About ATI TEAS 7: Mathematics
The Mathematics section of the ATI TEAS 7 is designed to assess your foundational math skills, which are crucial for success in nursing. This section covers a range of mathematical concepts, from basic arithmetic to algebraic and geometric principles.
Key Areas of Focus:
- Number and Algebra: This area tests your understanding of basic arithmetic operations, fractions, decimals, percents, ratios, proportions, and algebraic equations.
- Measurement: You will be expected to convert between different units of measurement (e.g., metric and standard), calculate area, perimeter, and volume, and understand the concept of scale.
- Data Analysis and Statistics: This section assesses your ability to interpret information from graphs, charts, and tables, calculate basic statistical measures (mean, median, mode), and understand probability concepts.
Importance of Math in Nursing: Mathematical skills are essential for nurses to accurately administer medications, calculate dosages, monitor patient vitals, and analyze medical data. The Mathematics section of the TEAS is a crucial component of evaluating your preparedness for nursing school.
