Med-Surg ATI

[OB-nurse2013, BSN, RN]

Hi everyone!!! I am getting ready to take the med-surg ati in 2 weeks can anyone give me any study tips? I know when I took the fundamentals one the practice tests weren't anything like the actual test, is the adult med-surg one like that as well?? Thanks in advance to anyone that can point me in the right direction.

Sorry they are all like that. I thought the Med/S and the Psych ATI's were nothing like the practice exams.

Do you all get the hard copy ATI books? We didn't at first but had the school get them from ATI (i'm sure there is an added cost to you or the school for them) but those seem to be more along the lines of what are on the end of semester tests. **we have also found they help a ton for cutting down on some reading during the semester also :)**

Good Luck

Thanks, yes we have the books. I was hoping to have a short cut since the book is sooo gigantic. :)

I'm getting roughly 70% on the practice tests. But is this going to even be helpful if the real one is nothing like the practice? I am doing the focused assessments (respiratory, cardiovascular, perioperative) and doing well in those as well (70%+) - except for endocrine which I am reviewing in the ATI book now.

Any advice? I need a level 3!
