APPLYING TO NURSING SCHOOL
According to the AACN’s (American Association of Colleges of Nursing) survey
conducted in fall 2021, there was a 3.3% enrollment increase to baccalaureate
nursing programs. Despite the high interest, 76,140 qualified applications were
not accepted.
The reasons for this high number of unsuccessful applications are mainly two-
fold. First, there weren't enough spaces, or funding, available for so many
applicants, and second, despite meeting admission criteria, many applicants
were beaten by others with better scores.
The good news is that the nursing sector is growing at a rate of 16%, which is
quite fast, meaning that nearly half a million new jobs will exist by 2024. The
other good news is that you can do a lot of preparation to boost your scores and
increase your chances of being accepted into your preferred program.
How do I beat the competition?

Based on the data above, it is safe to assume that from the outset, your
application has a 50% chance of being successful. To increase your
chances, prepare for the challenges you need to overcome. One of
the challenges you have more control over is the TEAS test.
If ATI Testing’s TEAS test is a part of your application, the following ten steps
can help you better prepare and increase your chances of not only getting the
grades required, but exceeding them. Beat the competition, boost your
confidence, and ace the TEAS.

TEN STEPS TO PASS THE TEAS
1. Familiarize yourself with formalities.
Where can you take the test?
When must you register?
Can you retake the test if you don’t get a good result?
How much time do you need between retakes?
Find out this information and plan accordingly. Check out our website to get
started: https://www.testprep-online.com/teas-7
2. Take a practice test.

Just how good are you at the TEAS? Use one of our ATI TEAS 7 practice tests to
see how much you know. Taking a full-length TEAS test can help you
establish what you need to focus on as well as benchmark your starting
score.
We advise that you take the test unprepared. Attempt all the questions. Make
a note of your score, particularly what percentage of questions you got right for
each section.
3. Create a study plan.

Start by dividing up the different topics. You can use our TEAS subject
webpages for topic guidance. Break the topics down as small as possible. Plan
20-minute to one-hour study sessions for yourself. Remember:
Tailor your study plan to the time you have before test day. Make sure you
aren’t learning things up to the last minute. Give yourself a few weeks to
review the material.
How much time do you need to learn the material? Be realistic; remember
DNA wasn’t discovered in a day.
How much time do you need to test your knowledge? Learning the material
is only half the battle.
How well do you perform on tests? Do you feel like you do well on tests, or
are your palms sweaty at the thought of test day? Be sure to take extra timed
practice tests to calm your nerves and to teach yourself to perform better
under stressful circumstances.
4. Identify the important topics.
Each topic is important, but focus on the topics that feature more questions
compared to others.
This section contains 50 questions and is worth 29% of the TEAS 7 test.
The following pie chart shows how much each topic is worth for this section:

5. Know the difference between the TEAS 6 and ATI TEAS 7
test.
As of June 3rd, 2022, ATI has released version 7 of the TEAS test, called the
ATI TEAS 7.
The new version keeps the general format of the old one, meaning that the four
sections stay the same, as well as the total number of questions and time limit.
What did change is the ratio of how many questions there are for each section and
sub-section. This table shows the precise changes:
ATI TEAS 7 ATI TEAS 6

Reading 45 questions Reading 53 questions
Key Ideas & Details 15 Key Ideas & Details 22
Craft & Structure 9 Craft & Structure 14
Integration of Knowledge & Ideas 15 Integration of Knowledge & Ideas 11
Unscored Items 6 Unscored Items 6
Math 38 questions Math 36 questions
Numbers & Algebra 18 Numbers & Algebra 23
Measurement & Data 16 Measurement & Data 9
Science 50 questions Science 53 questions
Human Anatomy & Physiology 18 Human Anatomy & Physiology 32
Biology 9 Life and Physical Science 8
Chemistry 8 Scientific Reasoning 7
Scientific Reasoning 9
English and Language Usage 37 questions English and Language Usage 28 questions
Conventions of Standard English 12 Conventions of Standard English 9
Knowledge of Language 11 Knowledge of Language 9
Using Language and Vocabulary 10 Vocabulary Acquisition 6
to Express Ideas in Writing
In addition, unlike the TEAS 6 that had only multiple choice questions, the
TEAS 7 has 5 question types. The new question types (besides multiple
choice):
• Multiple select-these questions will provide you four or more answer
choices, and more than one answer can be correct.
• Supply Answer-in these types of questions you have to "fill in the blank"
and you don't have any answer choices provided to you.
9
• Hot Spot- in these questions you are given an image with clickable areas,
and you must choose which is the correct one.
• Ordered Response- in these questions you are provided with four to six
responses, and you need to order them in a logical and correct manner.
6. Study in segments.
Does your list of subjects to learn look ridiculously long? No fear; keep it in
segments and tackle one at a time. Dipping in and out of nursing forums is not
studying. Avoid procrastination by taking timed study sessions, and choose
sleep over long, late hours of staring blankly at the screen.
7. Test your progress.
After you have studied a cluster of topics, test your knowledge. You can use our
supplementary practice questions in the ATI TEAS Premium Pack to see how
you are doing.
Remember, no matter how many questions you attempt, keep a record of what
your success percentage is. Be serious about taking the test in an environment
like the real test—no music, only silence, no distractions, and with a timer.
8. Understand the test format.

