Take time here to tell the story behind how the TEAS was created. Read page 4 & 5 of the Tech Manual.
The key is to share that we gathered Nurse Educators and math, science, reading, and English subject matter experts from the 9-12 grades. Together they discussed what national education standards were important for an entry level nursing student to know. We then sent their analysis out via a national survey to get more feedback. The feedback from the survey and our committee of nurse educators informed the ATI TEAS blueprint.

5. The Challenge
Recent applicants unprepared for the rigor of health sciences
Self-guided prep for TEAS inadequate
Students weaker in substantive knowledge
The number of students graduating from high school unprepared for the rigor of health science study are increasing.
Students lack skills that lead to academic success
Study habits and time management are crucial to self-prep for entrance exams
ATI Proprietary

6. The Solution Aligned to TEAS blueprint Customized and self-guided
Engaging
Students weaker in substantive knowledge
Solution: provide students with the means to help remediate their weaknesses
Students lack study skills (and time management) that lead to academic success
Solution: a self-guided but interactive/engaging tutorial addresses the problem of student focus and discipline to the task. Even better, it is customized to each students’ strengths and weaknesses based on their performance on the pre-test.
Learner-centered, interactive instruction & assessment
Bringing the same engaging style and substantive content clients expect from ATI tutorials like Pharmacology Made Easy and Skills Modules.
Aligned to ATI TEAS
Content is weighted according to the TEAS blueprint, so students focus their studying on the right subjects, in the right proportion.
That means more lessons covering Science and Reading.

18. ATI TEAS Assessment

19. ATI TEAS: Purpose The ATI TEAS will:
Promoting Student and Program Success
The ATI TEAS will:
Measure the level of general academic preparedness of students entering a health science program of study.
Diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of admitted students immediately following entry into a health science program of study.
ATI assessment testing is a proven method of predicting future academic success for nursing and allied health students, based on years of data collected and analyzed by educators. The ATI TEAS tests the basic academic skills that incoming students will need to perform in class and in real-world jobs. The assessments also give you the data you need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your students as they enter your program.

22. ATI TEAS Academic Preparedness Categories
When we created the TEAS, we worked with Nurse Educators to define the following academic preparedness categories. These categories help you think through what type of student your program can support and helps inform the level of academic preparedness of your applicant population.

23. ATI TEAS Academic Preparedness Categories Cut Score
The purpose of the National Standard Setting Study was to develop a set of recommended
criterion-referenced cut scores that nursing schools could adopt as benchmarks for student
performance on the TEAS.
