ATI for RN NCLEX

Published

Has anyone used atitesting or atitutor for their RN NCLEX?

I hear a lot of RNs doing Hurst Review and Kaplan not ATI too much to help with NCLEX and more so LPNs doing ATI.

I recently passed my boards and starting my lpn-rn bridge program in Jan. I want to know ahead of time what is best although I am aiming for Kaplan.

Feedback on ATI (RN), Hurst Review, and Kaplan would be great thanks

I used atitutor for my LPN and it was good to me. Gave me discipline. I don't think I would do as good of studying as if I were to study on my own. I passed on my first try. I used addition resources as well. I am also using atitutor now for my RN. I know someone who did the hurst course for the PN and they said it was good. I chose not to go that route but buy the hurst nclex review book to brush up on my content for the RN

Hope this helps.

Thanxs for your response. My lpn program offered atitutor and I only did 1 comp review and maybe 2 practice tests. It was good but too much so I did atitesting and used other nclex material.

I do not know what the ATI Tutor is, but ATI was something we used through out our program. The comprehensive was one of my finals (to pass the entire program). That, and the HESI. I can't say for sure if it helped me, or not, quite yet. I take my NCLEX-RN on the 17th.

I will say, my school is steering away from ATI, and focusing on Kaplan/HESI. With that in mind, I haven't done any ATI review since I graduated.

Instead, I bought the Kaplan NCLEX-RN Strategies, Practice, and Review book. I've been reading the chapters/answering questions out of that book. I'm also using the Kaplan question trainers, and will be looking at LaCharity's PDA as well.

I haven't used NCLEX-3500/4000 very much at all since graduating. This is mostly due to Kaplan's questions being harder, thus I believe they're more beneficial. I'll likely hit up NCLEX-4000 to take a series of alternate questions only practice exam prior to the NCLEX.

The thing is, everyone's different. And that just means that everyone will, or will not need different things, and different methods of studying. But if I were to make a solid recommendation, I would not rely solely on the ATI Tutor as the only form of studying prior to taking the NCLEX.

Ok thank you for your response. Even with my lpn I didnt rely totally on ati I used other materials. I think RNs use for Hesi and Kaplan and LPNs more Ati. I think that I will probably do Kaplan, Saunders or Pearson Vue, and Nclex 3000 RN. Thank you

HESI was a requirement for our coursework; we had testing throughout each semester, and a readiness exam that was at the end of the final semester. We had the Evolve program and it was available throughout the program.

Kaplan was suggested and offered to students; as well as the NCSBN program (by the makers of NCLEX). I used the NCLEX 3000 by Saunders flash cards, Success Series Pharm. Phlash cards, NSCBN program and the Kaplan book, and other sources as well.

My school started out using Hesi and Evolve but changed over to Ati

I used both ATI and Kaplan, Ati was included with my schools tuition and we were strongly encouraged by the school to use ATI. I personally felt I got more nclex style questions with Kaplan. Ati seemed to be more basic knowledge based questions and not the application based questions that nclex uses.

Thanks for your reply. I felt the same way about Kaplan looking more like the actual nclex after looking at the strategies book and ati being basic.
