How do you know what level (1,2,3) you are for ATI tests?

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their experiences and concerns regarding ATI exams in nursing school. They are sharing their scores, confusion about scoring levels, and tips for studying. There is also a discussion about the availability of ATI review books and resources.

I am a nursing student. I will be taking my fundamentals & mental health ATIs tomorrow. It is the end of our portion of this class, and we will be receiving a small grade for this based off of what level we score on these ATIs. I'm practicing, but don't see levels anywhere on the results. Our teacher tried to explain this, but it's still really unclear to all of us and she had to leave. My understanding was that anything below a 70% is below a level 1... And that in order to score a level 3, you practically have to have a 90-95%. Can someone enlighten me?

Phew, thanks for clearing this up! I'm passing my class, but as you can imagine, these exams can be nerve-wracking..Unless you have a nice solid a in the class anyway. I scored really high on my ati teas..I was in the 93rd percentile nationwide...However...These ati exams, coming up, seem to be in a whole different ballpark, if I'm not mistaken. I'm still wondering which level is what percentile.

I find it upsetting that I don't know most of the stuff in these ati books/practice tests. It might be my school...I feel like I'm not learning a lot there. I hope I pass everything tomorrow. Do you mind sharing what your ati scores were (percent-wise?). I'm looking @ my results right now and I'm just so baffled. I feel absolutely clueless and cannot help but to wonder how I can be doing so poorly.

Ps. Are the percentiles based off of other nursing students...Or just anyone who decides to take the test? (ie. Rns, or those who may have previous experience or advantage?).

Anyone, please show me what ATI book i will need to purchase. I WOULD LOVE TO READ IT ahead of time.

THANKS

The books are often a packaged deal that you get through your nursing program. Otherwise your online access to the ATI practice tests should include PDF/electronic versions of the ATI review books. I'm not certain if you can purchase the review books anywhere else, I'm pretty sure they are only available to those who subscribe to the ATI assessment testing program. Whether your school elects to purchase/offer the books depends on the program they choose. My program purchased the books and the online access.

Here's a list of resources from the ATI website:

You can buy the books on Ebay nowadays. Of course, it doesn't come with online access; you need a school code for that. the Ebooks can be saved to a computer; thus they can be shared electronically to other people ?

Our teacher told us to Google "ATI Levels" and I found the same pdf. The 2016 Levels/scores are the same for the 2013 version.
