TEAS 7 Time Per Question (With Pace Checker)
The TEAS gives you about 73 seconds per question in Reading, 90 in Math, 72 in Science and 60 in English. English is the tightest section. Check your own pace below while you take a practice test.
| Section | Questions | Time | Per question | Checkpoint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reading | 45 | 55 min | 73 s | 11 questions every 14 min |
| Math | 38 | 57 min | 90 s | 10 questions every 14 min |
| Science | 50 | 60 min | 72 s | 12 questions every 15 min |
| English and Language Usage | 37 | 37 min | 60 s | 9 questions every 9 min |
Question counts include the unscored pretest items: you can't tell them apart, so every question gets the same time.
How to use the checkpoints
Write the four checkpoints on your scratch paper before each section. At each one, look at the clock: if you are more than two minutes behind, flag the slow question, pick your best answer and move on. Practice it in the full-length practice test, then put your result in the TEAS score calculator.
