Practice Reading with a tutor, step by step
Try one below. Pick an answer and check it, or press “Walk me through it” and Nora, the TEAS Reading tutor, asks two or three small questions that build to the answer and names the rule to remember. The set covers main idea and inference, author purpose and tone, and tables and charts. It is also on its own page as the TEAS Reading Coach.

Walking Meetings
Many offices have started holding walking meetings. Instead of sitting around a table, two or three coworkers talk while they walk a loop outside or down a long hallway. Supporters say the change brings several benefits. Workers get a few extra minutes of movement in a day that is often spent at a desk. Some people report that ideas come more easily when they are moving. Walking side by side can also make a hard conversation feel less tense than sitting face to face. Walking meetings do not work for every task, such as reviewing a spreadsheet, but for short discussions they offer a simple way to make the workday healthier and more productive.

- 1Read the question stem before returning to the passage so you know what evidence you need.
- 2Separate what the passage states from what is merely plausible outside the passage.
- 3Practice tables, directions and paired information—not only long prose passages.

Formats and limitations
The current NurseSavvy TEAS bank uses multiple choice, multiple select, fill-in-the-blank, and ordered-response items. It does not currently simulate ATI hot-spot items. NurseSavvy is independent of ATI; its questions are original practice material, and its diagnostic is not an official ATI score or an admission guarantee. What a practice score can and cannot tell you is in what a good TEAS score is.
Start with a full test, then drill Reading
If you do not yet know whether Reading is your weakest section, take a free full-length practice test for a four-section baseline. If Reading is already your priority, a timed Reading section test (Premium) checks it on its own clock. Then open Reading lessons and topic practice for the gaps it exposes. To fit it into a schedule, use the six-week TEAS study plan.
