What the ATI TEAS Version 7 Reading section actually covers
Key Ideas and Details
Reading passages test whether you can identify the main idea, locate supporting details, sequence steps in a process, and draw logical conclusions from what's stated — without relying on outside knowledge. Expect short informational and narrative passages rather than long literary works.
Craft, Structure, and Language Use
This area covers determining word meaning from context clues, recognizing a passage's organizational structure (cause-effect, compare-contrast, chronological), identifying the author's purpose, and spotting bias or point of view — for example, noticing when a source has a personal or financial stake in what it's arguing.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
You'll read and interpret information presented in charts, tables, graphs, and real-world reference materials like medication and warning labels, then apply stated rules to a new scenario — a dosing-schedule question is a classic example of this skill.
Sample ATI TEAS Version 7 Reading questions with rationales
Rationale: In the original sentence, "pool" means a supply or group of people to draw from (a jury pool). Option D uses "pool" the same way — a supply of available workers. The other options use "pool" to mean combining money, a recreational venue, or a puddle of liquid — different senses of the word.
Rationale: Identifying potential bias requires considering whether the author has a personal or financial stake in the topic (a conflict of interest), which can shape how they present information. Birth date, word choice, and whether the writing succeeds at its goal don't directly reveal underlying bias.
Rationale: "Neither here nor there" is an idiom meaning something is beside the point or irrelevant to the current topic — fitting a tangent about a holiday party brought up in the middle of a finance meeting.
Rationale: This closely restates the label's actual warning. Option A misstates who needs a doctor. Option B contradicts the label, since the medication is for mild infections, not long-term illness. Option C overgeneralizes the doctor requirement to all users.
Rationale: Option B's gaps are 5, 4, and 4 hours — every gap fits the 4–6 hour window, and no 12-hour span has more than 3 doses. Options A, C, and D each contain a gap of only 2 hours, violating the minimum spacing rule.