The time frames for each of the sections are as follows:
Reading 45 questions (39 scored) 55 minutes

Mathematics 38 questions (34 scored) 57 minutes
Science 50 questions (44 scored) 60 minutes
English & Language Usage 37 questions (33 scored) 37 minutes
Total: 170 questions 209 minutes
There is not much time for each question, so there are techniques to be
learned when approaching the different sections. Be sure to read the answer
explanations that accompany our free practice questions. These explanations
offer tips and techniques for better methods of taking the test.
10
9. Focus on your weakest areas.
Use your results from the practice test to identify your weakest areas. Refocus
your attention on these topics. Re-learn the material, using the detailed
explanations to help understand where you are going wrong.
10. When test day is a week away…

Double-check the schedule for test day, including:
What time it is held;

What you can and cannot take into the test center; and
How to get there.
Revisit notes with confidence and take a final practice test at least two days
before the real test.
Don’t worry if you do badly on some questions. The scores will help you to
focus your attention on your most important notes.
On test day, head to the test center with a positive outlook. Do a power pose
for two minutes before you start the test. Good luck!

TEAS 7 PRACTICE TEST -
ANSWERS & EXPLANATIONS
Question 1
Which organelle performs autophagy?
A. Proteasome
B. Cytoskeleton
C. Ribosome
D. Lysosome
Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is (D).
The lysosome is an acidic organelle that contains degrading enzymes.

Lysosomes can digest worn-out organelles and release their components to be
re-used in the cytoplasm. This process is called autophagy (“self-digestion”).
The proteasome is a complex that degrades malfunctioning/misfolded proteins

to peptides, the cytoskeleton maintains the shape and general organization of
cellular contents, and the ribosome is a large cellular complex that translates
messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules to protein.
Question 2
Fe + O2 → Fe2O3
Which of the following choices shows the correct molarity of the reaction
above?
A. Fe + O2 → 2Fe2O3
B. Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3
C. Fe + 3O2 → Fe2O3
D. 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3
The reaction above is the oxidation of iron. First, look at the number of oxygen
moles of the products. Three oxygen moles mean that the oxygen moles on the left
(reactants) must be multiplied by 3 and the oxygen moles on the right (product)
must be multiplied by 2. This is done to achieve an identical number of oxygen
moles on both sides.
Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3
After balancing the oxygen moles, the number of ferritin moles becomes
unbalanced—one on the left, four on the right. To fix this, simply multiply the
number of ferritin moles on the left by four:
4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3, which is the balanced equation.
Question 3
Which of the following is carried out by the Luteinizing hormone (LH)?
A. Protection of pregnancy
B. Ovulation
C. Menstruation
D. Labor
The correct answer is (B).
The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is produced in the gonadotropic cells of the

anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of the hormone levels
triggers ovulation.
Progesterone is secreted from the Corpus Luteum, and during pregnancy, from
the placenta. A decrease in progesterone leads to menstruation, and during
pregnancy the levels of progesterone greatly increase. A drop in progesterone
in late pregnancy leads to labor.
Oxytocin is produced by the hypothalamus and is secreted in large amounts

during labor.
Question 4
Which of the following is spelled correctly?
A. neumonia
B. pnumonia
C. numonia
D. pneumonia

Pneumonia is a lung inflammation caused by a bacterial or viral infection.
Question 5
Which of the following inferences can be drawn from the passage?
A. India's economy is weakening.

B. India's economy grew more slowly this quarter than the previous
quarter.
C. The Bloomberg News survey overestimated the growth of India's
economy.
D. The Reserve Bank of India is undisturbed by inflation in the near term.
The correct answer is (B).
The third sentence states that the economy grew 7.7% during the three
months ending June 30, while the fourth sentence states that the economy
grew 7.8% during the previous three months.
Answer (A) is incorrect because the passage only mentions India’s economy
growing.
Answer (C) is incorrect because the fifth sentence states that Bloomberg News
predicted a 7.6% increase and the third sentence states that the actual increase
was 7.7%. Bloomberg underestimated the growth.
Answer (D) is incorrect because the word "stubborn" indicates that the
inflation is behaving in a way the Reserve Bank does not view favorably.
Question 6
Which of the following beliefs is not supported by this passage?
A. Inflation and consumption are not affected by the same factors.

