ATI really a good NCLEX predictor?

okidoki · May 31, 2009

Just don't rely of predictions. When I tried ATI, I got around 96% chance of passing the exam. But, I didn't make it. Just study hard, more practice test, have faith that we will pass, and pray. I think, with that formula, I will now pass the exam the next time I will sit in the testing center of pearsonvue.

Most of the people in my class failed the end of program exams, yet passed the boards. I wouldn't place too much emphasis on the results. Tests that keep one from graduating from their program have the most impact.

My opinion of the ATI is not a good one. We take one for each class, each semester. We get the % and it will tell us our level we earned(Below level 1 to a level 3). Here's how it breaks down for me. I make high B's and A's...but I end up usually getting below Level 1 on the ATI, my score is in the 50's or 60's. The ppl in my class who are failing, get Level 2's usually or higher. Last semester in my med/surg class, I had an 88 avg, but got a 56% on the ATI, below level 1. Of the 54 ppl who failed, I talked to at least 35 of them who got a Level 1 or 2. Maybe I will fail the NCLEX, maybe I won't...but this prediction doesn't seem accurate as of right now. I SWEAR they make those results randomly, I think they weigh different questions differently...but either way I don't like ATI.

If you were in my program, you wouldn't get a chance to sit for NCLEX. Our crappy school ties ATI score to progression for almost every couse. Even courses like nurse leadership. So you could have gotten an A+ in the course and clinical, but if you scored below a level II (two attempts) on the ATI then you receive an F for the course and a U for the clinical. You then have to retake the entire course and the clinical. It's complete horse-ish, and we have lost quite a few students who in my opinion would've had made really great nurses.

the main thing about ati is that it would let u know where is ur weak area once u grasp that then start mastering in that area it doesn't matter from where the book is a good source and then u go back an u test and see if it made a difference in u r score and so on......
