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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We used ATI in our nursing program. I take the NCLEX in a couple weeks, so I guess we'll see what happens. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.:) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
