Robeson Community College offers FREE ATI TEAS test preparation materials at

http://guides.robeson.edu/admissions.

Students may want to consider purchasing the following items to assist with preparing for the

TEAS® Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) at http://www.atitesting.com.

The ATI TEAS® Study Manual is the only study manual authored and endorsed by the creators of

TEAS®. This is a powerful tool for TEAS® success and features a review of key concepts covering

Reading, Mathematics, Science, English and sample questions with accompanying explanations and

study/test-taking strategies.

The ATI TEAS Online Practice Assessment includes one set of 150 questions. It is designed to be

reflective of the TEAS® in both content and format. Items are proportionally representative of the

live assessment in each of the four content areas: Math, Science, Reading and English/Language

Usage.

The ATI TEAS® Study Manual and the ATI TEAS® Online Practice Assessment can be found on

the web at http://www.atitesting.com. The cost of the TEAS® Study Manual is $50.00 and the

TEAS® online Practice Assessment is $46.00. If purchased as a bundle, both resources are $115.00.

Please note RCC will accept only scores for ATI TEAS®, which is the latest version of the

assessment. Our Allied Health Admission criteria are not based on previous versions such as TEAS

3.0 or TEAS 4 and, therefore, will not be accepted.

Please come by and speak with a specialist in the Admissions Office in Bldg. 13, if you have

questions regarding ATI TEAS®. You may call our office at (910) 272-3342 and speak with a staff

member.

RCC 2017-2018 Testing Schedule for ATI TEAS®

You may purchase study and practice materials from this site as well.

3. Note and remember the TEAS® username and password created when you set up your student

account with ATI. This username and password will be required in order to take the TEAS

online with Robeson Community College.

4. Schedule a testing date with the Admissions Office. Please adhere to the application

deadlines. This is your responsibility, not the Admissions Office.

Please note, ATI TEAS® scores from other institutions are accepted only, if test

Official scores mailed from another institution will be accepted. Faxed copies are not

accepted. HOBET/Net scores are no longer accepted.

5. Additional Reminders:

administration of the TEAS V® or ATI TEAS.
