To allow time for studying, and potential retesting, it is recommended that a student tests for the first time 6 weeks before the application deadline.
Centra College has clear eligibility scores, so you will know immediately after taking the test whether you are eligible for admission.
• ADN applicants need an overall score of 55.0 or higher.
• PN applicants need an overall score of 50.0 or higher.
If you do not achieve the required score on your first attempt, you are eligible to retest. If a student retests, it is recommended that they take advantage of the free focused remediation tools that are offered to them via their ATI account after their first attempt. ATI recommends a student to study their focused review for 2 weeks before their second attempt at the TEAS.
Please note that TEAS test scores must be no more than 12 months old from the application deadline. If your TEAS scores are older than a year, you will need to re-test before the application deadline.
There are several options for you to take the TEAS exam:
| Test Options |
