Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the content area changes that are coming with the updated blueprint?

When will the ATI TEAS, Version 7 launch?

The ATI TEAS, Version 7 will launch on June 3, 2022

Will all institutions be switched to ATI TEAS, Version 7 (the new blueprint) or can a school choose to stay on the current version of the ATI TEAS?

All institutions will be automatically switched to the new blueprint. This will be done with little disruption to clients via a seamless process on the backend. To aid with the transition, we’ve provided a helpful Transition Toolkit for institutions to prepare. We are also providing additional support to TEAS registrants.

What happens if the switch causes issues for our test takers or proctors?

Additional service hours have been added from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CST on Saturday, June 4 to aid in a seamless transition for schools testing on that day.

In addition, ATI has implemented a testing black out period on June 3, 4 and 5 for registrations taking place on ATI’s website to ensure this transition has minimal effect on test takers.

Will the structure of the ATI TEAS remain the same with Version 7?

The exam will continue to have 150 scored items with 20 pre-test items. Refer to the comparison table above or in the Executive Summary + Content Specifications for the full breakdown.

Will institutions be able to maintain their current cut score?

Yes – Because we are maintaining scale continuity between blueprints, institutions who use the ATI TEAS Cut Score Analysis Tool will be able to keep their current cut score.

Since ATI TEAS, Version 7 will include updated national means, institutions that use national means as a cut score in their program admissions policies will need to be revised. Learn more here: Cut Score Info Sheet

What is scale continuity?

Each time we update a blueprint, we have the opportunity to change the underlying statistical scale that produces reported scores or to keep that underlying statistical scale the same through the content changes.

Based upon empirical evidence, including a data analysis of TEAS assessments as well as judgments from content experts familiar with health science fields and TEAS content, ATI has decided to keep the statistical scale the same for ATI TEAS, Version 7. This means that the scores for ATI TEAS (2016 blueprint) are comparable to scores on the ATI TEAS, Version 7 (2021 blueprint) and your admissions criteria can remain the same. Scale continuity will make score use, interpretation, and longitudinal tracking easier for TEAS users.

How long should institutions accept cut scores from the previous blueprint?

It is up to the institution to determine the length of time they will accept transcripts for students who tested prior to June 3, 2022 without having students retest.

What scoring metric is used for the ATI TEAS?

ATI TEAS, Version 7 will continue to be reported as adjusted percent correct scores, (for example 58.7%).
