ATI vs. Saunders

The source does not matter, only that you learn the material that allows you the ability to answer questions about the material.

I totally agree....be careful with sanders though.......there questions are NOT application type questions....but they are great for content review in my opinion...

I've heard some people say that ATI's questions are closer to the real thing. We used ATI in our nursing program. I take the NCLEX in a couple weeks, so I guess we'll see what happens.

I actually used both to help me study for NCLEX over 2 years ago. ATI was a bit harder but I felt it helped me with the advanced questions and concepts. Taking the test conditions your mind to choose the correct response. I did use Saunders and did really well with it. Both are great resources and will help you with the exam. BTW I passed with 75 questions in 1 hour the first time. Good Luck.:)

ATI questions are closer to the nclex than saunders...but dont get me wrong..saunders Q and A book has a place for studying b/c it helps review nursing content....isaunders Q and A was better than opening a big old comprehensive book and NOT know what to study....

I'm using both ATI and Saunders to study for the NCLEX and there seems to be a big disparity between the two. I do really well when reviewing with the Saunders book and CD and not so well when using ATI. I honestly prefer the Saunders and the only reason I use the ATI is because I paid for it (didn't have a choice) but I was wondering if anyone knew if both were just as good when it comes to NCLEX prep.

I too am using Saunders and ATI and YES... I would agree there are HUGE discrepancies between the two.. Which is most creditable??? I just want to know that I'm obtaining and studying the RIGHT information.
