ATI & NCLEX

[rbex09]

My school has started us on a program called ATI, or Assessment Technologies Institute. I've done pretty well on all of my tests throughout school and they are all NCLEX style questions. They've recently given us this ATI program and said that the style is just like NCLEX and that it will give us the best idea of how we will do on NCLEX after we graduate. I'm doing horribly with this new program. The last test I took, I was told I had a 38% chance of passing the NCLEX. I am NOT a bad student. I get mostly B's with a few C's in my harder classes and a few A's in the easier ones.

Has anyone heard of ATI and is it really the best? Because if it is... I'm thinking I've been wasting my time

same here. my school required us to pass ATI, otherwise we cant move on to the next semester. I liked the practice test, they helped me a lot. I suggest that you go over to your weakness.

I cant tell any difference yet, between the ATI and Nclex. Im scheduled to take the nclex on April.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I feel the same way about ATI although it is what I am mainly using to prep for boards. I know that it works. But it is disheartening and because I can't get very high on them usually in the mid 60's.

ATI is a horrible testing program. Our school uses ATI and I study the ATI books to pass their tests, but they give very, very conflicting information when compared to our textboooks.

So, when it comes to ATI time..I learn it, and forget it...
