Additional TEAS Information

The TEAS is a 170 question advanced reading, math, language and science test which is required for entry into the Practical Nursing Programs at Pinellas Technical Education Centers. It is not a nursing test – you do not have to be a nurse to answer the questions – but the questions are nursing related, i.e. the knowledge needed to answer the questions can be transferred over to a nursing related circumstance. You must have scored at least 11.0 on the level A of the TABE in all three areas (math, reading and language) to be eligible to take the TEAS test. The content areas of the test include: reading, math, science and English language usage. The test will take approximately 3.5 hours to complete.

You must score at least 58% on the TEAS version V (or 70%on the version IV) test to be considered eligible for application to the Practical Nursing program. The TEAS may be taken only two times in a year. There is a required 30 day waiting period before retaking the TEAS a second time.
