ATI Med Surg 2019 Proctored Exam

Updated:   Published

My professor only opened up the practice assessments for the 2016 Med Surg. How different is 2016 from 2019? Usually I study quizlets, but there are none for the 2019. Also any advice to get a level 2 or 3? Thanks ?

From what I understand most students in current nursing programs (at least in my area) are using the 2016 ATIs still for Practice A and Practice B. Do your practice exams and remediate if your school requires it (we have to fill out study templates for B and meet with an ATI instructor before doing our proctored exams).

After I remediate, I flip through problem chapters daily, and then 2-3 days before an exam, I take ALL of the Nursing 3.0 quiz questions on whatever area my proctored exam is on (there's a lot for med surg so you may need to allow more time!). The questions aren't exactly what'll be on your exam, but they're a great study tool and they help you get comfortable with how ATI wants you to answer certain questions. The rationales will help you think through the questions, do NOT skip reading them ?

The day before your proctored exam, do not study (trust me on this), just take the day to yourself and relax as much as your schedule will allow. Get 8-10 hours of sleep if you can that night. Then, the day of, grab a nice cup of coffee or tea and just skim through your problem areas and maybe re-do some practice questions. I have earned level 2 or 3 on all of my exams so far (med-surg, mental health, leadership, and maternal/newborn) using this method. The most important thing, though, is not to let ATI intimidate you with their questions. Just think of it as a valuable study tool, and use everything they have to offer to help you succeed. Good luck!

I have to take the 2019 ATI Med Surg next week and need to get a level two. I need to find tools to help me pass besides my ATI books asap. I hope someone knows or can give advice as to how to review things quicker for success. Thank you.

Hey I’m taking mine in a week! What helped you? I also need tips. I know this was a year ago but maybe you can help!

Can you retake a level 2 to get a level 3? My instructor said I can't since I scored a level 2 before. Is this normal?
