I have tried to take all the advice I've seen posted here, and have studied for 3 weeks and I just don't know what else to do. I score well on the practice tests in the ATI study guide, but when I do the online practice tests I can't get over 70. I'm beyond frustrated, especially with the science section. I have never taken chemistry or physics and no matter how hard I try, I am not learning apparently what I need to be. I've used online places like YouTube and Khan Academy, is there any other suggestions for places I can go for chem and physics? I am testing on the 18th. Reading and Math I can do well in, science is absolutely killing me and my English I can't seem to score over 70 in. Any help/ advice is really appreciated!
Ugh, well I did finish everything, but not sure if I should be happy. I got a 79%. Break down is Reading- 86% Math-87% Science-63% and English-87%. I felt a little relieved to see the average for our program and national (i ranked 96 within the program) until I saw what program type it was.... PN. Ugh! I'm applying for ASN so now I have no clue on did I take the wrong test.. and while it seemed like I ranked fairly well within the program, it's not even the program I want. Bleh! I emailed the nursing advisor but of course I can't even relax now. I'm going to retake it, now that I have a feel for it hopefully I can get it up by 5-10% but I don't want to HAVE to retake it because of it being the wrong test. Anyone happen to know if it makes a difference?
Good for you for scoring that with running out of time on 2 sections! You will definetly kill it the next time!

Oh yeah, even with running out of time I was way above the national and program averages :/ Program average was 56.0% National average was 64.3% So right now on the practice tests you are above both of these. I got a 79% with running out of time. This is encouraging for me because the reading and math were kind of easy. The practice tests were way harder.
