The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS)

The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) is a nationally recognized assessment tool used as part of the admissions and selection process at CGTC for the Competitive Health Science Program. The TEAS is multiple-choice assessment measuring basic academic preparedness in reading, math, science, English and language usage. The objectives assessed in the test are those that nursing and allied health educators deem most relevant for measuring entry level skills and abilities of program applicants. The test not only predicts the performance of incoming candidates, it also helps educators gain advance knowledge of the strengths and areas needing development of those that are accepted into the program.

Applicants are encouraged to complete BIOL 2113 (Anatomy and Physiology) prior to the examination. Candidates’ highest score will be used for the rank order calculation. Exam scores are valid until a new version is in place. Each individual must purchase his or her own testing reservation. The exam is offered at CGTC campuses. A minimum score of 65 is required for the Associate of Science in Nursing program. Other programs requiring the TEAS for competitive selection do not have a minimum score requirement.
