ati/kaplan

I did the ati at the end of July and got a 98%. I felt like I couldn't remember the things I had learned at the beginning of the year and was surprised to have received such a high percentage. I am scheduled to take my test Oct. 9th. I would like to know if the ati is a good predictor too. Thanks for posting the question.

I graduated in Aug. and took ATI predictor and the results were 98% of passing NCLEX and I took NCLEX on Sept. 2nd and PASSED!! I think ATI is a pretty good predictor! Goodluck!!

you didn't waste any time...I'm scared...graduated in aug also.....what did u use to study for boards????? Thanks and congrats!

I used Lippencott and Saunders also, check out the random fact throwing thread, it is AWSOME!!!

Thank you soo soo soo much for this thread!! I got a 97% on my ATI predictor test, but reviewing Saunders now, I feel so unprepared for the NCLEX. Especially the ever dreaded SELECT ALL THAT APPLY!!

I hear you Alisa I don't do too well on those......are you scheduled yet?

I am trying to get Suzanne's Plan done now.

Hi Brant... am scheduled to take the test at the end of the month, and I'm having the worlds biggest MI..lol. I am also following Suzzane's plan, as well as Lippincott, and some notes someone here sent me (let me know if you want them, they're pretty good). But good luck to you, study hard:typing, and I'm sure we'll all do great! :specs:

My school requires us to do ATI and I feel so like it is a waste of time. But, now hearing from some of you changes my mind. Thanks for the input!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is Suzanne's Plan? I'm not graduating till next year, but I figure on breaks I could start preparing for the NCLEX.

I've been reading around and from what I've read and been told, the ati predictor or any diagnostic test isn't a definite indicator of whether you should be able to pass or fail. What is a good indicator, however, is the attitude and state of mind you hold towards the exam.

I recall a story told by my professor about two students who took the same diagnostic test. One recieved a 99th percentile score, while the other recieved a 1. And you know who failed? The one with the 99 because she proceeded thereon to be overconfident and thought lightly about the exam, hardly using any preparation. The other student passed first time after spending months religiously preparing

If you feel you've prepared enough and feel ready, then your good to go
