It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 2 of the 4 Washington programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 58.7% to 70% (median 64.3%). A program’s minimum is the lowest score it accepts, not the score that makes an application competitive.
Do Washington nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
Yes, 3 programs here do. Lower Columbia College: Reading 69%, Math 63.3%, Science 45.8%, English 60%. Wenatchee Valley College: Total 58.7%; Reading 69%, Math 63.3%, Science 45.8%, English 60%. Yakima Valley College: Reading 58.7%, Math 58.7%, Science 58.7%, English 58.7%; level: Proficient (in each area). Check every line of your score report, not just the total.
Is a 70 on the TEAS enough for Washington nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 2 of 2 published total minimums in Washington 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 Washington programs?
None of the Washington 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 Washington nursing programs allow?
None of the Washington program pages in this dataset states an attempt limit. ATI requires no waiting period between attempts, but programs can set limits, so ask before you retest.
