I have completed an associates nursing program and graduation almost 2 months ago. My school requires a score of 75 on the comprehensive ATI final, which is equivalent to a 99% pass of the NCLEX on the first try I believe. I have taken it twice, one time a few days before graduation and once after using the NCSBN review. I didn't think the review helped much. My score is not up to a 75 on the practice exams. I am unable to take the NCLEX until I complete this. Any advice. I have a job lined up which isn't pressuring me to start at all until I am ready to test. Just ready for my new adventures in life and a pay increase. Also half of our class did not pass with the 75 the first time taking the exam.

Assuming the ATI is formatted like the NCLEX, I guess my recommendation would be to take an NCLEX prep class.

I was not required to get a 75 on ATI comprehensive (our requirement was 72). However I did get a 80 putting me in the 99 percentile. The best advice I have is ATI for ATI, meaning use the ATI resources(ex. books, online tutorial, and exams). Although I found NCLEX to be easier then ATI thats only my opinion. Do questions everyday, 100 to 150 at least and use your ATI resources. Good Luck
