ATI TEAS study plan

ATI TEAS · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Science & Mathematics

  • Diagram and label the heart's chambers, valves, and major vessels, then trace one continuous path of blood flow through the pulmonary and systemic circuits

  • Distinguish ventilation, diffusion, and perfusion, and explain where each occurs in the respiratory system

  • Classify the four tissue types and the three joint classes, giving one location example for each

  • Convert fluently among fractions, decimals, and percents, and order a mixed list of ten values from least to greatest

  • Set up and solve proportions for scale-drawing and dosage-style word problems, showing the unit labels at every step

Your checkpoint

Completed a 40-question Science + Math diagnostic, then wrote an error log giving the topic, the cause of each miss, and the specific rule to relearn

Week 2

Science & Mathematics

  • Sequence the path of food through the digestive tract and name the enzyme or secretion acting at each stop

  • Trace filtrate through the nephron and identify the sites of water, glucose, and ion reabsorption

  • Match each major endocrine gland to its hormone and one target effect on the body

  • Contrast the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions across four body functions (heart rate, digestion, pupil size, airway diameter)

  • Perform multistep metric conversions and metric-to-household conversions, then check each answer for a plausible magnitude

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn flow map covering the digestive, renal, and endocrine pathways, self-quizzed 24 hours later with at least 85% recall

Week 3

Science & Mathematics

  • Label the organelles of plant and animal cells and state one function for each

  • Complete a monohybrid cross with a Punnett square and report both genotype and phenotype ratios

  • Balance simple chemical equations and distinguish ionic from covalent bonding with two examples of each

  • Apply Newton's laws and Ohm's law to one-step and two-step word problems

  • Solve single-variable linear equations and evaluate algebraic expressions by substitution

Your checkpoint

Scored at least 80% on a mixed 25-question quiz covering cells, genetics, chemistry, and algebra, with every miss rewritten correctly in full

Week 4

Mathematics & Reading

  • Interpret tables, bar graphs, line graphs, and circle graphs to answer questions about trends, comparisons, and totals

  • Compute mean, median, mode, and range for data sets, and explain which measure a skewed data set distorts

  • Calculate perimeter, area, volume, and surface area for standard two- and three-dimensional shapes

  • Extract the main idea plus two supporting details from three practice passages, in writing and within a time limit

  • Infer the meaning of unfamiliar words from sentence and paragraph context clues

Your checkpoint

Completed a timed 15-question math set in 20 minutes with at least 75% accuracy, plus written main-idea statements for three reading passages

Week 5

Reading & Science

  • Identify an author's purpose, tone, and point of view, and flag loaded language that signals bias

  • Break an argument into claim, evidence, and unstated assumption, then judge whether the evidence actually supports the claim

  • Define independent and dependent variables, controls, and constants for a described experiment

  • Evaluate whether a stated conclusion follows from the data presented, citing the specific evidence

  • Compare two passages on the same topic and state where they agree and where they conflict

Your checkpoint

Wrote a one-page critique of a sample experiment and a paired-passage comparison, correctly naming the claim, the evidence, and every flaw identified

Week 6

English and Language Usage

  • Identify and repair sentence fragments, run-ons, and comma splices in a multi-paragraph passage

  • Apply comma, semicolon, colon, apostrophe, and quotation-mark rules, justifying each mark added

  • Enforce subject-verb and pronoun-antecedent agreement, including in interrupting phrases

  • Distinguish commonly confused word pairs (affect/effect, their/there/they're, then/than) in context

  • Place modifiers so each sentence has only one possible meaning

Your checkpoint

Edited a 30-item practice passage to zero errors and scored at least 80% on a 25-question grammar and punctuation check

Week 7

English and Language Usage & Reading

  • Revise wordy or vague sentences for conciseness, precision, and consistent formal tone

  • Apply common spelling rules and correct the twenty most frequently misspelled academic words

  • Adjust register to match a stated audience and purpose across three short writing samples

  • Complete two timed reading passages in 16 minutes each with at least 80% accuracy

  • Answer vocabulary-in-context items by substituting each option back into the original sentence

Your checkpoint

Finished a full timed Reading + English & Language Usage practice section with a per-question-type accuracy breakdown showing at least 80% in each type

Week 8

Reading & Mathematics & Science & English and Language Usage

  • Take two full-length timed practice tests under test-day conditions: no notes, no pauses, one sitting

  • Sort every missed question from the error log by domain and by cause (content gap, misread, or pacing)

  • Re-drill the top three weakest topics per domain until each is answered correctly twice in a row

  • Build a one-page test-day checklist covering timing per section, calculator use, and the two-pass strategy for flagged items

  • Recite the core formulas, unit conversions, and anatomy relationships from memory in a 10-minute blank-page dump

Your checkpoint

A final full-length score report with a per-domain breakdown, a one-page review sheet, and a written target score comparison showing the gain from week 1

Milestones

Week 2: Recite the digestive, renal, and endocrine flow maps from memory at 85% or better without notes

Week 4: Score at least 75% on a timed 15-question math set and write accurate main-idea statements for 4 of 5 reading passages

Week 6: Score at least 80% on a 25-question grammar and punctuation check and fully repair a 30-item editing passage

Week 8: Full-length practice test at or above target score, with no domain below 70% and per-domain breakdown documented
