ATI failure

Nursing Students NCLEX

Specializes in None ugh.

Soooooo guys. I failed my ATI the first try, second try a month later I failed HESI and now in a couple weeks I test again and it’s going to be ATI. If I fail this,  I have one more chance and that will also be ATI. My question to you guys is what material should I use to study for ATI? The issue is my school provides me with nothing besides Saunders and passpoint. I know to pass ATI I need to study ATI but there’s not really much available for me to buy. I bought the board vitals question bank if anybody’s familiar with it. Does anyone have any advice???? Desperate !

Are you referring to the comprehensive predictor?

Did you get a list of the areas you need more direction on?  ATI does identify what you need to study before your next test. I am befuddled that you are not getting any help from your faculty. Is this the first ATI test you have had?  Did you 'pay' for ATI during school and get these books? Your remediation should tell you what areas to read.

You can get them much cheaper on eBay (please choose wisely - I am not recommended this set on eBay just showing you what might be on there.

Have you met with a faculty member and describe what you have studied and ask for the resources that would come with the test. It does no good to study if you don't have guidance based on your test results.

Best wishes for success!

Edited to add: Do you have a sign-in for ATI? Sign in and look for a 'results tab'.   I don't know if thee will be one but it is worth a shot.

Unfortunately, (I wish I was making this up) we do not have any ATI materials provided to us. We have never been given the textbooks etc. as “remediation” we were given passpoint which is a question bank by lipincott and Saunders. I do have an account. I bought the board vitals question bank through ATI and I also have the comprehensive review book on the way. But, the results tab is locked by my instructors. For what reason, god only knows. I have a lay out of where I need to work on, though. Like scores for topics- psychological integrity, assessment, etc.

Can you tell me if your school is an ADN, BSN,   for profit or not for profit?

I am wondering if perhapsm the ATI is a gate keeper, preventing failures further on at the time of NCLEX. They are certainly obstructionists.

It is just a diploma program. RN. It very much is a gate keeper. This is a private college. Jersey college of nursing. I have to pass this in order to graduate and be able to take NCLEX

I did look up your school NCLEX stats in New Jersey and Florida. The test is a gate keeper as you said as the pass rates are exceptional. Looks like once you pass the comprehensive test it is all smooth sailing. I wish I had more to offer you in resources. Best wishes to you.
