What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in North Dakota?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 2 of the 5 North Dakota programs in this dataset publish a total minimum of 55%. 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 North Dakota nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
None of the North Dakota 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 North Dakota nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 2 of 2 published total minimums in North Dakota 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 North Dakota programs?
Not everywhere. 1 program here requires an in-person TEAS, at Williston State College (Dakota Nursing Program). Ask each program which format it accepts before you register.
How many TEAS attempts do North Dakota nursing programs allow?
4 programs here publish an attempt limit. For example, Dakota College at Bottineau: Two attempts are allowed, at least 28 days apart; submit the better score. Scores are valid up to two years before March 5 of the application year. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
