NEX Exam Sections
The NEX covers 3 sections. Approximately 80% of NEX content overlaps with the ATI TEAS, so TEAS preparation transfers. The main differences are in labeling, section timing, and minor content weighting.
Verbal Ability
Reading comprehension, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning as tested in the NEX Verbal Ability section.
~40 questions
Mathematics
Arithmetic, algebra, and quantitative reasoning at the level required for pre-nursing coursework.
~40 questions
Science
Biology, chemistry, and health-science concepts. Note: Physics was removed from NEX in 2025.
~40 questions
NEX and TEAS content overlap
Research comparing the two exams finds approximately 80% content overlap. If you are enrolled in a program that previously required the PAX, you may also find that ATI TEAS prep materials cover the majority of NEX content. Your NEX subscription at Geek Vitals includes full access to TEAS prep content as a built-in bonus, so nothing is wasted.
