TEAS® prep options compared
The best TEAS® prep depends on how much time you have and what you already know. Full courses and study guides cover everything. Focused tools like Examend find the specific mistakes you make and fix those, which suits people short on time or retaking.
Official ATI materials
ATI, which makes the TEAS®, sells a study manual and online practice assessments. Best for: seeing questions in the official style and a final check before test day.
Study guide books
Several publishers sell TEAS® study guides with content review and practice tests. Best for: people who like working from paper and want everything in one place. Make sure it covers version 7.
Subscription courses
Online courses with videos, question banks and full-length practice tests, usually billed monthly. Best for: people with several weeks who want a complete, structured review.
Tutoring and college workshops
Many community colleges run TEAS® workshops, and private tutors are available. Best for: people who want a person to explain things and keep them on schedule.
Examend
Examend starts with a free Check that shows which traps you fall for and why each wrong answer tempted you. You get a plan to your test date and a free first study day. Paid packs are 7 short study days on Chemistry and Reasoning, Math, or A&P and Biology, paid once with no subscription and a 14-day refund. Every question is original and checked against free OpenStax textbooks.
Best for: people short on time, people retaking who want to know what went wrong, and anyone who wants to target Science or Math. It doesn't cover Reading or English, so pair it with another resource for those.
How to choose
- Several weeks and starting from scratch: a full course or study guide, plus free checks to track your weak spots.
- Two weeks or less: a diagnostic first, then targeted practice on what you miss.
- Retaking: find out why you missed questions last time before buying more content.
- Tight budget: free checks, OpenStax textbooks and your library's prep books go a long way.
