TEAS score checker for California nursing programs
Enter your ATI TEAS score to see how it lines up with the minimum each California RN program publishes. Many programs set a minimum score to apply; meeting it makes you eligible to be considered, and doesn’t tell you whether you’ll be admitted. Each row shows the school’s own wording, a link to the page we used, and the date we checked it.
We compare your score only when the school publishes a single overall TEAS percentage as a number. When a school words its minimum another way (a proficiency level, a range, or a minimum shared with another exam), we show its wording and don’t compare. “Not published by the school” means we couldn’t find a minimum on the school’s public pages. Section minimums, where published, are listed but not checked.
Check with the program before you apply. Minimums change between cycles, and programs differ on which TEAS version they accept, how many attempts count, and how recent a score must be. Many programs also use the TEAS score in their point system or ranking, which this tool doesn’t cover; see the point system calculators.
