This is your decision. It is important to know, the most recent score is used in the admission evaluation.

Can I take the ATI TEAS at another location?
Yes, upload your score report to your NursingCAS appliciation in the Documents section. NOTE: the percentile rank will be different depending on the program type assigned to that test location i.e. LPN, ADN, or BSN. Once your ATI TEAS score sheet has been received we will then convert your percentile rank to the corresponding BSN percentile rank for your "Adjusted Individual Total Score".

If you do not pass you may retake the test in 3 months but there is no guarantee there will be an open seat in the cohort.
