However, ATI provides an official four-function calculator for all test-takers, ensuring fairness and standardized conditions. This policy applies to both online (remote-proctored or at-institution) and in-person formats of the TEAS Version 7, the current exam as of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/help.atitesting.com\/do-i-need-to-bring-a-calculator\/\">online TEAS test<\/a><\/strong>, a built-in drop-down calculator appears on-screen during the Mathematics section (and can often be accessed as needed). It performs basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division only no advanced functions like square roots or graphing. Familiarize yourself with this exact on-screen calculator by taking ATI&#8217;s free practice tests, as it may feel different from phone or handheld versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re taking the rare <strong>paper-pencil TEAS<\/strong>, the proctor will supply a physical four-function calculator. Personal devices, including phone calculators, smartwatches, or scientific calculators, are strictly prohibited and could result in disqualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why this rule? The TEAS Math section (38 questions, 57 minutes) tests nursing-ready skills like fractions, percentages, conversions, and algebra problems designed for quick mental math or basic tools. Relying on the provided calculator prevents cheating and levels the playing field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TEAS calculator tips for success<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Practice with ATI&#8217;s official tools to master the interface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus prep on core math without over-relying on advanced calculation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High scorers often finish Math strong by knowing when (and when not) to use the calculator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Always check ATI&#8217;s latest guidelines at atitesting.com, as policies are consistent but confirm your testing location. Preparing effectively boosts your overall TEAS score essential for nursing school admission!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","faq-categories":[],"class_list":["post-2512","faqs","type-faqs","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Can You Use a Calculator on the TEAS Test?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"No, you cannot bring or use your own personal calculator during the ATI TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) exam.
