I was just wondering if any body has used the ATI review package. It seems like it has a lot of material to cover. I took the nclex exam in November and failed. I looked at the demo and it said it would analize your score to see your weak areas. Then it would prepare you based on that.

We have the ATI incorporated into our school program. I just took the 3 hour ATI predictor test and it says I have a 91% chance of passing the NCLEX, which I take with a grain of salt because it is not a computer adaptive test and they most likely have not incorporated that it is now harder to pass the NCLEX, since April.
I think that the ATI questions are more difficult than Saunder or NCLEX Made Easy, which is a good thing.
Talked to ATI about there NCLEX prep package but they couldnt even answer all of my questions. I wanted to know if there is a test to take half way through to check you progress that wasnt the same as the final test and they couldnt answer the question, along with other unprofessional answers I chose to go with Kaplan.
Thanks Clever user name. Did you find Kaplan useful? Did you take the online review or class. I have been away and have tried Saunders but I answered most of the books questions. I need more practice questions. I know Kaplan has Q bank do you recommend it.

Kaplan is similar and harder than the actual NCLEX exam but, it prepare you well. I have found that the ATI testing is good with the maternity material but, you most try kaplan.

I had to use ATI for my exit exams from school and they told me I was in the 98% to pass NCLEX-PN on the first try. It was nice to know, but of course, like you, I wanted to study more. Their CDs suck lemons, because most of the time, it is just one lady talking the whole time, no diagrams, no figures, nothing...boring as heck. They only had one question bank that can be used within a week if you used questions the way that I did. I can say that they may have been right, I did pass the first time, but it was not due to their study material. The booklets they give are nice to have for your library, but it was not complete. Quite a few disorders were not mentioned.
