What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in Ohio?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 4 of the 7 Ohio programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 58% to 66% (median 62.4%). 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 Ohio nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
Yes, 1 program here does. Shawnee State University: Total 58.7%; Reading 58.7%, Math 58.7%, Science 58.7%, English 58.7%; level: Proficient. Check every line of your score report, not just the total.
Is a 70 on the TEAS enough for Ohio nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 4 of 4 published total minimums in Ohio 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 Ohio programs?
None of the Ohio 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 Ohio nursing programs allow?
3 programs here publish an attempt limit. For example, Shawnee State University: Applicants who do not pass must complete remediation and may retake the TEAS up to two more times within one year, with at least 14 days between attempts. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
