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.

Frequently asked questions

How much time do you get per question on the TEAS?
On average about 73 seconds in Reading, 90 seconds in Math, 72 seconds in Science, 60 seconds in English and Language Usage. The whole test is 170 questions in 209 minutes.
Does each TEAS section have its own timer?
Yes. The four sections are timed separately and always come in the same order; once a section is closed you can't go back to it. There is a 10-minute break after Math that does not count toward your time.
What happens if I run out of time?
Questions you leave unanswered count as wrong. Since there is no penalty for guessing, answer every question before the section clock ends.
