ATI CARP?

So one of the programs I got accepted to requires students take the ATI CARP (Comprehensive Assessment and Review Program) at the end of every semester. This will cost us $150 the first time, and $104 every one after. It appears that this is used to make sure the ones still in the program will be able to pass the NCLEX becaue you are required to score a certain percent to stay in the program. Seems like it's not what the CARP was made for, but that's besides the point.

So my question is: Does anyone else's program require this? Would this be a "red flag" for this school? I have heard that they admit 40 students and only 10-15 finish the program, partly because of this exam.

    Yes, my school required ATI's at the end of every rotation, and if we didn't pass, we failed the class.

    No one to my knowledge failed out because of these tests, but we were also given two chances to pass. If it was a one-time deal, a number of my classmates would have failed.

    My school also uses ATI, and we all hate it. It doesn't influence whether we pass or fail though. And fortunately, they have decided to switch to Kaplan. Here's hoping it's better!

    If this is the same as the ATI exit, then yes my school uses it as well. You must pass it at the end of every semester but we have more than one chance to take it. We also don't pay for it! I like ATI. We've got ATI books and I love the website, lots of helpful tutorials. We didn't have to pay for any of that. Well, maybe we did - in our tuition.

    ATI is taken every semester in my program. The ATI fundamentals book was crap. Majority of us didn't study the book and did well. We just focused on our Foundations book. Those who did study the ATI book, did worse. I'll see how the Med-surg part of it is when the time comes. The cost of ATI was included in our tuition and we got the entire set we will use throughout the program.

    As far as pass or fail, our goals was passing clinical and final exam, not ATI. ATI was based on pts for us. Maximum of 5 pts for getting a 80%+.
