ATI TEAS Testing
Starting Spring 2023 application cycle ARC Nursing Program will accept only TEAS Test Version 7. ARC is not currently offering the TEAS onsite testing. Please check the ATI website for other testing sites.
Assessment Testing Required for Nursing Program
Prior to admission, all students must pass a diagnostic readiness/assessment test (basic math, English, reading, language usage, and science) in addition to meeting the prerequisites and eligibility requirements. ARC utilizes the Test of Essential Academic Skills developed by Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI).
The passing standard and parameters for implementation of assessment testing have been developed by the California Community College Chancellor's office. The assessment test has been demonstrated to have positive correlation with success in nursing programs.
Assessment Testing TEAS is scheduled through Assessment Technologies Incorporated (ATI). Please check the ATI website for testing sites.
