There's no such thing as a good level 1 score.

[ArrowRN, BSN, RN]

A level 1 does not equal passing, only level 2 or 3.

Hummm...Below is grading criterion DIRECTLY from ATI. Anyways Level 3 level 1 none of it matters ATI is just a reference. Level 3 and level 2 means the candidate EXCEEDS expectations if they were to take the nclex today. Level 1 means MEETS minimum expectations for the Nclex. Anyways, ATI is just a gauge nursing schools uses and it has no relevance at the end of the day All that matters is passing the NCLEX. Even after taking the NCLEX it won't say on your license PASS at 75 or 265 questions. A pass is a pass.

@ man-nurse2b, well it may not matter for you school, but it does for mine. You can not go on to the next semester with a Level 1. I guess different schools different rules:up:

[Wannabeeinscrubs, ADN, LPN, RN]

Every school is different with grading. For us a level 1 score is between a 48.3%-63.2%, level 2 is a 63.3%-81.6%, level 3 is 81.7%-100%. In our whole class 25% scored below a level 1, 25% scored level 1 and 50% scored level 2. Not one person scored a level 3. They wanted a level 2 proficiency, but we can move forward into pharmacology with a level 1, however level 1 and below are required to take the ATI a second time to see if they can improve their score.

[Wannabeeinscrubs, ADN, LPN, RN]

Our program changed requirements, to move on to level 2 in the program and start the second year, you had to pass the fundamentals ATI with a level 2 score. The bumped out a bunch of students in the program, more than 1/2. Of the 40 to start, only 18 will move on. The rest are out.
