PVAMU TEAS Remediation Policy
If you need to retake the TEAS exam, visit www.pvamu.edu/teas and review the “ATI TEAS – Study Materials”. Additionally, you can contact the Pre-Nursing office at (936) 261-2920 for more remediation options. Additionally, various test preparation/remediation resources are also available through our institution. Testers can contact the Pre-Nursing department at (936) 261-2920 or the University Tutoring Center at (936) 261-1561 to inquire about tutoring and other test prep information.
PVAMU TEAS Retest Policy
I acknowledge that there is no waiting period between first-time testing and retesting for the PVAMU Nursing program; however, if I am planning to send my TEAS exam scores to multiple institution, it is my responsibility to check and verify the TEAS exam policies for those institutions to see if they have a waiting period and follow them accordingly. I also acknowledge that if a retest is necessary, I should pursue tutoring and/or remediation prior to retaking the TEAS exam. Additionally, I must review my initial test scores to identify which sections require retesting, and I am required to retake all necessary sections during the retest. Should I choose not to pursue tutoring or remediation, I release the College of Nursing, the Office of Pre-Nursing, the P.A.S.S. Center, the University Tutoring Center, the Office of Testing Services, as well as the advisors from both the College of Nursing and the Pre-Nursing Office, and Prairie View A&M University from any liability resulting from taking the exam without such preparation. I also recognize the increased likelihood of not achieving the minimum required scores on my second attempt. I understand that failing to meet the minimum passing scores on the TEAS exam after two attempts (regardless of where I take the exam) will disqualify me from admission to the Generic Nursing Program at Prairie View A&M University and, if I am a current student, will lead to a Major Change from Pre-Nursing. Additionally, I am aware that a Change of Major Hold will be placed on my student account, which can only be lifted after consulting with a Pre-Nursing Advisor.
Test Integrity
Testers are required to adhere to all test integrity standards from their test sponsor as well as our test center. To maintain the integrity of our exams, certain items are not permitted or prohibited during testing. Testers should review the
Testing Services – Test Integrity policy to understand which items are not allowed in the testing lab and to familiarize themselves with our guidelines. All individuals using our center to take exams (whether in-person, remote, online) agree to comply with our test integrity policy.
Testing Violations Policy
Violations of this policy will result in invalidated exam scores, and the tester may be prohibited from using the Office of Testing Services for a specified duration. Testing Services will report any violations to the Office of Student Conduct and the College of Nursing at Prairie View A&M University.
Testing Irregularity Policy
When taking the TEAS exam in person at Prairie View A&M University test site or at a PSI test site, it is my responsibility to report any issues to the test proctors during the exam or before leaving the facility.
For online testing, I must call 1 (800) 667-7531 about any issues that arise on the same day I take the exam, ideally immediately after completing the virtual session.
