ATI Books v. Testing

Nursing Students General Students

Published

My school, Fresno State, is requiring ATI testing and lists the book/DVD bundle as required reading. My question is, in this situation, do you have to purchase the book & CD bundle in order to get codes for testing. I have seen mixed info on this. here. It is not part of tuition, since it is a state college.

I have found used books&DVDs for $50 compared to $400, but if I still have to buy access, then I'll have to cough up the $400 and should save the $50. Any experience with this??

I will ask the program, but no one available to ask yet. If I wait until 1st day of class, it will be too late to get cheap copies in time.

Advice??

I just took the predictor Friday. I really thought I bombed it as I was taking it but ended up with a 99% to pass the NCLEX first round. So I was happy. It is a lot of common sense questions. No, we weren't able to pause the test for bathroom. It only takes about an hour. There were 180 questions and 30 were ummm, I forget what they call them, "control" questions, or something like that. So only 150 were actually scored. I wouldn't panic about it. As long as you've done fairly well all year, you would be surprised what you have learned.

Good Luck!!
