Entrance Exams

The following entrance exams are administered at CSUN on some dates. For registration information, dates, etc., visit the appropriate test websites listed below.

ACT: American College Test

The ACT is one of two tests (the SAT is the other) used by the California State University system to determine eligibility for admission (all campuses will accept either the ACT or SAT). The ACT should be taken well in advance of the proposed enrollment, on one of the national test dates at a location near to where the student lives. Students should, if possible, take the ACT on one of the national test dates, (it can take four to six weeks for CSUN to receive scores from a national test date).

Registration bulletins are available in the CSUN Testing Center, Bayramian Hall room 190, or at most local high school guidance offices. For registration information, dates, etc., visit the ACT link below.

TEAS: Test of Essential Academic Skills

Testing for the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) is now offered at California State University Northridge (CSUN) for current students, applicants and the greater San Fernando Valley community. CSUN is an "open" testing site for TEAS testing. Testing is available for students and non-students alike.

The TEAS exam is a multiple-choice assessment of basic academic knowledge in reading, mathematics, science, English and language usage. The objectives assessed on the TEAS exam are those which nurse educators deem most appropriate and relevant to measure entry level skills and abilities of nursing program applicants.

Composite scores, as well as several sub-scores, are computed in each of the four content areas to assess specific content comprehension. Results will be available immediately following the completion of the exam. Results will also be accessible by logging in to your account on the ATI website.
