How we scored them

The Shelf Score weighs fit for the test taker’s goal, contents and edition, and value. For TEAS prep, fit means how directly the book serves the ATI TEAS exam: official guides and current editions score highest, with practice test counts and question counts from the listings. One listing here is about tea as a beverage, not the TEAS exam, so it ranks last on fit. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

Setup Notes

• The Official ATI guide is the only one from the test maker here.
• Practice counts: 3600 questions stated on one guide, 12 practice tests on another.
• Check the edition year; the newest here is 2026.
• One book is about tea as a beverage, not the TEAS exam.
