What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in Minnesota?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 5 of the 7 Minnesota programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 58% to 70% (median 58.7%). A program’s minimum is the lowest score it accepts, not the score that makes an application competitive.
Do Minnesota nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
Yes, 1 program here does. Minnesota State University Moorhead: Total 58.7%; Science 41.3%. Check every line of your score report, not just the total.
Is a 70 on the TEAS enough for Minnesota nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 5 of 5 published total minimums in Minnesota 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 Minnesota programs?
Not everywhere. 3 programs here require an in-person TEAS, at Bemidji State University, Minnesota State College Southeast and Minnesota State University, Mankato. Ask each program which format it accepts before you register.
How many TEAS attempts do Minnesota nursing programs allow?
One program here publishes an attempt limit, Minnesota State University, Mankato: Test in person; online scores are not accepted. Only the first attempt in a semester counts, the highest valid score across semesters is used, and scores are valid one year. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
