Prepare
In light of the disruption caused by COVID-19, the Maine Community College System has adopted a test optional status (Accuplacer/SAT/ACT) for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 academic years.
During this time, Kennebec Valley Community College (KVCC) will use multiple measures which will include transcripts, college-level experience, and available test scores to make placement decisions. Additional placement assessments will be administered by the college after admission only if necessary. Individual academic programs of study (such as nursing) may, however, have specific entrance requirements; contact the college admissions office and/or website for specific program entrance requirements
ATI-TEAS
The ATI-TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) is an entrance exam required for specific Allied Health programs: Nursing, Radiological Technology, Respiratory Therapist, Physical Therapist Assistant and Occupational Therapy Assistant.
The ATI-TEAS measures a student’s ability in Reading, Mathematics, Science and English and Language Skills. There are a number of resources available. We recommend that students prepare for the test. For information regarding exam preparation materials, click here.
Effective September 1, 2020, the cost for the ATI-TEAS is $65.00. This amount is subject to change.
Applicants register and pay for the ATI-TEAS on the MyKV Student Information Portal – Admissions, Registration – TEAS.
The Learning Commons at KVCC offers free prep workshops in each subject area – contact lc@kvcc.me.edu
