How many of you...

We are required to take it but it does not count as a grade.

Do you take it every semester ?

We take ATI every semester and its pass or fail the course.

ATI and HESI are not the same thing.

We have ATI as a learning supplement with practice tests/quizzes.

I take it every semester! It used to be an exit requirement, but now it's just another test grade.

We are only required to take it yearly, but does not count as a grade. They are requiring the next years' class to pass it to graduate, but that was not required for our class.

I know of some schools that do what yours does, I'm glad I didn't apply there.

We have to take it in our last semester of school, but it doesn't count towards our grade or decide if we pass or not.

we utilize ATI as well and we have to get 90% or better in each of the modules we're assigned and completed by a certain date and that is considered 5% of our grade. We don't do HESI - we do take the ATI predictor exam at the end and its counted as 3 points on our leadership grade if we get level 3, 2 points for 2 and 1 point for level 1.

My program used ATI but it wasn't for a grade. It was a supplement to the course.

Our school has just implemented it starting with our class. We will take it every semester and it will be 5% of our grade. Any idea how much it cost for each test? We haven't gotten much info about it.

Wow, that's ridiculous. We took it once in my program, following the fall semester of senior year. It was not for a grade and not required to pass the program; it just determined if we were allowed to choose a specialty area for our clinical practicum in the spring. The logic was that if you didn't do well on the HESI you needed more med-surg review, but if you did very well and were competent on the HESI you could afford to work in a specialty because your knowledge was good. I think it's insane that a school would use it for a GRADE... that test is hard!
