Summary

Overview of TEAS test registration, preparation, locations, cost, and times 

Register for/Cancel TEAS

You can register for or cancel a TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) through the ATI Testing website, atitesting.com. From that page, click on "Register for TEAS" on the bottom-right side of the page. In order to take the TEAS, you'll first need to meet with an Academic Advisor in the Bailey Building and get a TEAS ticket.

Keep in mind that TEAS exams are only scheduled at A-B Tech during certain times of the year, so when searching for a TEAS testing location on atitesting.com, A-B Tech will only be listed when TEAS exams have been scheduled. 

If you lost your TEAS ticket, you can obtain another one from the Admissions Office in the Bailey Student Services Building.

The TEAS test costs $55. For payment information, visit atitesting.com.
