ATI Critical Thinking Exam

Best way to prepare for the ATI Critical Thinking Exam

Updated:   Published

Hello everyone. I'm new to the site. Does anyone have any tips on how to prepare for the ATI Critical Thinking Exam? I'm re-entering a different nursing school & I have Fundamentals & Med Surg under my belt. I'm thinking it may be "think like a nurse questions, while that answer is correct it is not the most correct" type questions but I don't want to assume. Any advice?? Thanks in advance!!

@ydlmnurse I only remember one clinical scenario from the exam. The questions are off the wall. I gave a good example earlier in this thread but besides that 1, I don't remember any. Math is definitely on the test but it's indirect. The question will ask you something that will require a little math. It definitely tests your thinking skills.

did you get any question related with math problems ,or clinical scenarios?

I agree - It's not something you can study for. But with that said don't worry I had no idea what I was doing and I scored in like the 99th percentile. It wasn't hard just try to deduce the answers.

I hope I have the same results; I’ll take my test next Thursday. I need at least a 70.
