ATI TEAS 7 Math Study Guide

The ATI TEAS 7 Math section covers two broad areas: Number and Algebra, and Measurement and Data. You’ll need to work with fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, equations, geometry, conversions, tables, graphs, and basic statistics. Most questions are less about advanced mathematics and more about choosing the correct setup, keeping track of units, and avoiding small calculation errors.

This TEAS Math study guide explains the tested topics, formulas, solving methods, timing, calculator use, common mistakes, and practice options.

The optional 10-minute break comes after the Math section.

What is tested on the ATI TEAS 7 Math section?

The official Math outline has two sub-content areas.

Number and Algebra

This part covers:

• Fractions, decimals, and percentages
• Arithmetic with rational numbers
• Comparing and ordering numbers
• One-variable equations
• Multi-step word problems
• Percentage problems
• Estimation and rounding
• Proportions
• Ratios
• Rates of change
• Expressions
• Equations
• Inequalities

Measurement and Data

This part covers:

• Tables
• Charts
• Graphs
• Statistics
• Relationships between variables
• Geometric quantities
• Standard and metric conversions

These are the published ATI TEAS 7 Math objectives.

The list may look long, but many questions combine the same few habits:

1. Identify what the question asks.
2. Choose the correct operation or relationship.
3. Include the units.
4. Calculate carefully.
5. Check whether the answer is reasonable.

That final check catches more mistakes than students expect.

Essential arithmetic skills for TEAS Math

You don’t need to perform every calculation mentally. You do need to recognize what the numbers mean and how they relate.

Order of operations

Use this order:

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and division from left to right
4. Addition and subtraction from left to right

Consider:

18 - 3 × 4

Multiplication comes first:

3 × 4 = 12

Then subtract:

18 - 12 = 6

A common wrong answer is 60, which comes from subtracting before multiplying.

For:

(18 - 3) × 4

Complete the parentheses first:

15 × 4 = 60

The same numbers produce different answers because the grouping changed.

Positive and negative numbers

On a number line, values increase as you move right and decrease as you move left.

Therefore:

-2 > -7

Negative 2 is greater because it lies farther to the right.

For addition:

• Same signs: add the absolute values and keep the sign.
• Different signs: subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger and keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.

Example:

-9 + 4 = -5

For multiplication and division:

• Same signs give a positive result.
• Different signs give a negative result.

Example:

(-6)(-3) = 18

Example:

24 ÷ (-6) = -4

Fraction operations

Adding and subtracting fractions

Fractions need a common denominator.

Example:

2/3 + 1/4

The least common denominator is 12.

2/3 = 8/12

1/4 = 3/12

So:

8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12

Do not add the denominators.

2/3 + 1/4 is not 3/7.

Multiplying fractions

Multiply the numerators, then multiply the denominators.

3/5 × 10/9

Cancel before multiplying:

• 10 and 5 reduce to 2 and 1.
• 3 and 9 reduce to 1 and 3.

The result is:

2/3

Dividing fractions

Keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication, and invert the second fraction.

3/4 ÷ 2/5

Becomes:

3/4 × 5/2 = 15/8

As a mixed number:

1 7/8

Decimal operations

Line up decimal points when adding or subtracting.

Example:

  12.600
-  3.875
--------
   8.725

When multiplying decimals, multiply as if the values were whole numbers, then count the total decimal places.

2.4 × 0.3

24 × 3 = 72

There are two decimal places in total, so the answer is:

0.72

When dividing by a decimal, move the decimal point in both numbers until the divisor becomes a whole number.

4.5 ÷ 0.15

Move both decimals two places:

450 ÷ 15 = 30

Fractions, decimals, and percentages

You should be able to move between all three forms.

Fraction	Decimal	Percentage
1/2	0.5	50%
1/4	0.25	25%
3/4	0.75	75%
1/5	0.2	20%
2/5	0.4	40%
1/8	0.125	12.5%
3/8	0.375	37.5%
5/8	0.625	62.5%

To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100.

0.46 = 46%

To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100.

7.5% = 0.075

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.

3/8 = 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Percentages

Percentage questions become easier when you identify which of three quantities is missing:

• The part
• The whole
• The percentage

The relationship is:

Part = Percentage × Whole

Write the percentage as a decimal before calculating.

