ATI or Mosby results

sr moore, BSN, RN · May 9, 2005

We are taking our mental health ATI next week. We did two last semester. It seems in our last semester before we grad, we have 5 ATI tests to take along with our reg exams. This is supposed to be a better prep for NCLEX. THis is only the second year that our school has mandated these.

According to my results from ATI that we took about a month ago, I have a 99% chance of passing the boards. Hmmmm. Not sure if I feel comfortable with those results because the test wasn't that hard. But there were some classmates who did not do very well on it, so I know it wasn't super easy. We had several of the new format questions on the test and none of the class liked them. The point and click questions were really hard because there were several different choices very close to one another (it was a question about self breast exams) and it was hard to see where the correct placement was due to the close proximity. This was how my results were scored up and given to me (any Score above 70 is considered good):

I couldn't get it to look like the chart that was given to me, but if you read across, the first number is my score, the second number is the National Percentile, and the third number is the Program Percentile. So for the RN Comprehensive Predictor, my Score is 72.8, the National Percentile is 90, and the Program Percentile is 89

Score Explanation and Interpretation

Individual Percentage Score: The number of questions answered divided by the total number of questions on the assessment.

Individual Percentage National Mean: Percentage Correct Interval

The average score obtained by all test takers in the ATI data pool who have previously taken the assessment.

>= 70% .99

68% - 69% .98

66% - 67% .97

64% - 65% .95

62% - 63% .91

60% - 61% .83

58% - 59% .74

56% - 57% .58

54% - 55% .40

52% - 53% .28

50% 51% .15

Individual Program Mean: The average score obtained by all test takers of the same program type (e.g., BSN, ADN, Diploma, Hospital, International) in the ATI data pool who have previously taken the assessment.

Individual National Percentile Rank: The test taker's rank on a scale of 1-99 (with 99 being the highest) of all others in the data pool who have taken the assessment.

Individual Program Percentile Rank: The test taker's rank on a scale of 1-99 (with 99 being the highest) of all others of the same program type (e.g., BSN, ADN, Diploma, Hospital, International) in the ATI data pool who have taken the assessment.

How to Use the Expectancy Table:

To determine your chances of passing NCLEX-RNbased on your score on the RN Comprehensive Predictor, find your score within the range in the left column of the table. Follow that row across to the right side of the table. This number indicates your likelihood of passing the NCLEX-RN. For example, if you score a 66% on the RN Comprehensive Predictor, the assessment predicts that you have a 97% chance of passing NCLEX-RN.

The Topics to Study section lists the topic descriptor and applicable statistics for any questions missed on the assessments. ATI recommends using this information to identify topic areas that may need further study.

I've got similar results and printouts. I was wondering about the accuracy though. I've started doing Saunders. My goal is about 300 questions per day. I have to hurry as I scheduled my NCLEX on June 3rd and I accepted a RN position already.
