ATI Prep course

Hi,

I have a question and would to hear others thoughts on the ATI Course of study. My sister scored low on these tests but still passed her boards. Then I had a friend that had a 99.9 percent chance to pass her boards predicted by ATI and she failed. What do you think of the ATI course and their predictions if you pass or fail your boards? How well does their course prepare you for boards or is Saunders better? Anyone do the ATI? I am taking my boards next week and did not do well on the predictor test but it was hard for me to take for all the background noise I had going on. I live in an apartment. It stated I only had 78.8 % chance in passing and now I am stressed but my sister scored low and she passed. Please want to hear your thoughts. I really don't want to put off my test because the longer you wait the worse your chances are to pass it. I graduated last day of July. My sister said the ATI study did not help her one bit. They suggest I put off my test for another month but I think I would rather take it and try. If you fail you can take it again in 45 days. Thoughts please????

I did just about as well as you did on the ATI about 76% chance of passing, and I passed at 85 questions. I don't think you should hold off on your boards, just go for it it sounds like you already have done a lot of prep for them. GOOD LUCk

I scorred around the same on my ATI and I passed the board with the minimum amount of questions-85.

To be honest ATI is harder than the boards. I used Delmar & Kaplan strategy to study for the boards and I found out last Thursday that I passed. Just make sure to understand the rational when your answering questions while reviewing. You have a week so just keep answering questions. Buy some earplugs or go to the library and do 250-300 questions a day. On the day of the exam, before starting, take 3 deep breaths and smile to the computer. I know it's weird but it will take some of your nervousness away;).. Good luck. You'll do fine..I hope this helps..