Finding a percentage of a number

What is 35% of 240?

Convert 35% to 0.35.

0.35 × 240 = 84

Answer: 84

Finding the whole

Thirty percent of a class equals 18 students. How many students are in the class?

18 = 0.30 × Whole

Divide both sides by 0.30:

Whole = 18 ÷ 0.30 = 60

Answer: 60 students

Finding the percentage

A student answered 42 of 50 questions correctly.

Percentage = Part ÷ Whole

42 ÷ 50 = 0.84

0.84 × 100 = 84%

Percentage increase

A monthly expense rises from $80 to $92.

First find the increase:

92 - 80 = 12

Then divide by the original value:

12 ÷ 80 = 0.15

Convert to a percentage:

0.15 × 100 = 15%

The increase is 15%.

The denominator must be the original amount.

Percentage decrease

A price drops from $150 to $120.

Decrease:

150 - 120 = 30

Divide by the original price:

30 ÷ 150 = 0.20

The price decreased by 20%.

A common mistake is dividing by the new price. Percentage change uses the starting value.

Discounts and final price

A $64 item is discounted by 25%.

Discount:

0.25 × 64 = 16

Final price:

64 - 16 = 48

You can also multiply by the percentage remaining:

100% - 25% = 75%

0.75 × 64 = 48

Ratios, proportions, and rates

These topics often appear inside word problems.

Ratios

A ratio compares two quantities.

If a group contains 12 nursing students and 8 respiratory therapy students, the ratio of nursing students to respiratory therapy students is:

12:8

Simplify by dividing both terms by 4:

3:2

Order matters. The ratio of respiratory therapy students to nursing students is 2:3, not 3:2.

Proportions

A proportion states that two ratios are equal.

Example:

3/5 = x/40

Cross-multiply:

3 × 40 = 5x

120 = 5x

x = 24

Check:

24/40 = 3/5

Unit rates

A unit rate compares a quantity to one unit.

A car travels 270 miles on 9 gallons of fuel.

270 ÷ 9 = 30

The car travels 30 miles per gallon.

Distance, rate, and time

Use:

Distance = Rate × Time

A cyclist travels at 14 miles per hour for 2.5 hours.

Distance = 14 × 2.5 = 35 miles

To find time:

Time = Distance ÷ Rate

To find rate:

Rate = Distance ÷ Time

Keep the units visible. They often reveal the correct setup.

Ratios in real-world problems

A solution uses 2 parts concentrate for every 7 parts water. If 21 cups of water are used, how much concentrate is needed?

Set up the ratio in the same order:

2/7 = x/21

Cross-multiply:

7x = 42

x = 6

Answer: 6 cups of concentrate

Algebra and expressions

The TEAS Math section uses algebra in practical settings. Most equations involve one variable and a small number of steps.

Translating words into expressions

Phrase	Expression
Five more than a number	x + 5
Five less than a number	x - 5
Five less than twice a number	2x - 5
Three times a number	3x
Half of a number	x/2
The sum of a number and eight	x + 8
The difference between a number and eight	x - 8

Pay attention to order.

“Seven less than a number” means:

x - 7

“The number is seven less than 20” means:

20 - 7

Combining like terms

Like terms have the same variable raised to the same power.

4x + 3x - 2 = 7x - 2

But:

4x + 3 cannot be combined because one term has a variable and the other does not.

Solving one-variable equations

Solve:

3x + 7 = 25

Subtract 7 from both sides:

3x = 18

Divide by 3:

x = 6

Check:

3(6) + 7 = 25

Equations with variables on both sides

Solve:

5x - 4 = 3x + 10

Subtract 3x from both sides:

2x - 4 = 10

Add 4:

2x = 14

Divide by 2:

x = 7

Inequalities

Solve:

2x + 3 < 11

Subtract 3:

2x < 8

Divide by 2:

x < 4

When multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number, reverse the inequality sign.

Example:

-3x > 12

Divide by -3:

x < -4

Substitution

If y = 4x - 3, find y when x = 5.

Substitute 5 for x:

y = 4(5) - 3

y = 20 - 3

y = 17

A repeatable method for word problems

Use this sequence:

1. Identify exactly what the question asks.
2. Write down the known values and their units.
3. Choose a formula, equation, proportion, or operation.
4. Solve.
5. Check the unit and size of the result.

