1. 1. Read the passage: "Handwashing remains the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infection in hospitals. Yet studies show compliance drops sharply during busy shifts, even though proper technique takes less than a minute. Hospitals that post reminders at sinks and track compliance see infection rates fall." Which sentence best states the main idea?

   • A. Proper handwashing takes less than a minute
   • B. Handwashing prevents infection, but getting staff to do it consistently is the real challenge
   • C. Hospitals should hire more staff for busy shifts
   • D. Infection rates are rising in most hospitals
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: B. Handwashing prevents infection, but getting staff to do it consistently is the real challenge

   The passage moves from the value of handwashing to the compliance problem and what helps. Choice B captures that whole arc. Choice A is a supporting detail, and choices C and D are not stated at all.

2. 2. Read the passage: "The clinic's flu vaccine supply arrived three weeks late this year. By the time doses were available, many regular patients had already been vaccinated at retail pharmacies." What can you infer from this passage?

   • A. The clinic ordered too few doses
   • B. Retail pharmacies received their vaccines earlier than the clinic
   • C. Most patients skipped the flu vaccine this year
   • D. The clinic will stop offering flu vaccines
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: B. Retail pharmacies received their vaccines earlier than the clinic

   If patients got vaccinated at pharmacies before the clinic's late supply arrived, the pharmacies must have had doses earlier. The other choices go beyond what the passage supports.

3. 3. Read the passage: "Every student deserves a quiet place to study. School libraries should stay open until 9 pm on weeknights, and district leaders should fund the extra staff hours without delay." What is the author's primary purpose?

   • A. To inform readers about library opening hours
   • B. To entertain readers with a story about studying
   • C. To persuade readers that library hours should be extended
   • D. To describe how school budgets are set
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: C. To persuade readers that library hours should be extended

   Words like should and without delay signal an argument for action, which makes this persuasive writing rather than neutral information.

4. 4. Complete the sentence.

   A statement that can be checked and proved true or false is a _____, while a statement of personal belief or judgment is an _____.

   Opções para a lacuna 1: fact, topic, summary, theme

   Opções para a lacuna 2: inference, opinion, argument, example

   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: fact, opinion

   Facts are verifiable; opinions express judgment. The TEAS often asks you to separate the two inside a single passage, so watch for judgment words like best, should or worthwhile.

5. 5. Read the sentence: "The new intake process was so convoluted that even experienced staff needed a flowchart to follow it." Based on context, what does convoluted mean?

   • A. Brief
   • B. Complicated
   • C. Popular
   • D. Optional
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: B. Complicated

   The clue is that even experienced staff needed a flowchart, which signals something hard to follow. Convoluted means complicated or intricate.

6. 6. Read the passage: "The night shift runs from 11 pm to 7 am. It is the best shift for people who like quiet work. Nurses on nights complete rounds every two hours. Everyone should try nights at least once." Which of the following statements from the passage are opinions?

   Marque todas as opções corretas.

   • A. The night shift runs from 11 pm to 7 am
   • B. It is the best shift for people who like quiet work
   • C. Nurses on nights complete rounds every two hours
   • D. Everyone should try nights at least once
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: B. It is the best shift for people who like quiet work, D. Everyone should try nights at least once

   Best and should signal judgment, so those two are opinions. The shift times and the rounding schedule are verifiable facts.

7. 7. You are using a textbook and need the page number where the term osmosis is discussed. Which part of the book should you check?

   • A. The table of contents
   • B. The glossary
   • C. The index
   • D. The preface
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: C. The index

   The index lists specific terms alphabetically with page numbers. The glossary defines terms but does not point to the discussion pages, and the table of contents only lists chapters.

8. 8. Read the passage: "Regular sleep improves memory. In one study, students who slept eight hours recalled 20 percent more terms than students who slept five. Attention and mood also improve with consistent rest." Which sentence is a supporting detail rather than the main idea?

   • A. Regular sleep improves memory
   • B. In one study, students who slept eight hours recalled 20 percent more terms than students who slept five
   • C. Sleep matters for students
   • D. Rest affects the brain
   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: B. In one study, students who slept eight hours recalled 20 percent more terms than students who slept five

   The study result is specific evidence backing the broader claim that sleep improves memory. Details answer how do we know; main ideas state the point.

