Hello everyone so I graduated last weekend with my BSN and have been studying quite a bit for boards, but now I am more anxious and nervous waiting for my ATT. I did ATI throughout my school and scored a 73.3 on the ATI predictor. I have also used ATI virtual tutor and have gotten the "green light" from them to to take the exam. I am also taking the kaplan review class this week which I really enjoy. However, I just took the readiness exam and only scored a 63% and am starting to become more anxious. It is going to probably be two or three more weeks before I test and plan to start studying more content and finish the Qtrainers along with the Qbank. Do you think I am ready to take this exam. I really need to pass the first time, because I have a job waiting for me and counting on me passing the first time... Any advice is appreciated! Good luck with everyone in their adventures as well.

Hey! only you will know when your ready enough. No one is every "100% im going to ace nclex" but here is a relationship between your Kaplan readiness score:

Here's what I had to tell myself... The average pass rate for the first attempt is 90% (you can look it up on the NCSBN website). The average first-time pass rate at my school is 98% (check out yours). Your ATI predictor is ___% likely to pass on the first try. According to the previous post...your readiness score means you're 94% likely to pass....right?
All of that info likely means you'll pass the first try, but don't let it give you a big head. Spend some time (how much is at your discretion) studying your NCLEX resources. And stay positive, you can do this!!
I graduated May 4th with my ASN, had a 98% probabilty of passing on the first try from ATI, studied for 2 weeks (using NCSBN, Saunders 5th ed, and the ATI app on my phone) took the NCLEX yesterday and found out today that I passed. Not recommending a short study period for everyone, but I felt comfortable with it.
Good luck and CONGRATS on your graduation!!

I am going through the same process! I graduated last week, and am currently in the Anderson review course. Could you tell me a little bit more about the "ati predictor" I am unsure of what that is? Is it a sort of practice test?
