⭐ What Houston Students Say

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

"I was applying to UH's BSN program and needed at least a 72% composite. My diagnostic was a 54%. After 6 weeks with my tutor, I scored a 79% on test day. The Science section coaching alone was worth every penny β€” my tutor broke A&P down into systems I could actually memorize."

"Working full-time at Memorial Hermann and studying felt impossible. My tutor scheduled sessions around my 12-hour shifts and gave me a realistic 4-week plan. I passed with a 68% composite β€” enough for San Jacinto's ADN program. Starting clinicals this January."

Houston TEAS 7 Frequently Asked Questions

The TEAS 7 is offered at most Houston-area nursing schools' testing centers and at ATI-authorized proctoring sites. Many schools (including HCU and University of Houston) allow you to take the exam on their campus. You can also take a remotely proctored version via ATI's online platform from home.
The University of Houston's nursing program is highly competitive. Successful applicants typically score in the 70th percentile or higher on the TEAS 7 composite. We recommend targeting a composite score of 75%+ to be competitive. Always confirm the current year's cutoff directly with the UH admissions office.
Most students need 4 to 8 weeks of consistent preparation. With personalized tutoring that targets your specific weak areas, many students achieve their goal score in 4 to 6 weeks. If you're already strong in Science (A&P), your timeline can be shorter.
Houston Community College (HCC Coleman College for Health Sciences) requires the HESI A2 β€” not the TEAS 7. If HCC is your target school, check out our Houston HESI A2 prep page β†’ instead. If you're applying to both HCC and a TEAS-required program, we can prepare you for both exams simultaneously.
