I think a 30-day period is required at my school, your's may be different

The ATI book was much more difficult that the actual TEAS test, I skimmed GED books for my own peace of mind...don't worry, it's not difficult.

The official ATI teas test manual sample questions were insanely difficult and nothing like the actual test test, very basic math and I don't recall any geometry. I unhappily paid twenty bucks I think to take two practice teas tests from ati, they were much easier than the manual depictions but I scored borderline which made me even more nervous! The official test was much easier than the online test, so please don't let it get you down. It had been nearly 35 years since I had been in school and I still tested in the mid 80's. Save all your stress for your program, LOL

I can't recall if the calculator was available in the accessories tab of the computer, but it really wasn't needed. I think I was given a pencil and sheet of paper though. Please don't worry, I know the questions are different from test to test, but it is very basic math. There were a few problems that gave a few checkbook debits and credits, and you just give the balance. The time allowed for each section is very ample to answer the questions. The minute-and-a-half rule of thumb is just to help you if you get stumped and insure you don't waste a lot of time on one question. You can skip a question and go back, but I chose not to because I thought I would screw up the test, which was pure superstition on my part. If you are in a room with other people taking the test and you hear a lot of fast clicking, don't be dismayed, because no one is usually working on the same section. For me, the math was last part of the test and I was so tired at that point I think I was actually dozing off, which caused me to run out of time. I didn't even notice the time remaining box until the last section of the test, but it was not a frenzied type of test, not the monster that I had envisioned. I heard horror stories of people flunking and over-studied myself into near hysteria. Believe me, I am no brain trust, but it was so much easier than I had imagined. Please let us know how you do. Soon you will look back and laugh at your needless fears. Wish I could remember more details but please post if you have any other questions.

The practice questions in the suggested ATI study guide were a million times more difficult than the actual Teas test. It's a very do-able test, the advice given to me was not to spend more than a minute-and-a-half on each question. There will be a time-remaining cue at the top of the screen which is very helpful.
