They only make you take the practice test twice. Then it's gone. My advice is that you can just buy the ATI practice books instead, and there are practice test in there that doesn't disappear. You will save money that way. Not to mention that you have to pay 60 dollars when you take the actual test. I bought the practice test TWICE. YES, TWICE because I thought the second one will be different. BUT NOOOO. It's the same thing. Taking the practice twice is not a practice at all. Don't waste your money. There are other TEASv APPS that once you bought it, it stays there. ATI testing wouldn't refund because it said on the agreement. ATI testing would love you to fail because that's how they make money.
It's not even a practice test. It's an evaluation test on how much you know.
For student nurses that are failing to ATI testing multiple times, they are benefiting on your failing.
You have been warned!!!!

I found the test to be pretty helpful. There are 2 forms A and B, form A is different from form B. Did you buy the exact same form twice?? I don't understand why you don't see it as a practice test.

That is what the TEAS test is. It has virtually nothing to do with nursing. It is essentially an evaluation of how much you know, how well you are able to retain and apply basic concepts that you should have learned in high school.
I bought the TEAS bundle package. It was around $100 and included the book and both online practice tests. I do feel the online tests are worth taking because they familiarize you with the format. That is how you will take your TEAS test: on the computer with that exact same format. I scored a 92% on the TEAS and felt that the bundle package did an excellent job in preparing me for the test.
