Why it matters in 2026
The career signal.
TEAS is the single highest-volume nursing-admission exam in the US. Schools often weight TEAS heavily in admission decisions, so a single attempt can be the difference between getting in and reapplying.
Sample question
What a ATI TEAS question looks like.
Solve the inequality: -4x - 3 < 17
See the answer & explanation
Correct: B. x > -5
Why: Add 3 to both sides: -4x - 3 + 3 < 17 + 3, giving -4x < 20. Divide both sides by -4 and flip the inequality sign (because dividing by a negative number reverses the direction): x > 20/(-4), so x > -5.
