What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in South Carolina?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 4 of the 6 South Carolina programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 58.7% to 70% (median 65.2%). A program’s minimum is the lowest score it accepts, not the score that makes an application competitive.
Do South Carolina nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
Yes, 2 programs here do. Florence-Darlington Technical College (ADN): Total 65.3%; Reading 69.2%, Math 64.7%, Science 54.5%, English 63.6%; level: Proficient. Florence-Darlington Technical College (LPN): Total 58.7%; Reading 69.2%, Science 54.5%; level: Proficient. Check every line of your score report, not just the total.
Is a 70 on the TEAS enough for South Carolina nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 4 of 4 published total minimums in South Carolina 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 South Carolina programs?
Not everywhere. 1 program here requires an in-person TEAS, at Greenville Technical College. Ask each program which format it accepts before you register.
How many TEAS attempts do South Carolina nursing programs allow?
4 programs here publish an attempt limit. For example, Florence-Darlington Technical College: Wait 14 days between attempts, with up to 4 attempts per year; scores are valid for 4 years. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
