Nursing and allied health schools use the ATI TEAS in admissions. It covers four subjects: reading, math, science, and English and language usage. Jungle doesn't have ATI's questions, but it can turn what you are studying from (your class notes, slides and study guide chapters) into practice questions that explain every answer and come back until you know them. Below is the TEAS format, from ATI, and how to practice for each section.
The ATI TEAS at a glance
The current version is ATI TEAS Version 7. According to ATI's exam details, it has 170 questions and 209 minutes of testing time. Of the 170, 150 are scored and 20 are unscored pretest questions, as ATI's help center explains.
| Section | Questions | Time | Unscored |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading | 45 | 55 minutes | 6 |
| Mathematics | 38 | 57 minutes | 4 |
| Science | 50 | 60 minutes | 6 |
| English and Language Usage | 37 | 37 minutes | 4 |
| Total | 170 | 209 minutes | 20 |
Question types. Multiple choice, multiple select (select all that apply), fill in the blank, ordered response and hot spots.
Where you take it. Online with a remote proctor from ATI or from your school, or in person at your school or at a PSI testing center.
What each section covers. ATI lists these content areas, with the number of questions in each:
- Reading: key ideas and details (15), craft and structure (9), integration of knowledge and ideas (15)
- Mathematics: numbers and algebra (18), measurement and data (16)
- Science: human anatomy and physiology (18), biology (9), chemistry (8), scientific reasoning (9)
- English and Language Usage: conventions of standard English (12), knowledge of language (11), using language and vocabulary to express ideas in writing (10)
ATI recommends allowing at least six weeks to prepare.
How to make a TEAS practice test with Jungle
1. Gather what you study from
Collect your notes from anatomy and physiology, biology and chemistry classes, your grammar and usage notes, and the chapters of the study guide you use. Group them by TEAS section, so each practice set matches one part of the exam.
2. Upload it
Upload a PDF, PowerPoint, Word file, photos of handwritten notes, or an audio or video file, or paste a link to a YouTube video, a web page or a Google Doc. Jungle writes every question from what you upload.
3. Choose your questions
Use multiple choice and true / false for quick checks, free response when you need to explain a process in your own words, and case questions (advanced difficulty) to apply an idea to a short scenario. Choose how many questions you want (low, medium or high, with an estimate before you start) and the language of the questions.
4. Practice at test pace
Time yourself at the real exam's pace. From ATI's numbers, that is about one minute per question in English and Language Usage (37 in 37 minutes), a little over a minute in Reading (45 in 55) and Science (50 in 60), and about a minute and a half in Mathematics (38 in 57). After each answer, ask Jungle to explain it; the free plan includes a limited number of explanations each hour, and paid plans have no limit.
5. Review what you missed every day
The questions you miss come back in your daily review (spaced repetition) until you get them right. Short daily sessions spread over several weeks work better than cramming the weekend before. When you want one long test across everything, the practice exam generator builds a mock exam from your uploads.
How to study each section
Science. It is the largest section, and human anatomy and physiology is its largest content area, so start there. Upload your A&P notes or slides first, then biology and chemistry. Jungle can also turn a long chapter into notes with a chat beside them, where you can ask for a simpler version, an analogy or a mnemonic. For more ideas, see these anatomy and physiology study tips.
English and Language Usage. Upload your notes on grammar, punctuation and usage rules. Short multiple choice and true / false questions are a quick way to drill rules until you apply them without thinking.
Reading and Mathematics. These sections test skills more than facts. Practice them mostly with timed passages and with problems you work by hand. Jungle helps here with the rules, steps and vocabulary in your notes, not as a replacement for doing problems.
Official TEAS practice tests
ATI, which makes the TEAS, sells two full-length official practice tests (forms A and B). ATI suggests taking one at the start to get a baseline and the second before test day. Jungle fits in between: daily practice on the areas your first practice test shows are weak.
What Jungle doesn't do
- It has no TEAS question bank or ATI questions. Every question comes from the material you upload.
- It doesn't copy TEAS item formats such as hot spots or ordered response. ATI's practice tests have those.
- It writes from your material, so check it. Like any AI, it can get things wrong. If a question surprises you, compare it with your notes and edit or delete it if it's off.
Frequently asked questions

How many questions are on the ATI TEAS?
The TEAS has 170 questions in 209 minutes: 45 in Reading, 38 in Mathematics, 50 in Science and 37 in English and Language Usage. Of those, 150 are scored and 20 are unscored pretest questions.
What question types are on the TEAS?
Multiple choice, multiple select (select all that apply), fill in the blank, ordered response and hot spots.
How soon can I retake the TEAS?
ATI does not require a waiting period between attempts. Retake rules are set by your school or program, so check with them before you register again.
Can I take the TEAS online?
Yes. You can take it online with a remote proctor from ATI or your school, or in person at your school or a PSI testing center.
Can I use Jungle on my phone?
Yes. Jungle works on the web and has iPhone and Android apps, and your questions and daily review are the same on all of them.
Does Jungle help after the TEAS, in nursing school?
Yes. The same approach works for course exams and, later, the licensing exam. See NCLEX practice questions from your own notes.