Example:

A clinic orders 18 boxes of gloves. Each box contains 125 gloves. The clinic uses 750 gloves during the week. How many gloves remain?

Starting amount:

18 × 125 = 2,250

Remaining:

2,250 - 750 = 1,500

Answer: 1,500 gloves

The calculation is simple. The challenge is recognizing that the problem requires multiplication first and subtraction second.

Estimation and rounding

Estimation helps you reject unreasonable answers before completing a precise calculation.

Example:

49.8 × 19.7

Round to:

50 × 20 = 1,000

The exact answer should be close to 1,000.

An answer such as 98 or 9,800 is unlikely.

Rounding rules

Look at the digit immediately to the right of the place being rounded.

• 0 through 4: keep the rounding digit unchanged.
• 5 through 9: increase the rounding digit by 1.

Round 18.746 to the nearest tenth.

The tenths digit is 7. The next digit is 4, so the answer is:

18.7

Round the same value to the nearest hundredth.

The hundredths digit is 4. The next digit is 6, so round up:

18.75

Avoid rounding too early

Suppose you need to divide 17 by 6 and then multiply the result by 12.

Using the full value:

17 ÷ 6 × 12 = 34

If you round 17 ÷ 6 to 2.8 first:

2.8 × 12 = 33.6

The early rounding changed the answer.

Keep extra decimal places until the final step unless the question directs otherwise.

Measurement and geometry

Geometry questions often test whether you can identify the correct measurement before applying a formula.

Perimeter

Perimeter is the distance around a figure.

Rectangle:

P = 2l + 2w

A rectangle has length 9 cm and width 4 cm.

P = 2(9) + 2(4)

P = 18 + 8 = 26 cm

Perimeter uses linear units, such as centimeters or feet.

Area

Area measures the surface inside a two-dimensional figure.

Rectangle:

A = lw

Triangle:

A = 1/2 bh

Circle:

A = πr²

A rectangle measuring 9 cm by 4 cm has an area of:

9 × 4 = 36 cm²

Area uses square units.

Circumference

Circumference is the distance around a circle.

C = 2πr

or:

C = πd

A circle has a radius of 5 cm.

C = 2π(5)

C = 10π

Using π ≈ 3.14:

C ≈ 31.4 cm

Radius and diameter

The diameter crosses the circle through its center.

The radius runs from the center to the edge.

Diameter = 2 × Radius

Radius = Diameter ÷ 2

If the diameter is 14 inches, the radius is 7 inches.

Using 14 as the radius would make the area four times too large.

Volume

Volume measures the space inside a three-dimensional object.

Rectangular prism:

V = lwh

A container is 8 cm long, 5 cm wide, and 3 cm high.

V = 8 × 5 × 3

V = 120 cm³

Volume uses cubic units.

Cylinder:

V = πr²h

A cylinder has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 10 cm.

V = π(3²)(10)

V = 90π cm³

Using π ≈ 3.14:

V ≈ 282.6 cm³

Pythagorean theorem

For a right triangle:

a² + b² = c²

The variable c represents the hypotenuse, the side opposite the right angle.

If the legs measure 6 and 8:

6² + 8² = c²

36 + 64 = c²

100 = c²

c = 10

Choosing the correct geometric quantity

Ask what the situation requires:

• Distance around a room: perimeter
• Carpet needed for a floor: area
• Liquid a tank can hold: volume
• Distance around a circular track: circumference

Many wrong answers come from using a correct formula for the wrong quantity.

Data interpretation and statistics

The official Math outline includes interpreting tables, charts, and graphs, evaluating data with statistics, and explaining relationships between variables.

Reading tables

Start with:

• The title
• Row labels
• Column labels
• Units
• Time period

Consider:

Month	Appointments scheduled	Appointments completed
January	240	204
February	260	221
March	250	225

Which month had the highest completion percentage?

January:

204 ÷ 240 = 0.85 = 85%

February:

221 ÷ 260 = 0.85 = 85%

March:

225 ÷ 250 = 0.90 = 90%

March had the highest completion percentage.

The largest number of completed appointments alone would not answer the question. You must compare proportions.

Mean

Mean is the arithmetic average.

