What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in Kentucky?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 5 of the 6 Kentucky programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 41.3% to 80% (median 64%). A program’s minimum is the lowest score it accepts, not the score that makes an application competitive.
Do Kentucky nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
None of the Kentucky programs in this dataset publishes a separate section minimum. Some may still use section scores when they rank applicants, so read each program’s page.
Is a 70 on the TEAS enough for Kentucky nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 3 of 5 published total minimums in Kentucky 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 Kentucky programs?
Not everywhere. 3 programs here require an in-person TEAS, at Morehead State University and Owensboro Community and Technical College (KCTCS). Ask each program which format it accepts before you register.
How many TEAS attempts do Kentucky nursing programs allow?
3 programs here publish an attempt limit. For example, Bluegrass Community and Technical College (KCTCS): Scores must be within three years of the deadline, and the exam may be taken every 30 days up to 3 times a year. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
