Contact the school in which you are applying. Some schools handle administering the test at the school while others will go through a testing center like PSI.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Register for an exam as soon as you decide to apply for an academic program. Testing dates fill up quickly, as they operate on a first-come, first-served basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Test day<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no need to bring a calculator come test day. A four-function calculator will be provided for paper and pencil exams, and a drop-down calculator will be embedded into computerized versions of the test. If you\u2019re taking the exam on a computer, your results should be ready within two days of the test.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to ATI Testing, 40 percent of students take the exam more than once. It\u2019s important to note that test-takers are allowed to take the TEAS three times per calendar year. Each school has different admissions requirements, so verify the score needed to pass the exam with your school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need help finding the right program for you?