For 72, 80, 85, and 91:

72 + 80 + 85 + 91 = 328

328 ÷ 4 = 82

Mean: 82

Median

Put the values in order and identify the middle.

For:

4, 7, 9, 12, 18

Median: 9

With an even number of values, average the middle two.

For:

4, 7, 9, 12

(7 + 9) ÷ 2 = 8

Median: 8

Mode

The mode is the value that appears most often.

For:

2, 3, 3, 5, 7

Mode: 3

A dataset may have:

• One mode
• More than one mode
• No mode

Range

Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values.

For:

14, 19, 22, 31

31 - 14 = 17

Range: 17

Outliers

An outlier is a value much higher or lower than the rest of the data.

Consider:

10, 11, 12, 12, 55

The value 55 raises the mean sharply, while the median remains 12.

If a question asks for a measure that best represents a typical value in a dataset with a major outlier, the median may be more useful than the mean.

Relationships between variables

A graph may show:

• Positive relationship: both variables tend to increase together.
• Negative relationship: one tends to decrease as the other increases.
• No clear relationship: the data do not show a consistent pattern.

A relationship does not automatically prove causation.

If study time and test scores rise together, the graph shows an association. It does not, by itself, prove that study time was the only cause of the higher scores.

Misleading graph scales

Always inspect the vertical axis.

A graph that begins at 95 rather than 0 can make a small difference look dramatic.

Read the values instead of judging only by bar height.

Standard and metric conversions

The Math outline includes conversions within and between standard and metric systems.

Metric prefixes

Prefix	Meaning
Kilo-	1,000
Centi-	0.01
Milli-	0.001

Common metric relationships include:

• 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
• 1 meter = 100 centimeters
• 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters
• 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams
• 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters

Metric example

Convert 2.7 liters to milliliters.

2.7 × 1,000 = 2,700

Answer: 2,700 mL

Standard conversions

Common relationships include:

• 12 inches = 1 foot
• 3 feet = 1 yard
• 16 ounces = 1 pound
• 60 seconds = 1 minute
• 60 minutes = 1 hour
• 24 hours = 1 day

Dimensional analysis

Dimensional analysis keeps the units visible and allows unwanted units to cancel.

Convert 5 feet to inches:

5 ft × 12 in / 1 ft = 60 in

The feet units cancel, leaving inches.

Converting between systems

When a conversion factor is supplied, use it exactly as written.

Suppose:

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

Convert 7 inches to centimeters:

7 in × 2.54 cm / 1 in = 17.78 cm

Square and cubic units

Converting area requires squaring the conversion factor.

Since:

1 foot = 12 inches

Then:

1 square foot = 12 × 12 = 144 square inches

For volume:

1 cubic foot = 12 × 12 × 12 = 1,728 cubic inches

Using 12 instead of 144 or 1,728 is a common mistake.

How to use the TEAS Math calculator efficiently

ATI provides the calculator, but it won’t decide how to set up a problem.

Use it for arithmetic after you have chosen the correct relationship.

Write the setup first

Before typing, write:

Percentage change = change ÷ original

or:

Area = length × width

This reduces the chance of entering the wrong values.

Use parentheses carefully

For:

(18 + 6) ÷ 4

Entering 18 + 6 ÷ 4 produces a different result because division occurs first.

Estimate before calculating

If the calculator displays 0.036 when you expected a result near 36, check the decimal placement.

Estimation gives you a range to expect.

Avoid repeated rounding

Keep the full calculator result during intermediate steps. Round once, at the end.

Check the requested form

A calculator may display 0.625, while the question asks for a percentage.

Convert:

0.625 = 62.5%

The arithmetic can be correct while the selected answer remains wrong because the format was not converted.

Practise without your personal calculator

The official exam does not allow you to bring your own calculator. Familiarity with basic four-function operations matters more than familiarity with advanced scientific-calculator buttons.

How to manage the 57-minute Math section

You have about 90 seconds per delivered question on average.

That doesn’t mean every question must take exactly 90 seconds. A fraction conversion may take 20 seconds. A multi-step data problem may need two minutes.

Use flexible checkpoints:

Time remaining	Approximate progress target
45 minutes	Around question 8
34 minutes	Around question 16
22 minutes	Around question 24
11 minutes	Around question 31
Final minutes	Finish blanks and review marked items

These are study checkpoints, not official ATI rules.

