Are the practice tests from the ATI website worth the money? Should I take them to help prepare for the real thing?

I think it's worth it. After you take it, it tells you what areas to focus on and study in the study guide. I took it a week prior to my test and 1 day before my test. (you get a code to use the same test twice)

I would say yes and no.
The practice tests were in no way helpful in what I needed to study for the TEAS. I found the practice test to have things on it that weren't even covered in my ATI study guide. I scored 20% higher on my actual TEAS than what I scored on those practice exams... Also the $39 you have to pay for the test is outrageous!
On the other hand, if you want to see the format and how the test is set up before test day- the practice exam does help with that.