B. The global recovery is weakening.
C. India's currency is gaining value.
D. High interest rates are generally necessary for economic growth.

The first sentence states that India's economy's fast growth is maintaining
pressure on the central bank to extend its interest rate increases, even as the
global recovery weakens. This means that global economic growth is suffering
due to the high interest rates and that there is a need to lower them to allow
for economic growth.
Answer (A) is incorrect because the last sentence states that India’s
consumption has "remained strong" because of higher salaries, while
inflation may remain "stubborn." The bank attributes the strong consumption
to the high salaries, but it does not mention what is causing the inflation to
remain stubborn. It can be inferred that this is caused by a different factor.
Answer (B) is incorrect because the first sentence states, "… even as the global
recovery weakens."
Answer (C) is incorrect because the second sentence states, "Stocks, bond
yields, and the rupee, India's currency, advanced."
Question 7
The pie chart above shows how fast drivers pulled over for speeding were
driving above the speed limit. According to the chart, which of the following is
NOT true?
A. More drivers were pulled over for speeding 10–20 MPH above the speed limit
than for speeding 20–30 MPH above the speed limit.
B. Fewer than 50% of all drivers pulled over for speeding were speeding either
< 10 MPH or > 30 MPH above the speed limit.
C. More drivers were pulled over for speeding 10–20 MPH above the speed limit
than for speeding > 30 MPH above the speed limit.
D. More than half of all drivers pulled over for speeding were speeding at least
20 MPH above the speed limit.

The pie slices representing drivers pulled over for speeding at least 20 MPH
above the speed limit (20–30 MPH and >30 MPH) is less than half the entire
pie as these are represented by the green and purple sections of the pie.
Answer (A) is incorrect as the red section of the pie (10-20 MPH) is clearly
larger than the green section (20-30 MPH). Therefore, this statement is true,
not false.
Answer (B) is talking about the combined areas of the blue section (<10 MPH)
and the purple section (>30 MPH), and together they make up less than half
the circle. Therefore, this statement is also true.
20
Answer (C) is also true as the red section (10-20 MPH) is larger than the purple
section (>30 MPH).
Therefore, the only false statement is (D).
Question 8
Yesterday, Bob earned $50 mowing lawns. Today, Bob earned 60% of what he
earned yesterday. How much money did Bob earn today?
A. $3
B. $25
C. $30
D. $40

The correct answer is (C).
60% of $50 is the same as $50 × 0.6, which is equivalent to

and $30.
Question 9
After years of serving the community, due to lack of funds the local library will
be shut down.
Which of the following phrases is misplaced in the sentence above?
A. After years of
B. the community
C. due to lack of funds
D. will be shut down
The correct answer is (C).
The descriptive phrase “After years of serving the community” refers to the
local library. Consequently, the correct phrasing of the sentence is, “After
years of serving the community, the local library will be shut down due to lack
of funds.”
21
Question 10
She has very set ideas about how parents should behave.
Which of the following dictionary definitions is most appropriate for "set" as

used in the sentence above?
A. A growing number or a collection of
B. Fixed or firmly settled
C. The act or action of setting
D. Being in readiness, prepared

The correct answer is (B),"fixed or firmly settled."
The word "set" has several meanings. However, in the context provided in the
sentence, you can infer which meaning is the relevant one.
You must check which option both fits the general notion conveyed in the
sentence and corresponds well with the structure of the sentence.
Option (A): In addition, saying that the woman has a VERY collection (or
growing number) of ideas doesn't sit well with the sentence.
Option (C): Suggesting that the woman is performing an action about how
parents should behave doesn't stand to logic either.
Option (D): Saying the woman is VERY prepared (or full or readiness) ideas also
does not comprise a proper sentence.
Option (B): According to this option, the woman has firm (or fixed) ideas as to
how parents should behave. This sentence makes sense and therefore is the
correct answer.
Solving tip: There are two ways to tackle these sorts of questions:
1) Method One:
Read the sentence.
Figure out the appropriate definition.
Look for an answer choice that states your anticipated answer.
If such an answer exists, choose it. If not, check the answer choices one by
one and choose the one that fits best.
22
2) Method Two:
Read the sentence.
Go over the answer choices one by one.
Choose the answer that fits best.
Even though the first method might seem longer (especially if your
anticipated answer does not appear among the answer choices), we
recommended using it over the second method. The reason is that some of the
answer choices are designed to distract you from the correct answer.
Anticipating the correct answer may help you avoid these traps and enhance
your ability to manage the test, instead of it managing you.
