The TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) test is one part of the criteria for admittance into one of GTCC’s limited enrollment programs associated with health careers. The TEAS test is a high demand test. The number of students desiring to take the TEAS test increases substantially prior to semester breaks, end of terms, during registration periods, and as program deadlines approach.  Plan accordingly to avoid testing delays. 

The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS®) is a three hour and twenty-nine minute test that is broken into four parts and consists of multiple-choice questions covering the following:

• Reading (64 minutes / 53 items)
• Math (54 minutes / 36 items)
• Science (63 minutes / 53 items)
• English (28 minutes / 28 items)

*This version of TEAS does permit the use of a calculator during the math section. However, the calculator is embedded within the test itself you do not need to bring a calculator with you.

Due to staffing concerns, TEAS testing is only available at the GTCC Jamestown Assessment Center, 601 E. Main St. Jamestown, NC 27282 (campus location is Applied Technologies Building Room 220).

You must have the following items with you when you arrive to take the TEAS test:

• A photo ID, such as a valid, unexpired driver's license, state ID card or passport with photo, address, and signature. A photo of your id is not acceptable.
• Your ATI user ID and password. (Arriving for your appointment without an ATI user id and password may result in the rescheduling of your appointment, due to the time necessary to create the ID.) We also suggest you log into the ATI website within 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment to confirm your user ID and password are working correctly.

A receipt from the GTCC cashier’s office confirming payment.

• Reading – paragraph comprehension, passage comprehension, and inferences/conclusions
• Math – whole numbers, metric conversion, fractions, decimals, algebraic equations, percentages, and ratio/proportion
• Science – science reasoning, science knowledge, biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, basic physical principles, and general science
• English and Language Usage – punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, contextual words, and spelling

An individual may take the TEAS test a total of three times at GTCC. Once a student has completed their third attempt, they will have to find another testing site.

There has been an increase in TEAS fees, effective immediately.

The testing fee for GTCC students is $73.00 and Non-GTCC students will be charged $98.00.

If you are looking for study material the ATI website suggests the use of the TEAS Study Manual, sixth edition. Do not use the outdated TEAS V study material to prepare yourself for this test. Study material can be purchased from GTCC’s Jamestown Book Store or from the ATI website www.atitesting.com.

The tests are exactly alike. The remotely proctored version does require that you complete what is called a dry run. This ensures that both your computer and your home network will be able to provide the consistency necessary for the test.

Payment differs slightly between the two tests.

• For an in-person test you will make payment on the day of your test.
• For the remotely proctored version, payment is made online to the Cashier’s Office and must be paid at least two days in advance of the test.

It is exactly the same test. It is the process that differs slightly. The remote version does require additional tech requirements in order to maintain the integrity of the assessment and ensure uncompromised exam results.

The ATI TEAS, or Test of Essential Academic Skills, is designed specifically to assess a student's preparedness entering the health science fields.

The ATI TEAS test is comprised of 170 questions set up in a multiple-choice format with four-option answers. Questions are designed to test the basic academic skills you will need to perform in class in the areas of: Reading, Math, Science, and English and Language Usage. For additional information, see FAQs about the ATI TEAS Exam.
