Hi and welcome to AN - the largest peer to peer nursing network! While I can't answer your specific question, this is a very large site and there will be others along soon.

I did ATI and I did not think it was similar to NCLEX-RN. I can't speak for PN. I felt the NCLEX-RN was most similar to Kaplan questions.

ATI is more for content

Hi, I recently took and passed the NCLEX PN on my first try with 85 questions. Our school was huge on ATI and we even did the virtual ATI program after graduation. I think the structure of the questions are similar to ATI, but that's just my personal opinion. The content however, is more similar to NCSBN. To be completely honest though, I feel like none of the studying I did helped me greatly, I may be mistaken though. Although I did not study content, I did a TON of questions to get used to the way the questions are asked. Good luck, future nurse!

I did ATI (RN) in school and found it to be more difficult but nothing at all like NCLEX. It's not a terrible tool, but it is certainly not comprehensive. I don't believe I would have passed NCLEX using only ATI. My school actually got rid of ATI (right after I graduated) and switched to Kaplan. They did that because NCLEX pass rates were low (out of 70 grads in 2013, 16 failed, and out of the same number this year, 11 failed).

My school is fully integrated with ATI and the first cohort to graduate and test for the NCLEX was this summer. So far the word is a 100% pass rate, my cohort will be fully integrated as well, plus the rest of the changes our school has made to up their NCLEX pass rates over the past few years.
