I just graduated and took the ATI exit assessment RN predictor according to this test I have a 96% chance of passing NCLEX on first try, I know what my weaknessess are (I remember very little maternity) anyway I wonder how accurate is this, I am feeling pretty good about this but know I have some studying to do.

I just graduated in May as well, congrats!!! Well, my program also used ATI but I have some personal issues with it, one being that it does not teach you how to actually go about answering NCLEX type questions, it really focuses on content. I took the KAPLAN review course, and it really broke down questions and introduced us to something called the "decision tree" which aids in answering the trickier questions. Also, I took the comprehensive exam as well, with a 90% predictibility and when took the Kaplan exam nearly 2 weeks later, I scored a 57%, SO... whether the ATI is accurate, I am not sure...my advice is to study from other sources, such as Saunders, Kaplan, Mosby...just mix and match and get yourself used to answering questions!!!
Good idea, right now we have a mandatory NCLEX review we are attending (ATI) she has broken down the questions and I feel I am getting some info from this, however, I will probably take the Kaplan review also
Congratulation to you too, let's do this, get the NCLEX out of the way, so we can start job hunting
