ATI CAT adaptive exam

Updated:   Published

Hello I recently took the CAT adaptive exam on ATI and am unsure about my results I got "12th percentile of hard difficulty band", is this a good or bad thing?

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their results from taking the CAT adaptive exam on ATI, specifically focusing on their percentiles in different difficulty bands such as hard and moderate. Some members are happy with their high percentiles in the moderate difficulty band, while others are seeking reassurance about their scores and asking for feedback on whether they are on the right track for taking the NCLEX exam. Additionally, there are questions about interpreting ATI CAT scores and confusion about the significance of different percentile rankings.

That’s good. means the majority of your questions were hard and you did better than 12% of people who also got “hard” difficulty. They say you want to strive for at least moderate difficulty 50 percentile

This makes me happy. I just took one and it said 98 percentile of Moderate

I also got a high 90 of the moderate. Have you taken the NCLEX yet or gotten any other feedback as to if this is good?? 

Hi everyone,

please help! I am preparing to take the LPN NCLEX in a few weeks and I have been practicing on Board vitals with CAT on adaptive quizzes. My percentages are 99th% moderate and 65th% Hard, so far. Is this a good sign that I am on the right track? I am so anxious. 
thank you all in advance for answering.

I am also taking the NCLEX PN in less than two weeks and have been practicing board vitals with CAT on ATI. Right now Im ranking 87-88% percentile moderate. Can someone tell me if I'm on the right track? Thank you!!

Hi, how do you understand the ATI CAT scores? I keep getting moderate 83rd% score of 59 out of 85 questions. 87th% score of a 59 out of 150 questions. and 93% score f a 56 out of 85 questions. Is this Bad? I have also been using Archer and I have scored 4 Very high chance on my CAT exams. and 3 very high on my readiness exams. I am very confused
