Did anyone use ATI? Seems more of a benefit for the school..

[WVStarFish]

I just graduated LPN school in June and our school made us buy the ATI materials and assessments. All of the students thought that it was meant to prepare us for the NCLEX-PN but since taking the assessments in school, there are no options to re-take tests.

The school had a proctored ATI predictor test for us, and I think for $400 I should be able to take that test more than once. Or any of the tests, but especially the practice test!

Anyone have any advice on this one?

i couldn't agree with you more. ati was a big waste of time and money for me. imo it benefitted the nursing school more than anyone.

I couldn't agree with you more! Our school made us take it as the exit exam but you can take it until you pass cuz I took it twice and it was included in our tuition fees but it was $175 for books and proctored tests!!! But it's definitely a waste of time and money>>> I found Kaplan to be much more useful... Hang in there, you are almost there!!!
