Secure Purchase Encrypted Checkout 7-Day Guarantee

Here's what the pages look like

Swipe through real pages from Book 1. Every page is one idea, one drawing, and the section and sub-area it belongs to on ATI's outline.

What's included

3 illustrated books

102-page Book 1, 80 rapid review cards, 150 words and formulas.

One idea per page

A drawing does the explaining, and the text stays short.

Made for your phone

Portrait pages sized for a phone screen. Print them if you prefer paper.

About 3 in 10 are turned away

That’s ATI’s own figure for qualified applicants to ADN, diploma and BSN programs.

The toughest topics are the ones that are easy to mix up and hard to memorize:

Anatomy & physiology

Chemistry

Geometry & measurement

The heart & blood flow

Book 1, page 5: The path of blood, the heart drawn between the lungs and the body, with the four valves numbered
From Book 1 · page 5
Memory hook Valves in order: Try Pulling My Aorta (tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, aortic).

A picture is easier to remember than a list of terms. That’s why every one of these is drawn out in the kit.

ATI, TEAS exam details: “30% of qualified applicants are turned away from ADN, Diploma, and BSN programs.” Read October 17, 2026.

Same content. A very different night of studying.

From this
  • Walls of textbook text
  • You reread the same paragraph three times
  • Gone by exam day
Studying a dense anatomy textbook late at night
To this
  • One idea per page
  • The drawing explains it
  • You remember the picture
Book 1, page 5: The path of blood, one idea on one page

Stop rereading the same chapter

The science section is full of near-twins. The kit puts them side by side, names the mix-up, and gives you a hook to keep them straight.

Mitosis vs. meiosis

Mitosis: two identical diploid cells. Meiosis: four different haploid gametes. Only meiosis halves the chromosome count.

Book 1, page 33

Arteries vs. veins

Arteries carry blood away from the heart, whichever gas it holds. Exchange happens only in capillaries.

Book 1, pages 16 and 17

Sympathetic vs. parasympathetic

Fight or flight against rest and digest. Same organs, opposite effects. Sympathetic sprints; parasympathetic sits down to dinner.

Book 1, page 22

Innate vs. adaptive

Innate is fast but treats every invader the same. Adaptive is slow at first but remembers. Innate means inborn; adaptive adapts and remembers.

Book 1, page 29

Every page carries an Exam Trap, and every page with a real memory hook carries one:

Exam trap

Pulmonary arteries: oxygen-poor. Pulmonary veins: oxygen-rich. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, whichever gas it holds.

Memory hook

Valves in order: Try Pulling My Aorta (tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, aortic).

Quoted word for word from Book 1, page 16, The path of blood.

Memory hooks that stick

Real hooks from Book 1, like "Want on top, have on the bottom" for setting up a unit conversion so the units cancel.

The three books

Book 1: Nursing School Entrance Exam Illustrated

Science 45 pagesMath 25English 18Reading 14Exam TrapsMemory Hooks

The main book. 102 illustrated pages in the four sections of the ATI TEAS® 7, sized from ATI's scored outline: Science gets the most pages because it is the heaviest section and the one the drawings teach best, and every body system gets its own page.

  • Every page carries its section, sub-area and ATI objective code, so you know exactly where it sits on the outline.
  • Science pages draw the structure, the flow and the look-alike pair. Math, Reading and English pages show the method step by step with a worked example and the trap answer.
  • An Exam Trap on every page, and a Memory Hook wherever a real one exists.
  • Up front: how the exam works, how each of the five question types looks on screen, the built-in calculator, how scores and program targets work, and a study plan for two, four or eight weeks.

Rapid Review Cards

80 cardsPrompt and answerPoints to Book 1

80 cards, one per page: the prompt on top, the answer underneath, and the Book 1 page to go back to if you missed it. Half are science, and many put two look-alike terms side by side. For the last week before your test date.

The Words and Formulas of Nursing School Entrance

150 entriesIllustrated A to ZFormula sheet

An illustrated A to Z of 150 entries: the science terms as the exam uses them, the word parts you will meet again in nursing school (cardi-, -itis, hyper-, hypo-), the math formulas and conversions with a worked example each, and the grammar and reading terms. Each entry names its Book 1 page, and a one-page formula and conversion sheet closes the book.

Is this kit for you?

You're finishing your prerequisites

Anatomy and chemistry are done or nearly done, the application window is open, and your program's cut is competitive. You need the score to clear it, not another textbook.

You're a CNA or medical assistant moving up

You already know the work. The exam asks for it in textbook words, and you study on your phone between shifts. Here it is, one page at a time.

You're changing careers

The last time you did fractions was high school, and a sitting is booked. Every math page shows the method step by step, with the trap answer named, so the rust comes off fast.

How this kit is made

No gimmicks and no shortcuts. Just ATI's published outline, drawn clearly.

Built on the published outline

Every page starts from the ATI TEAS® Version 7 Content Outline and uses the same terms as the standard open textbooks for anatomy and physiology, biology and chemistry.

