I was wondering if passing the ATI predictor with a "84% pass rate" is a good indication of passing NCLEX. Everywhere i've read here said that people got at least a 95% chance of passing. Is it similar to the NCLEX?

I got a 98% chance of passing. I took an hour and a half and passed with 75 questions.

This is a good indicator, but it is not infallible. Most of my class, myself included, failed our predictor tests yet we all passed the boards. So continue to prepare and relax the day before. Good luck.

I got a 96% chance of passing according to the ATI, I took my exam last week, stop at 75 questions and passed! The NCLEX is like no other exam you will ever take. Just do lots and lots of pratice questions

I got a 99% on the predictor and I got 75 questions and passed. HOWEVER, I cannot stress to you enough that all the predictor tests in the world will not help you pass... It is up to you to put the effort into studying like mad while waiting to take the NCLEX. It would have been incredibly foolish of me to take that 99% result and kick up my heels for the next three months and not cracked a book or a practice test, and I assure you had I done that, my 99% would have meant absolutely nothing because I would have failed. Predictors are just another tool in your toolbelt, but it is by no means the end-all and be-all. People "fail" predictors and pass NCLEX and people "pass" predictors and fail NCLEX... It is what you make it!

Dangerous is absolutely correct. NCLEX is like nothing else. It is challenging and difficult. It was the hardest test I EVER TOOK.
I got a 92 percent predictor on ATI. To me, that was not good enough. I was an honor student. I thought I should have done better. Most of my friends got 96 percent and above. I know I am not a great standarized test taker... so I spoke to my advisor and she recommended Kaplan. My school offered Hurst. So I did BOTH Hurst and Kaplan. I studied EVERYDAY since graduation. Yes 92 was good, but not good enough in my eyes, and I wanted to pass this thing first time out. So studying I did. I found out I PASSED just the other day. Had I relied just on the predictor test, I think I would have failed. YOU HAVE TO STUDY FOR THIS. No doubt about it. Do not rely on any prediction.
GOOD LUCK!!!
