How much does the TEAS cost? The exam fee, school prices and the add-ons
Written and reviewed by Brittany Scott, BSN, RN, CCM · 3 min read · Updated November 2026
Short answer
As of November 2026, ATI lists the TEAS at $120 plus sales tax when you test remotely with ATI or through PSI, in person or online. Exams run by a school are priced by that school, and the two school examples below come to $95 and $135. Every retake is a new registration at full price.
The ATI price and what it covers
ATI's help center lists two options at the same price: TEAS at ATI, which is remote and proctored by ATI, and TEAS at PSI, which you take at a PSI testing center or online through PSI. Each is $120 plus applicable sales tax.
That fee covers one exam attempt, your score report, and one official transcript credit. For both options you choose the school that receives your transcript after the exam, so you do not need to know the school when you register.
Is it cheaper in person at a school?
Often, but not always. ATI says exams through a school are priced by the school, and a school may add its own proctoring or seat fee to ATI's charge. Waukesha County Technical College in Wisconsin lists $95 on campus, made up of a $70 exam fee and a $25 seat fee, against $120 to test remotely.
Kapi'olani Community College in Hawaii charges a $65 proctoring fee in cash plus a $70 ATI fee paid by card on test day, for $135 in total. That is more than the $120 remote price, so compare the full amount, not just the ATI line.
Check that your program accepts the option you pick before you pay, since each program sets its own rules. A TEAS taken through ATI or PSI reaches a school only as a transcript sent to it.
The costs people forget
Rescheduling an exam booked on atitesting.com costs $15 and has to be done at least 48 hours before the exam. You cannot cancel, and ATI only refunds a registration for a documented emergency such as a medical emergency.
Extra transcripts are $29.99 each. If you are applying to three programs and your fee includes one transcript credit, budget for two more. School-proctored results go to that school automatically, but other programs still need a transcript.
Retakes are not discounted. ATI says each attempt is a new registration at full price, and while ATI does not cap your attempts, many schools do, so confirm your school's limit before you register.
Is there a TEAS fee waiver?
ATI's published pricing does not list a general fee waiver. The only reduced price it mentions is a discounted registration that active-duty military members, spouses and dependents can request.
If cost is a barrier, ask your nursing program or college. Some schools set a lower campus price, and a program is the only party that can tell you whether it covers or reduces its own testing fees.

Common questions
How much is the TEAS test online?
As of November 2026, ATI lists TEAS at ATI (remote, proctored by ATI) and PSI's online option at $120 plus sales tax. A remote TEAS proctored by your school is priced by the school.
How much does it cost to retake the TEAS?
The same as the first attempt. ATI treats each attempt as a new registration at full price, so a retake through ATI or PSI is another $120 plus tax.

Only for a documented emergency such as a medical emergency, according to ATI. You cannot cancel, but you can reschedule for $15 at least 48 hours before an exam booked on atitesting.com.