Honest about the gray areas

Where textbooks disagree, or a target varies by program, the page says so in plain words instead of picking one answer and hoping.

Mapped, not padded

Each page carries its section, sub-area and ATI objective code. Nothing is in the kit because it filled a page.

Independent, on purpose

Not affiliated with ATI, PSI, Elsevier (HESI), any college, university, nursing school or program, any state board of nursing, or OpenStax. We answer to the people studying, not to a publisher.

7-day money-back guarantee

Use the kit for 7 days. If it doesn't help you, email us and you get 100% of your money back. No fine print, no hassle.

Questions, answered

How will I receive the books?

Right after purchase we email you a link to your library, where you download all three PDFs. You can come back and download them again anytime.

Is this a one-time payment or a subscription?

One-time payment of $27. No subscription, no recurring charges.

Which exam does this cover?

The ATI TEAS® 7, all four sections: Reading, Mathematics, Science, and English and Language Usage. Book 1 is organized by ATI's published content outline, and every page carries its section, sub-area and objective code. It is not written for the HESI A2, which is a different exam with its own outline.

What score do I need?

There is no national pass mark. Each program sets its own composite and section targets, attempt limit and waiting period, and they change year to year. Check your program below: if it's on our map you see its published targets with the date we read them; if not, the answer is on your program's admissions page, and the book shows you what to look for.

Does it cover the question types that aren't multiple choice?

Yes. Book 1 opens with a page on each of the five types as they look on screen, and the kit's practice questions (sold at checkout) include multiple select, fill in the blank, ordered response and hot spot items, scored all or nothing as on the exam.

Can I study on my phone?

Yes. The pages are portrait, phone-sized, and built around one idea each. They print fine too.

Is this affiliated with ATI, PSI or my nursing program?

No. Nurse Made Simple is an independent study aid built from ATI's publicly available content outline and standard open textbooks. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by Assessment Technologies Institute, LLC (ATI), PSI, Elsevier (HESI), any college, university, nursing school or program, any state board of nursing, or OpenStax. It is not a course and does not count toward any program's prerequisites or admission requirements.

What if it doesn't help me?

Email us within 7 days of purchase and we'll refund 100% of your money. Details on the refund policy page.

You're studying for 150 scored questions, not a whole textbook

The ATI TEAS® 7 is 170 questions in 209 minutes, four sections timed separately. Every page of Book 1 names the section and sub-area it belongs to, so you always know where you are on the outline.

ATI TEAS® 7, the whole exam

One national exam since June 2022, taken online at ATI, at a PSI test center or at your school. Each program sets its own target score.

170questions, 150 scored
209minutes, four separate clocks
4sections, weighted below
  • Science · 50 questions in 60 minutes44 scored
  • Reading · 45 questions in 55 minutes39 scored
  • Mathematics · 38 questions in 57 minutes34 scored
  • English and Language Usage · 37 questions in 37 minutes33 scored

The other 20 questions are unscored pretest items mixed into the sections. A four-function calculator is built into the Math section. Unanswered questions count as wrong, so there is no penalty for guessing.

Five question types

About one in five is not multiple choice. Every question is scored all or nothing.

  • AMultiple choice. Four options, one correct.
  • ✓Multiple select. Pick every correct option. Miss one and the question scores zero.
  • _Fill in the blank. Type the answer, usually a number in Math.
  • 1Ordered response. Drag four to six steps into order, like the path of blood.
  • ⌖Hot spot. Click the right area on a drawing or graph.

ATI's five score bands

  • Developmental0.0 to 40.0
  • Basic40.7 to 58.0
  • Proficient58.7 to 79.3
  • Advanced80.0 to 91.3
  • Exemplary92.0 to 100

Bands describe a score. They are not a pass mark: programs quote them when they set their own targets.

Sources: ATI TEAS Version 7 Content Outline (ATI, 2022); ATI help pages on content areas and question counts (modified September 17, 2026), time limits, item types and the calculator; ATI TEAS 7 sample score report for the bands. Read October 17, 2026. Confirm current rules at atitesting.com before you register.

What score does your program ask for?

There is no national pass mark. Each program publishes its own targets, and we read them straight from the program's own page. Pick yours to see what it said, and when we read it.

One exam, many targets

Programs on our map ask for anything from a Basic band to a composite in the high 70s, and many add section floors, most often in Science. The same score can clear one program and miss another.

Read from each program's page

Attempts and waiting periods

ATI sets no cap and no waiting period, but your program does. Two or three attempts a year with a 30-day wait is common, and some count only the first sitting.

Varies by program

Not on the map?

Open your program's admissions page and look for three things: the composite target, any section targets, and the attempt rule. The book's "How scores and program targets work" page shows where they usually hide.

Check your program's page

Targets, attempt limits and waiting periods were read from each program's own page on the date shown. Programs change their rules every year, so confirm on your program's page before you register. This map is a sample of programs, not a rule for any program that isn't on it.

One last thing before you decide

The entrance exam doesn't have to be the scary part of applying. You don't need to reread the textbook. You need to see how the material fits together, the way ATI's outline lays it out.
