The ATI TEAS SmartPrep package contains four content modules; each contains a pretest, content lessons to work through that have short quizzes at the end of each lesson, and a posttest.  You even have the option to review lesson content associated with the questions you got wrong on the posttest and afterwards take another short posttest quiz based on those content areas.

To have the most success with improving your overall TEAS score, you’ll need to put the time and effort into each of the ATI TEAS SmartPrep content modules.  Listed below is the recommended time from ATI that should be spent on each content module.  They range from 7 hours to 13 hours.
