It is http://www.ATItesting.com and Assessment Technologies Institute, LLC - Virtual Education. They have a number of diffrent products but it was actually included as part of our program.

Ati testing, tutoring, and books were included in my tuition and I love it. Ive talked to formal students who graduated before me and took nclex and from what they were telling me, it has similar/same questions as nclex. It helped me out a lot during my school year.
You both are lucky, it is not included tiny tuition,it is costing me $588 and I need it by the 3rd of next month and if I get it late it's an additional $35. I have know idea how I am going to get this book because I am not working right now and I have to get books this week and get my CPR this week as well. Ahhhh the life of an lpn student

That's terrible! My class requires it but the professors went out of their way to get us a discount. We pay $225 before Fall and $225 before spring. Yours should probably look into that next time around.
They should do something because asking for that kind of money for books, ati. And uniforms is just plain crazy. Wish me luck

It really is worth the money. Also comes with NCLEX review at the end. And you have access to it for a whole year after graduation. Mine cost me about $800. :-/ that wasn't counting the $2500 in books I had to buy before the year started.. Sucks. But you do what ya gotta do.

My school allowed us to pay for the ATI materials as we went. For instance, pay only for Fundamentals when taking the class, for Med Surg when taking that class etc. That way I did not have to shell out the almost $800 total all at once.

As expensive as it is ATI books are so worth it. Alot of my classes are based on the ati books. The focused reviews are tedious but you learn more then you think. I just took my funds and my pharm ati's and did really good. Alot of people who graduated from my program say it prepares you for the boards and if you can pass the ATI exit exams you'll have no problem passing boards.
Thank you. I got it on Friday good to know it is worth it