Take the quick points first

When a question has a familiar setup, solve it and move on.

Don’t turn an easy question into a long one by repeatedly checking a straightforward calculation.

Mark a difficult setup and continue

If you cannot identify the operation after a reasonable attempt:

1. Eliminate impossible options.
2. Mark the question.
3. Continue.
4. Return after answering the questions you can solve confidently.

Use answer choices to your advantage

For equation questions, substituting the options may be faster than solving algebraically.

For estimation questions, eliminate choices with the wrong size or sign.

Leave no accidental blanks

Use the final minutes to find unanswered questions before reconsidering answered ones.

Common ATI TEAS Math mistakes

Mistake	What went wrong	Better approach
Using the new value as the denominator in percentage change	The comparison base is incorrect	Divide by the original value

Adding fraction denominators	The fraction rule is misapplied	Find a common denominator
Ignoring a graph’s axis scale	The visual difference is exaggerated or understated	Read the numerical labels
Using area when the question asks for perimeter	The wrong geometric measure is chosen	Decide whether the problem asks for inside space or boundary length
Forgetting square or cubic units	The numerical value lacks the correct dimension	Label units after every major step
Typing before planning	A correct formula is never established	Write the setup first
Assuming every relationship is causal	A graph shows association only	State only what the data support
Choosing the closest-looking option	A familiar number is mistaken for the final result	Complete every required step

1. B: 35%

Divide:

7 ÷ 20 = 0.35

Convert to a percentage:

0.35 × 100 = 35%

2. B: 70%

84 ÷ 120 = 0.70

0.70 × 100 = 70%

3. C: $67.20

Discount:

0.30 × 96 = 28.80

Sale price:

96 - 28.80 = 67.20

4. B: 6 cups

Set up the ratio:

5/2 = 15/x

Cross-multiply:

5x = 30

x = 6

5. C: 9

4x - 9 = 27

Add 9:

4x = 36

Divide by 4:

x = 9

6. C: 3x - 8

“Three times a number” is 3x.

“Eight less than” means subtract 8.

7. C: 52 miles per hour

Rate = Distance ÷ Time

156 ÷ 3 = 52

8. B: 34 meters

P = 2l + 2w

P = 2(11) + 2(6)

P = 22 + 12 = 34 meters

9. C: 78.5 square feet

V = 84 cubic inches

14. B: 80%

180 ÷ 225 = 0.80

0.80 × 100 = 80%

15. B: x < -5

-2x > 10

Divide by -2.

Because you divided by a negative number, reverse the inequality:

x < -5

Free ATI TEAS 7 Math practice tests

After reviewing the methods above, take a timed Math test without keeping the guide open. That will show whether you can choose and apply the method on your own.

Pharmacy Freak currently offers two free Math tests:

• ATI TEAS 7 Math Practice Test 1
• ATI TEAS 7 Math Practice Test 2

Each test includes:

• 30 Math questions
• A 45-minute timer
• Number and Algebra questions
• Measurement and Data questions
• Multiple TEAS-style response formats
• Instant results
• Correct-answer review
• Explanations for every question
• Topic-wise performance analysis
• A downloadable PDF review
• No login requirement

The timer is based on the approximate time available per question in the official Math section.

Why Pharmacy Freak Math tests compare well with other available tests

Many free Math quizzes stop after showing a percentage. That is useful for a quick check, but it leaves the student to work out why the errors happened.

Pharmacy Freak gives you a more usable result. You can review each question, compare your response with the correct answer, read the explanation, see performance by topic, and download a PDF copy of the attempt. The tests also include more than standard four-option questions.

Those features make Pharmacy Freak’s subject tests a better study tool than score-only quizzes. The difference is concrete: you receive information that can guide the next study session.

The tests are still practice resources. Their percentages are not official ATI equated scores and should not be treated as admission predictions.

How to use both Math tests

A sensible sequence is:

1. Review the main Math topics.
2. Take Math Practice Test 1 under the full timer.
3. Separate calculation errors from setup errors.
4. Review the weakest topic.
5. Redo a few similar problems without notes.
6. Take Math Practice Test 2.
7. Compare the two topic-wise reports.

