FOR RN PROGRAM ONLY: Provisional applicants will be given the ATI Diagnostic Assessment Tool (TEAS – Test of Essential
Academic Skills – Math, English, Reading and Science). Passing score is 67%. The student’s composite score will be added to the admission criteria ranking for the final Admission Criteria score.
Information and directions for the above requirements will be included in the provisional acceptance letter.


The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) is an assessment tool administered to RN Program applicants. It is an assessment of Math, English, Reading and
Science knowledge and requires a cumulative passing score of 67%.

Effective with the Mt San Jacinto College nursing program’s new selection criteria, this test will be given to the applicants who are notified of provisional acceptance based upon their points in the Multi Selection Criteria Process. The results of the
TEAS test will be added to the accumulated points for final review for program selection.

Students who do not achieve 67% on the first testing will be invited to a success strategies session and then be eligible to retake the Teas. MSJC does not accept a passing score beyond two (2) attempts. For prospective students, this policy means if you have taken the TEAS more that two times, with a failing score (less than
67%), you are ineligible for the Mt. San Jacinto Nursing Program.

Students who have previously taken the TEAS test and have successfully passed should request their scores to be electronically transmitted to Mt. San Jacinto
College by contacting www.atitesting.com.
