We make NurseSavvy, so this is our comparison, with sources. Each company name links to its own page; every course checked October 29, 2026. “Not advertised” means we could not find it on that company’s pages when we checked. Plans and offers change, so check before you buy.
A practice test only tells you where you stand. A course earns its price by fixing what the test found.

When we checked October 29, 2026, NurseSavvy was the only course in the chart with free, unlimited full-length practice tests before you pay anything, so you can see your weak sections first and decide whether you need a course at all. TEAS Prep then adds what the test cannot:
- The whole TEAS 7 blueprint as lessons, each topic with a cheat sheet and practice. See the complete TEAS blueprint.
- 2,752 TEAS questions with explanations, in multiple choice, multiple select, fill-in-the-blank, and ordered response.
- 3,869 speed-learning cards: miss a question, read a short card on that exact fact, then answer it again in the same session.
- Timed section tests for Reading, Math, Science, and English, on the official section clocks.
- A head start on what comes next. Your first 3 months of nursing school are free, for fundamentals, pharmacology, and dosage calculation. Applying to a HESI school too? Both exams are $39 for both.
TEAS Prep is $29 once, no subscription, with 12 months of access, so a retake or a late application date costs nothing extra. How the pieces connect is in how NurseSavvy TEAS prep works.
Where each of the others fits
- ATI: the only official questions. Its $29.99 practice test is 150 questions with two attempts on the same form; buy it once, near the end, for a format check.
- Mometrix: the most videos and 13 full-length tests, at the highest price here ($79.99 a month).
- Smart Edition: video explanations for every question and 8 timed tests.
- NurseHub: live sessions and a refund-and-retake guarantee; the same plan covers the HESI.
- Archer Review and Pocket Prep: low monthly prices for a question bank, with less teaching.
If you are not sure a course is needed at all, the free options are compared in the best free TEAS prep, and the job each kind of tool does is in the best TEAS study tools.
Try a TEAS math problem
The NurseSavvy math coach walks one percent problem step by step, the way the lessons do:
Before you buy any course
- Take a free full-length TEAS practice test.
- Rank the four sections by how far each is from your target. Set the target from your programs first.
- Buy only what fixes the gap: teaching and new questions for a weak section, or ATI's official test for a final format check.
Prices for every option, free ones included, are in the cheapest TEAS prep.
When ATI is worth adding
One honest caveat: only ATI writes official TEAS questions, and no third-party score, ours included, is an official ATI score. If you want official calibration in the final weeks, an ATI practice test is the one purchase that adds something no other course can.

Common questions
What is the best TEAS prep course?
For most students, NurseSavvy TEAS Prep ($29 once, no subscription): every TEAS topic as lessons, practice questions with explanations, speed-learning cards, and timed section tests, and its full-length practice tests are free and unlimited before you pay. Add one ATI practice test near the end for an official format check.
Is the ATI TEAS prep package worth it?
ATI writes the only official TEAS questions. A single 150-question online practice test is $29.99 with two attempts on the same form; packages run $69 to $169, one-time, with no refunds (checked October 29, 2026). One official test near the end is the most useful part.
Which TEAS course has the most practice tests?
Of the courses we checked, Mometrix lists 13 full-length tests at $79.99 a month and Smart Edition 8. NurseSavvy full-length tests are unlimited and free.
How long do I need a TEAS course?
Most students prep for four to eight weeks, so plan on one or two months of a monthly course. A 3-month plan is cheaper if your test is more than six weeks away.
