ATI Predictor in relation to passing/failing the NCLEX

[Amberjo]

Hey guys- I took the NCLEX in October and did not pass. However, I did not complete the Ati-Virtualed program like the rest of my classmates did that passed I am getting ready to take it a 2nd time on Jan 31st and this time I completed the program and took the ATI predictor. I received a score of 68% with a 93% chance of passing the NCLEX. Does anyone know how much truth there is to this? Has anyone gotten this score and passed the NCLEX successfully? My coach said that people that have above a 90% do well on the NCLEX. I guess I'm just getting anxious about taking it again and I really want to pass this time!!! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks :)

Predictor test scores do not necessarily guarantee performance. The NCLEX is known for being unpredictable. Instead, focus on learning the material. Good luck.

Virtual ATI is a great program- if you follow you're coach's recommendations and wait for the green light, your chance of passing should be excellent. The VATI predictor is very difficult. I scored 74% on it which was a 95% chance of passing, and I did pass with 75 questions :)

Good Luck to you!!

I wouldn't put to much into it. I got a 92% on the ATI predictor test and let it get me way over confident. I didn't study hardly at all and failed the nclex:( Getting ready to take it again, just doing tons of ATI tests. Good Luck!

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to complete the virtual ATI? I have to complete it before my school will allow to have my transcripts to take my boards.

ATI is not a good predictor. At all. Like someone posted it gives a false sense of security. ATI was much easier than the NCLEX in my opinion. Even if you think you did well, you should put those scores aside and still study hard. Its a serious test. ATI was black and white. NCLEX is multicolored.
