TEAS content/sub-content/concept Breakdown
TEAS test breakdown and organization
The TEAS test is broken into 4 main content areas: Reading, Math, Science, and English and Language usage.
Each content area is then further broken down into 2 to 4 sub-content areas. The number of questions that belong to each sub-content area is fixed.
Each sub-content area is then further broken down into 2 to 12 concepts for a total of 64 concepts across the entire test. The number of questions that belong to each concept area is NOT fixed and it is possible some concepts will not appear on test day.
All questions on the TEAS must belong to one of these concepts. After taking the TEAS test the score report will specifically mention which concepts the student may be having difficulties in based on missed questions
The image above demonstrate how TEAS 7 is split into the 4 primary Content areas. Looking at just the English Content area we see that it is further divided into three sub-content areas. Looking specifically at the English Knowledge (E1) sub-content area we see that it is further divided into three concepts (E1.1 spelling, E1.2 punctuation, and E1.3 structure).
The list below shows every single possible concept that TEAS 7 questions can be pulled from. Note that while the concepts have been numbered on the list below on the official score report they will not be numbered on the score report. The wording of the concepts will be very similar if not exactly identical when comparing the official score report to this list.
