What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in Florida?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 8 of the 11 Florida programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 58% to 80% (median 78%). A program’s minimum is the lowest score it accepts, not the score that makes an application competitive.
Do Florida nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
Yes, 1 program here does. Broward College: Total 80%; Reading 80%, Math 80%, Science 80%, English 80%. Check every line of your score report, not just the total.
Is a 70 on the TEAS enough for Florida nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 3 of 8 published total minimums in Florida in this dataset. Meeting a minimum makes you eligible to apply; it does not predict admission, and section minimums or ranking may still apply. Treat any practice score as an estimate.
Can I take the TEAS remotely for Florida programs?
Not everywhere. 5 programs here require an in-person TEAS, at Broward College, Hillsborough Community College, Seminole State College of Florida and South Florida State College. Ask each program which format it accepts before you register.
How many TEAS attempts do Florida nursing programs allow?
6 programs here publish an attempt limit. For example, Seminole State College of Florida: Up to 3 attempts per calendar year, at least 30 days apart; scores are valid for 2 years. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
Do any Florida nursing programs not require the TEAS?
Santa Fe College does not use the TEAS for the program listed here.
