Length of time TEAS Test scores valid...

[andreasmom02]

I'm an LPN interested in getting my RN BSN in a few years through a local four year University. I'm going to start taking pre-req classes towards my RN BSN this summer. I've been thinking about taking the TEAS test just to kind of get it out of the way. I was just wondering if anyone knew how many months/years these scores are good for? I may not apply to the college I'm interested in for a couple of years still...

Until ATI comes out with the TEAS VI and schools start to require that test instead of the TEAS V

OK Thanks so much... Any idea of when they are changing it?

It depends on the school. I have seen schools where TEAS score is valid for only 1 year and others up to 5 years.

umbdude is correct -- it will depend on the program.. my school will honor the results for 2 years then it would have to be retaken.
