Prepare for the Exam

TEAS and PN Predictor exams are conducted using ATI Testing.  Students who intend to take one of these tests must create a profile in ATI in order to test.  They will also find practice tests at this website.  This profile will be used extensively in the Nursing Program.

LCCC has study materials and tutoring available for both exams. Students can access study materials and practice exams on the Ludden Library's website at the Mometrix website. Students can also contact the Learning Commons to set up tutoring for the TEAS exam.
