How many times can you take the teas

At my school, you can take it once a semester. But only 3 times. However, if you register through ATI I've *heard* it's 3 times a year. Not entirely sure. I really think it depends on your school. Some schools will only allow you to take it at their school- so you'll be limited to the amount of times they let you take it.

At my school I think its once maybe twice. This is required for either the traditional BSN and the Accelerated BSN. I am looking at the traditional as more viable because of the courses I need to take. But how many times you can take it depends on your school.

It depends on your school, honestly. I know its confusing.. but it really does. You may be at a school where they will only take scores from their test center. At which case.. though technically you can take it at other schools, they wont accept your outside score. Call and ask.

Every time you take the TEAS, regardless of where you take it, it counts. Just look at your TEAS results. It states how many times you have taken the test in total. So if you take it somewhere else, it will say that you have taken the test twice.

I don't know if your school will only let you retake it once a year at their school but might accept the score from another school. That's a specific question that should be directed at your nursing program. Check with them before you re-take it. You don't want to spend the money if they won't accept it.

It depends on the school. At my school, you can only take it twice in one year. If you take it the third time, then you have to wait exactly a year from the first time you took the TEAS.
