ATI TEAS Science Practice Test gives you a large set of four-choice science questions in a fast “answer, then check” format for 2026 prep. Use it to drill anatomy & physiology basics, biology, chemistry, scientific reasoning, and data interpretation, then open “Show Answer” to confirm the rule and learn the pattern behind the distractors. It’s built for repeated passes so weak concepts show up quickly and improve with retakes.
FAQ
What’s the best way to practice TEAS science questions?
Work in short, timed bursts (10–20 questions), then immediately review explanations for every miss. For science, focus on why the right choice is correct (function, mechanism, or relationship) and write a one-line “rule” you can reuse on a new question later.
Can I use a TEAS science practice test PDF instead of online questions?
A PDF can help with convenience, but you still need an active review loop. If you use a printable set, add structure: mark uncertainty, check answers right away, and redo only the missed concepts after a short break so you’re practicing recall—not just recognition.
How many science questions are on the TEAS?
The science section is a fixed portion of the overall exam, and it’s large enough that you’ll see multiple angles on the same core topics. Train as if the next question will rephrase the same concept—especially A&P processes, basic chemistry, and interpreting tables/graphs.
What science topics should I expect on the TEAS?
Expect a heavy tilt toward anatomy & physiology (systems, homeostasis, basic function), plus biology fundamentals, introductory chemistry, and scientific reasoning. The skill that sneaks up on people is reading information from charts or short passages and applying a simple rule correctly.
Are TEAS practice tests harder than the real exam?
Some sets feel harder because they pack in trickier distractors or mix topics aggressively. That’s not a problem if you use it correctly: treat misses as a map of which concepts you can’t explain in plain language yet, then retest until you can answer the same idea in new wording.
