What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in Virginia?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 4 of the 8 Virginia programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 53% to 65% (median 65%). A program’s minimum is the lowest score it accepts, not the score that makes an application competitive.
Do Virginia nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
Yes, 2 programs here do. Danville Community College: Total 65%; Science 51.1%. Southside Virginia Community College: Total 53%; Math 53%. Check every line of your score report, not just the total.
Is a 70 on the TEAS enough for Virginia nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 4 of 4 published total minimums in Virginia 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 Virginia programs?
Not everywhere. 1 program here requires an in-person TEAS, at Southwest Virginia Community College. Ask each program which format it accepts before you register.
How many TEAS attempts do Virginia nursing programs allow?
4 programs here publish an attempt limit. For example, Danville Community College: The TEAS must be within one year at the time of application; three attempts per acceptance period, at least 2 weeks apart. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