9. 9. Complete the sentence.

   The author's _____ is the reason a text was written: usually to inform, to persuade or to entertain.

   Opções para a lacuna 1: tone, purpose, theme, bias

   Mostrar resposta e explicação

   Resposta: purpose

   Purpose is the author's goal. Tone is the author's attitude, and theme is the underlying message of a literary work. The TEAS tests all three, so keep the terms straight.

10. 10. Read the schedule: "Anatomy lab: Mondays 2 pm. Open study room: weekdays 8 am to 8 pm. Tutoring: Tuesdays and Thursdays 4 pm to 6 pm." A student is free only after 5 pm on weekdays. Which resource can they use?

    • A. Anatomy lab
    • B. Tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 6 pm
    • C. Neither tutoring nor the study room
    • D. The study room on weekends
    Mostrar resposta e explicação

    Resposta: B. Tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 6 pm

    Tutoring runs until 6 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so a student free after 5 pm can still catch the last hour. The anatomy lab meets at 2 pm, and the schedule says the study room is open on weekdays, not weekends, so the other choices contradict the schedule.

11. 11. Read the passage: "Community gardens improve neighborhoods. Plots give residents access to fresh vegetables. Gardeners report knowing more of their neighbors by name. One city found that blocks with gardens had less litter." Which details from the passage support the claim in the first sentence?

    Marque todas as opções corretas.

    • A. Plots give residents access to fresh vegetables
    • B. Gardeners report knowing more of their neighbors by name
    • C. One city found that blocks with gardens had less litter
    • D. Community gardens improve neighborhoods
    Mostrar resposta e explicação

    Resposta: A. Plots give residents access to fresh vegetables, B. Gardeners report knowing more of their neighbors by name, C. One city found that blocks with gardens had less litter

    The first three choices are specific pieces of evidence. The last one is the claim itself, so it cannot be its own support.

12. 12. Read the passage: "Another meeting that could have been an email. Two hours, forty slides, and the only decision made was to schedule a follow-up meeting." Which word best describes the author's tone?

    • A. Enthusiastic
    • B. Sarcastic
    • C. Neutral
    • D. Hopeful
    Mostrar resposta e explicação

    Resposta: B. Sarcastic

    The opening line and the pointed detail about the only decision being another meeting signal sarcasm: the author is mocking the meeting, not reporting on it neutrally.

O que cai na seção Reading do TEAS 7

A seção Reading do ATI TEAS 7 tem 45 questões e 55 minutos. 39 questões contam para a nota e 6 são questões de pré-teste que não contam, misturadas sem nenhuma marcação, então dê atenção total a cada texto.

As questões que contam cobrem três áreas de conteúdo. Ideias principais e detalhes vale 15 questões: ideias centrais, detalhes de apoio, resumos e seguir instruções. Construção e estrutura do texto vale 9: escolha de palavras, tom, ponto de vista, estrutura do texto e fato versus opinião. Integração de conhecimento e ideias vale 15: tirar conclusões, avaliar argumentos e juntar informações de textos, tabelas e elementos gráficos.

Os textos em si são curtos e práticos: parágrafos, memorandos, rótulos, cronogramas e gráficos simples, em vez de textos literários longos. A habilidade testada é a leitura atenta sob pressão de tempo, pouco mais de um minuto por questão.

Como usar esta amostra

Toda questão abaixo é autossuficiente: leia o texto curto, responda e siga em frente. Resista à vontade de responder com o seu próprio conhecimento. As questões de leitura do TEAS sempre podem ser respondidas só com o texto, e as alternativas erradas costumam ser afirmações verdadeiras em geral, mas que o texto à sua frente não sustenta.

Depois de terminar, leia as explicações tanto das respostas certas quanto das erradas. Elas mostram por que cada alternativa correta está apoiada no texto. Se as questões de inferência te derrubaram, vá mais devagar e pergunte o que o texto dá a entender sem dizer. Se você errou uma questão de fato versus opinião, procure as palavras de julgamento em inglês, como best ou should. As amostras de ciências, matemática e inglês linkadas abaixo cobrem as outras três seções.
