another complete review of every chapter.

It can be useful when expectations are realistic. With very little time, prioritize the highest-impact weaknesses, essential formulas, major science relationships, reading strategy, and test-day execution. Last-minute tutoring should not promise to replace weeks of learning; it should help you use the remaining preparation window efficiently and avoid preventable errors.

Use the current official information from ATI for TEAS structure, registration, and administration, and use Elsevier/HESI resources for HESI information. Most importantly, confirm the admissions policy published by your nursing school because the institution determines how an entrance score is used in its own application process.

Yes. Once you enter the program, the academic tasks change. You may need support with nursing assignments, evidence-based practice, care plans, concept maps, SOAP notes, discussion posts, pharmacology, case studies, and advanced BSN, MSN, or DNP coursework.

The ATI TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) is a standardized admissions exam developed by Assessment Technologies Institute, used by the majority of Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), and Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) programs in the United States to evaluate academic readiness. The current version is TEAS 7, launched in 2022. It tests four sections: Reading, Mathematics, Science, and English and Language Usage over a total of 209 minutes. If your target nursing program is in the U.S., it very likely requires the TEAS — check the program’s admissions page to confirm which version and what minimum score they accept.

The HESI A2 (Health Education Systems Inc. Admission Assessment), published by Elsevier, is a pre-admission exam used by many nursing programs — particularly those affiliated with the Evolve/Elsevier learning platform. Unlike the TEAS, individual schools select which HESI A2 subtests to require — so your experience will vary significantly by program. Common required subtests include Vocabulary & General Knowledge, Reading Comprehension, Grammar, Basic Math, and one or more science subtests (Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, Physics). Always confirm which subtests your specific program requires before beginning prep.

There is no single universal passing score. Each nursing program sets its own minimum composite score requirement — commonly between 58% and 75%. Many community college ADN programs accept scores in the Proficient range (58.7%–74.9%). Competitive BSN programs at universities, however, frequently require Advanced-range scores (75%–90.5%) and may use TEAS scores comparatively to rank applicants against each other. Knowing the average accepted score at your target program — not just the stated minimum — is essential for setting a realistic prep target.

Retake policies depend on the testing provider and the nursing program. Some schools accept only a first score, while others permit additional attempts under defined conditions. Always confirm your target program’s retake policy before scheduling a second attempt. This is why preparing thoroughly before your first attempt is critical — you should not plan your strategy around retakes.

Difficulty is subjective and depends heavily on the subtests your program requires. Many students find the HESI A2 science subtests — particularly Chemistry and Anatomy & Physiology — more content-intensive than the TEAS science section, especially if their foundational science background is limited. The TEAS 7 tends to prioritize reading comprehension and scientific reasoning at a slightly more generalized level. The HESI math section, while shorter, includes clinically specific dosage calculation problems. Neither exam is inherently “easier” — your relative performance will depend on your academic background and which sections you prepare for most thoroughly.

Our ATI TEAS 7 preparation covers all four official sections in full: Reading (key ideas, craft and structure, integration of knowledge — 45 scored items), Mathematics (numbers and algebra, measurement and data — 38 items), Science (human anatomy and physiology, life science, physical and earth science, scientific reasoning — 50 items), and English and Language Usage (conventions, vocabulary, knowledge of language — 37 items). We also cover test-taking strategy, pacing, and diagnostic assessment. Sessions can focus on specific sections or provide comprehensive coverage across all four.

Yes. Same-day and urgent prep sessions are available. A tutor is matched within 30 minutes of your order. With less than a week before your exam, the prep focus shifts to high-yield targeted review — your most critical weak sections, A&P body systems flashcards, math formula consolidation, and test-taking strategy — rather than comprehensive content coverage. We’re honest about what’s achievable: the goal with a short timeline is to maximize your current preparation and minimize test-day errors, not to cover everything from scratch.

Yes. Beyond the ATI TEAS entrance exam, ATI administers a full suite of proctored and non-proctored exams throughout nursing programs — including ATI Fundamentals, ATI Pharmacology, ATI Med-Surg, ATI Maternal Newborn, ATI Mental Health, and others. Our nursing-qualified tutors provide prep support for all ATI in-program exams, working through practice questions, concept explanations, and content review aligned to ATI’s exam blueprints.
