Hello all! I'm planning to take my TEAS sometime within this upcoming semester, as its my last semester in college. I looked up the ati website and registration for the TEAS, but it looks like they do not offer TEAS at many locations close to the california bay area where I live. There's also the PSI computer version, but would that be the only option besides traveling to sacramento or somewhere that has an official testing center for the written test? Also when signing up for the PSI and registration for an ATI account, it asks for my institution(i'm assuming current school) which is not listed in the options.. so I just put down CSU East Bay which is the closest college campus to where I live. Let me know if yall have any experience with the same thing! Thanks so much!!

I know my school does things really different, but this is how I eventually registered to take my TEAS.
I had to apply to my school's nursing program first. Once all my paperwork was processed, I was emailed by my school's testing center and given a link to register for both my TEAS and critical thinking exams. Once I selected a date, the tests to be taken, and paid for everything I was good to go. I was emailed a confirmation and took my tests on June 16th.
Have you spoken to your advisor or your school's testing center? Perhaps your school also has a specific way of having students take the TEAS. My school does it that way, because there are only so many testing spots available and they want to ensure that the school's nursing applicants are the ones reserving those spots.
Thank you so much! I will be speaking with an advisor tomorrow, so hopefully that goes well.
