Practice quizzes are available online as well. Information about the exam can be found here: https://www.atitesting.com/teas/teas-exam.
2. Approximately 2 months before the application deadline:
   Schedule and take the TEAS test. Testing Centers and times may be limited in the Central Texas area. UMHB is not a testing site.

Per the testing company, the spacing in between tests must be at least 30 days. Results are good for one calendar year.

   2. Pre-requisite GPA – must be 3.0 or higher
   3. TEAS scores – benchmarks must be met, all on the same test
   4. All pre-requisite coursework and a mandatory 46 hours of specific courses which will count toward the BSN degree completed by the end of the current semester (spring admission) or by the end of the summer (fall admission).
