What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in Missouri?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 5 of the 8 Missouri programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 58.7% to 70% (median 60%). 2 more programs name an ATI level instead of a number. A program’s minimum is the lowest score it accepts, not the score that makes an application competitive.
Do Missouri nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
None of the Missouri 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 Missouri nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 5 of 5 published total minimums in Missouri 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 Missouri programs?
None of the Missouri program pages in this dataset states an in-person-only rule, but ATI notes that some schools reject remote or outside scores. Ask each program before you register.
How many TEAS attempts do Missouri nursing programs allow?
One program here publishes an attempt limit, State Technical College of Missouri: Complete the TEAS within five years of applying; it may be taken up to three times per admissions cycle. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
Do any Missouri nursing programs not require the TEAS?
Missouri State University does not use the TEAS for the program listed here.