Taking both tests on the same day gives you less time to correct the habits exposed by the first result.

When should you take a mixed TEAS practice test?

A Math-only test tells you how well you perform when all 30 questions come from the same subject. The actual TEAS requires you to move through four different sections.

After focused Math practice, take Free TEAS Practice Test 2.

The free mixed test contains 50 questions covering Reading, Math, Science, and English and Language Usage. It has a 61-minute timer, instant scoring, question-level explanations, section-wise results, PDF review, and no login requirement.

Use the mixed result to check whether you can recognize Math methods after working through questions from other subjects.

The full collection is available through the ATI TEAS practice-test hub.

When should you use a full-length TEAS 7 practice test?

A full-length test becomes useful after you have reviewed your main content weaknesses.

It can show whether you can:

• Complete Reading before beginning Math
• Maintain concentration during the full 57-minute Math section
• Use the calculator without wasting time
• Review marked and unanswered questions
• Continue into Science after the optional break
• Sustain accuracy across a 170-question test

The Pharmacy Freak full-length ATI TEAS 7 practice-test package includes 10 complete practice exams for $9.

Each test contains 170 delivered questions across four separately timed sections, including 150 scored questions and 20 unidentified unscored questions. The engine includes server-controlled timers, automatic progress saving, Mark for Review, a question navigator, a built-in Math calculator, an optional break, locked completed sections, section-level results, an emailed result, and a downloadable PDF report.

Compared with shorter tests sold as complete preparation, these simulations give you the full question volume, separate section timing, test flow, and endurance demand. They are most useful when spaced through a study plan, with time between attempts to review the reports and correct weak areas.

Frequently asked questions

How many Math questions are on the ATI TEAS 7?

The Math section delivers 38 questions. ATI identifies 34 as scored Math questions, leaving four unidentified pretest questions.

How much time is allowed for TEAS Math?

You receive 57 minutes for the Math section, or about 90 seconds per delivered question on average.

What are the two ATI TEAS 7 Math content areas?

The two areas are Number and Algebra, with 18 scored questions, and Measurement and Data, with 16 scored questions.

Can I use a calculator on the ATI TEAS?

Yes. ATI provides a calculator. The online exam includes a built-in calculator, while a proctor provides one for a paper-and-pencil test. You cannot use your personal calculator.

What Math topics should I study first?

Start with fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, and one-variable equations. These skills appear inside many word problems and support later work with rates, conversions, geometry, and data.

Take a diagnostic Math test before spending equal time on every topic.

Which formulas should I know?

ATI’s published Math guidance includes arithmetic with fractions and decimals, percentages, ratios, proportions, equations, geometry, statistics, and unit conversions. Sample formulas listed by ATI include distance, area, perimeter, volume, slope-intercept form, the Pythagorean theorem, circumference, triangle area, and simple interest.

Knowing a formula is only the first step. You also need to recognize when the question calls for it.

Are conversion factors provided on the TEAS?

Do not assume every needed conversion will appear in the question. Learn common metric relationships and frequently used standard conversions. When a less familiar factor is provided, use dimensional analysis to apply it correctly.

How difficult is TEAS algebra?

The official outline focuses on one-variable equations, expressions, proportions, ratios, rates, percentages, and real-world situations involving equations and inequalities.

The algebra is usually manageable when you translate the wording carefully and complete one step at a time.

How can I improve TEAS Math word problems?

Before calculating, write:

• What is known
• What must be found
• The units
• The relationship connecting the values

Most word-problem errors happen before the arithmetic begins.

How much time should I spend on each Math question?

The average is 90 seconds, but use that as a pacing guide rather than a strict rule. Answer quick questions efficiently so you have more time for multi-step problems.

Why are Pharmacy Freak Math tests better than basic online quizzes?

They include timed 30-question tests, multiple question formats, instant scoring, answer explanations, topic-wise analysis, and downloadable PDF review. They are free and require no login.

A score-only quiz tells you how many you missed. Pharmacy Freak also helps you identify what to review.

Is a Pharmacy Freak Math score an official ATI score?

No. It is a practice percentage. Official ATI content-area scores are equated, which means they are adjusted to account for differences between exam forms and cannot be calculated directly from a simple raw percentage.
