What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in New York?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 4 of the 8 New York programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 58.7% to 70% (median 60.4%). 3 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 New York nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
Yes, 1 program here does. Touro University (NYSCAS): Total 70%; Math 70%, Science 70%; level: Proficient. Check every line of your score report, not just the total.
Is a 70 on the TEAS enough for New York nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 4 of 4 published total minimums in New York 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 New York programs?
Not everywhere. 2 programs here require an in-person TEAS, at SUNY Rockland Community College and Touro University (NYSCAS). Ask each program which format it accepts before you register.
How many TEAS attempts do New York nursing programs allow?
3 programs here publish an attempt limit. For example, Excelsior University: Complete all four sections in one attempt. Scores count only if taken within a year before applying, and you may test twice per calendar year, at home or in person. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
