The ATI TEAS 7 has 170 questions in total, split across four sections, with a 209-minute time limit. Here is exactly how that breaks down — and which part of the count actually affects your score.
The ATI TEAS 7 contains 170 questions and gives you 209 minutes (about 3 hours and 29 minutes). Of those 170, 150 are scored and 20 are unscored pretest items that ATI uses to trial new questions. You cannot tell which 20 are unscored, so answer every question as if it counts.
The 170 questions are divided across four sections, each separately timed:
Science is both the longest section and the one applicants most often find hardest, so it is usually worth the largest share of your study time.
There is no single national passing score. Each nursing program sets its own cut-off, and competitive programs expect more. Your overall score is reported as a percentage, and programs often also look at the proficiency level (for example, Proficient or Advanced). Confirm the exact number your program wants before you build a study plan around a target.

1. Evaluate: 24 - 6 × (8 - 5) + 2
Answer: C. Using order of operations: 8 - 5 = 3, then 6 × 3 = 18, then 24 - 18 + 2 = 8.
2. What is the primary function of red blood cells?
Answer: A. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which binds and transports oxygen to tissues. Fighting infection and producing antibodies are roles of white blood cells; clotting involves platelets.
3. Read the passage: "Regular physical activity strengthens the heart, improves circulation, and helps the body regulate blood sugar. Even a brisk daily walk can lower the risk of several chronic diseases." Which statement best expresses the main idea?
Answer: A. The passage lists several benefits of physical activity, so the main idea is that it provides broad health benefits. The other choices overstate, contradict, or are unsupported by the text.
4. Choose the sentence with correct subject-verb agreement.
Answer: C. The subject is 'list' (singular); 'of supplies' is a prepositional phrase that does not change the verb. The singular verb 'is' agrees with 'list.'
