ATI and Passing the NCLEX


Those of you that have had ATI predictors and have taken the NCLEX:

Was ATI right? Did you pass or fail? ATI is saying I have between and 98-99% chance of passing boards. Should I believe them???

My ATI predictor said I had a 98% chance of passing boards on 1st attempt and I did. 75 question an hour later and I was done...with minimal to none stress.

I used ATI faithfully during my Nclex prep. About 3 weeks before Nclex day I took all the content ATI test to see where I was. I started with the lowest score, for me that was neuro ( I think) then I targted my Saunders and Davis disks to nuero questions, did those and went back and took the ATI content again and my score improved.

I am a beliver in ATI.

I thought that the ATI and Teas tests were much harder than NCLEX and are very different. When you take the first two, you kind of have an idea as to how well you did, whereas with the NCLEX, many leave feeling bewildered. It's not that NCLEX is harder in content but it has its own style of questioning. Practice NCLEX type questions from Saunders or others.

ATI is a comprehensive predictor on how you will do with the NCLEX. If you Google ATI exam you will get a few pages discussing it

I just realized how old this post is--Jan, I am pretty sure allthingsbright is now a practicing nurse---but to answer "graeze" questions. ATI is just another Nclex tool. My school insisted we buy and follow the ATI program through out school. ATI comes in 4 sections. Peds/OB/MS and Mental Health. They have disks-books and online tests. Some of the online test immediatly show you the correct answer and the rational, while the smaller content test never show you the correct answer or the rational---those are what I used to prepare for boards as I couldnt accidently memorize the answers so my test scores were pretty acurate to as how much I knew on the topics.

THere is an NClex predictor that ATI has it is 265 questions and covers all topics--I actually thought it was pretty simliar to the actual Nclex. Once complete the predictor has a huge multi page break down of your stregnths and weaknesses. It also can tell you "if you took Nclex today your percent of passing would be..."

Some schools are using this as a passing tool, for instance my school will not allow you to take boards if your ATI predictor is less than 60% you will need to take a refresher course and get your score to above 60 before they will send thier portion of the paper work to PearsonVue---

Some people are fans of ATI and others are not--I personally thought it was a good tool. But just that a tool. I also used Saunders/Davis/Mosby to prepare for boards.

Best of luck---I am a firm beliver that the anticipation of the Nclex exam is worse than the actual test itself---
